Getting pets to take pills is no picnic\u2014with cats probably outranking canines when it comes to level of difficulty. Pill pockets can help the medicine go down, but eventually, your pet might get wise to what you\u2019re doing, and you\u2019ll have to pivot your strategy. If that happens, try making your own pill pockets! It\u2019s fun; you\u2019ll save money; and you can occasionally switch-up the flavor and texture to keep your pet interested in eating this special \u201ctreat.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Pinterest and other social media sites, there are plenty of recipes for DIY pill pockets to choose from. Most recipes simply call for mixing a moist ingredient (like almond butter) with a thickening agent (like flour), and molding it into tiny morsels, making a cavity with a straw, and chilling (or sometimes baking depending upon the ingredients) until firm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
