DS. DISTINCTIVE STYLE Dog Pill Shooter 2 Pieces Pet Piller Pill Dispenser for Large Dogs Handy Pill Gun for Medium to Large Breed Up to 45 Pounds

I sometimes struggle to get my chowchow to take his twice daily pills. He is past the point of being able to force them so this tool has been incredibly useful in getting the pill down his throat quickly and efficiently.

The product did not work as I had hoped. The pill I need to administer is round. It did not fit well into the device. After getting the pill in the device, the pill would not come out of the device once in the dogs mouth. I would return, but I didn't need until after the return date.

These pill poppers work well. And they come with a round cardboard cylinder to fit over the tips to keep them pressed together. This is necessary to keep the jaws of the tip tight so pills don’t fall out. At first I didn’t know what the round cardboard pieces were for until I put them on the tips.The body of the pill popper is 0.47 inches in diameter so you’ll want to take that into consideration for the size of your pet’s mouth. I have cats and the popper works great on them. The 0.47 diameter body is big enough to hold three small pills or one larger one. I remove the plunger and drop the pills into the center of the body. I make sure the tip (or jaws) are tightly pressed together by the round cardboard piece.To insert the pills into your pets mouth put your hand behind its head and use your fingers to gently coax the animal to open their mouth. It just takes a small amount of pressure pushing against the jaw joint to get the pet to open their mouth. Then quickly inset the popper to back part of the tongue. Don’t go too deep. Then quickly push the plunger in and the pills should be far enough back in the pet’s throat for it to swallow the pills. Remember to hold the pet’s head slightly up. Be gentle. If you use force the animal will instinctively get fearful. You can talk to your pet to help keep them calmer.I’m dosing one cat two times a day with 1 1/2 pills. She takes them well and after it’s finished she acts like she doesn’t even remember what happened. Make the event as stress free so your animal won’t get traumatized by being force fed pills.

I didn't even know these existed. My office clerk at my vet recommended it since my dog wouldn't take his pills. The only thing I don't like about it, is I have one large pill I have to cut in half for it to fit in the tube. Sometimes when I cut it it still won't fit. Otherwise I love it!

Product did not work for my dog. She spit out pill multiple times

Works great. My old Labrador has to take denamarin medication everyday. Problem is it has to be taken on an empty stomach, but it’s a big-ish tablet and she doesn’t like the taste of it, she’ll spit it out. With this pill shooter, I’m able to push the tablet to the back of her mouth where she has to swallow it.

Dispense DOES NOT 🚫 hold capsule. It keeps falling out so prior to dispensing, so there is no way to get it down your dog's mouth/throat. Will not let me return it either. Very unhappy.

We have two dogs- one is special needs and has to have a daily medication as well as an as needed anxiety med. We’ve tried everything (pill pockets. Steak. Cheese. Lunch meat. Yogurt. Peanut butter. Shoving it in her face and holding her mouth. Hot dogs. Baby food. If I haven’t listed it, it’s because I’ve forgotten, not because we haven’t tried!) It was New Year’s Eve, and fireworks had already been going for hours. Dog was a wreck. We were both our own version of human wreckage. Happened to stumble across this little beauty. Lord, why didn’t we know about this thing before??? I tell you what- if you’re having doubts, stop doubting and just get it. Get the two pack. Get the ten pack. (Mostly because with “normal” usage, the prongs on the end will wear out because it’s made of plastic) But now, our poor little glass nerved fur child has a chance at living a semi-normal life, and so do we. Buy the thing.
