This is the most effective for my cat, but just be sure they don't eat the treat around the pill and then spit the pill out.

Might I recommend the Inaba Churu pockets? We've been jamming pills into our girl's hell-scented maw for years but these have made such a huge difference. We insert one pill per pocket and she pounces on and gobbles them up. Now giving her pills is fun instead of leaving us with terrible smelling fingers served with a side of feline childhood trauma.

Plus Purina FortiFlora probiotic stuff. It's irresistible powder my vet recommended, and it works amazing if you shake the pill pocket in that stuff

I make pockets from meat.

  • Cut meat into bits of one cubic centimeter.
  • Cut pocket with scissors or knife. One incision makes a pocket.
  • Cut pill into ~10 fragments and insert into the pockets with tweezers. Squeeze the pocket open to avoid touching the outside of the meat bit with the bitter pill fragment.
