In today’s episode of the Buzby Dog Podcast, we are going to cover five easy ways to coerce your dog to take medications, inspired by my recent personal experience. I’m blessed to have 3 healthy mutts who I don’t often have to medicate. But as I pried my dog’s jaws open to give him an antibiotic that there was no way he was taking willingly, I realized that, as a vet, prescribing the appropriate medication for your dog is only half of the battle! What about YOU, standing in the kitchen, holding a pill, looking at your dog while your dog looks back at you, both wondering who’s going to win? The answer, my friend, is YOU!
Here are a five of my favorite tips, tricks, and techniques for getting your dog to take his medicine in today’s episode: 1)The Bribe 2)The Bait and Switch 3)The Trick and Treat 4) Jaws 5)The Accomplice
