How To Medicate Your Dog With a Pill

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 06:47 PM PST

Dogs are extremely lovable pets and when they get sick it will surely break your heart. However, diagnosing problems does not come easy because dogs love their owners to an almost worshipful level such that they won't exhibit any sort of obvious behavior or emotion that will give their owners the slightest hint of being sick. It is actually entirely up to you, the dog owner, to be sensitive and observe signs that your dog is not as healthy and vibrant on a given day. For instance, if your dog will only eat when prompted, that's a sign. Even when prompted, he eats less, that's also a sign. Your next step would be to prepare your dog for a check up and take it from there. Your dog will most likely take a needle or get medication intravenously or better, a regular pill feeding on vet-recommended time intervals.

Here are the steps you need to take to medicate your dog with a pill.
