Vetoquinol Pill Wrap Treats for Dogs & Cats – 4oz, 56 servings – Hides Any Size, Shaped Pill – Moist, Flavorful & Shapeable Pill Pocket Paste – Easy-to-Swallow Masking Pill Pouch for Training & Treats

I could not be happier with this pill wrap. I originally didn't try it since my girl doesn't like pill pockets but it's definitely worth trying. The strong bacon scent really helps. This jar will last a good while as well with the amount I tend to use covering her pills daily. --more info and a tip for dosing cats that dislike soft textures: My cat has anxiety, FHS, and other issues. One of the medications she takes is fluoxetine which is not at all palatable to her. We've tried so many different ways to get her to take it, but either she'd just entirely avoid it if mixed in something or she'd get even more stressed out by it being pushed on her using a pill shooter or gelatin capsule. This is the first thing we've tried that actually completely worked without any stress for her or wasted meds. She seems to like the taste of it and is drawn in by the bacon scent. She doesn't like the texture much since it's chewy and she's a crunchy treat girl. At first we stuck it to the back of one of her favorite crunchy treats and while that did work out somewhat, she would pick it up and drop it a few times before eating it because the soft texture threw her off. To avoid that, I started splitting the crunchy treat as evenly as possible, putting the pill on the inside, and pressing the other piece of treat back on. It works because the wrap is kind of sticky. It kind of looks like an ice cream sandwich at that point. Then I use broken crunchy treat bits to fill in the edges and sides as much as possible to cover that sticky, soft texture for her. It ends up looking like an irregular, slightly thicker and uneven treat at the end. She actually tends to choose that one first because the bacon scent entices her and she now happily takes her much needed medication without any additional stress. We've given other pills to her using this method and she's eaten all of them without any problems.

One of our cats recently developed heart problems and had to take medicine daily. He's the most nervous and easily frightened cat of the dozen or so we've had so grabbing him to squirt medicine in his mouth was incredibly difficult. And I'm sure he was terrified every time we did it. But we learned from our vet of a service called MixLabs that mix the medicine into an edible "treat". He hates taking medicine and even in treat form, he refuses to take it. We found this product and figured it was worth a shot and it has worked perfectly. We wrap the pill/treat in some of this stuff and he eats it right up. It has made ours and his life so much easier. It's basically like bacon flavored Play-Doh. You just pull out a little bit and wrap the pill or whatever in it. Make sure that the pill stays within the wrap and doesn't touch any of the exterior. Your pet will smell the meds if it touches the outside of the wrap. One trick we do is to stick a crunchy treat on the side. The pill wrap is kind of slick and it sometimes is difficult for my cat to pick up and keep in his mouth while chewing. The dry treat gives his tongue something to grip while he licks it up and chews it. And it masks the smell of the medicine even more. This stuff is kind of expensive but it's worth every penny to us. Before the pill wrap, our cat was always nervous around us and scared that we'd pick him up and squirt horrible medicine in his mouth. But now he just happily takes his medicine and isn't worried around us.

The treat wraps around the pill like glue!!! I was having such a hard time getting my cat to swallow a pill. He would continually spit out the pill. Troubles no more!!! This wraps around any size pill, and allows for easy digestion the first time!!! A great product to have in the house for both cats and dogs!!! Highly recommend!!!

I rarely write product reviews, but this worked so well I had to share. My cat is usually very suspicious of pills, and I was honestly shocked that this worked on the first try. Here’s exactly what I did: I took a treat my cat already loves and cut it in half. I took one half of the treat and the whole pill together and wrapped them in the pill wrap paste to form one treat. Then I wrapped the other half of the treat with a little bit of paste too, just in case she ate that one first and thought, “oh this is good,” and then would go for the pill one second. I also gave her two regular treats with no paste. She ate all of them, including the one with the pill inside, no hesitation at all. I was so excited because giving her medication is usually stressful. This made it easy and completely stress-free. I really hope this helps other cat parents!

Update: I still have to open the cats mouth and put pill in, but the cat doesn’t spit out the wrapped pill, he will swallow it more readily when wrapped so increasing my review to 4stars. I ordered this to cover a bitter pill I have to give to my cat. It’s easy to use but the cat still refused to eat it voluntarily. My quest to pill my cat more easily continues.

This product is great and you don’t use as much as the pill pocket. My vet led me to great product.

So far this is the ONLY thing that has worked for pilling my cat. I tried hiding in treats, food, greenies pill pockets etc and nothing worked. He gets so stressed out when I pill him without anything, and now that's he's unfortunately on a cancer journey :( I knew that he's going to be getting a ton more daily pills. It was important for me to find something that makes the experience less stressful for us both. For some reason this paste works so that even if they chew a little bit, which is common with cats (unlike dogs who will scarf stuff down without biting), it still stays on and masks what's hidden inside. I saw this recommended on a feline cancer support group and I had low expectations it would work. But it's been 3 days of successful pilling with this paste. I find it helpful to do it before dinner when he's already hungry too.

Well, when it rains, it pours and both my cats ended up needing to be on pills at the same time. My young cat who is 1 and will eat anything is easy enough to hide in her food. But my almost 19 year old will pick around any pill in food! When she was diagnosed with cancer and had to start a steroid i was concerned because we struggled for at least a week. It was stressful for us both trying to get the pill in her. So I came online and bought a multitude of things to try (pill pusher, pill pockets and THIS product). I'd tried pill pockets before and she was able to chew them apart and spit out the pill, so I didn't have much hope for those or this product. Not to mention she is a picky eater. HOWEVER, I tried this product first, have been using it daily for a month now and haven't needed anything else. I even started giving my young cat her pill in this because it's easier for me to ensure she eats it immediately! They both LOVE the flavor and scent which I was surprised about with my elderly girl! Also, she can NOT chew it apart to separate treat from pill. I have had to split her pill in two, however, to make sure I'm not giving her anything larger than pea sized. She seems to struggle with the texture if it's larger and can have a hard time chewing/swallowing(though my younger cat doesn't). So as tiny as possible is the trick for us. Sometimes when I put it in front of her she acts picky for a moment, but I've found that if I roll the treat in my fingers a bit to warm it up then she ALWAYS goes for it. She hasn't missed a pill since this arrived in the mail and I am truly amazed! She's so much more content with the meds in her and I'm grateful to have found this product to make it easy and stress free for both of us to give them to her. HIGHLY recommend for any cat parents out there who have experienced the trauma of trying to give their cat a pill!
