Creative Ways to Get Your Pet to Swallow a Pill

Have you ever had to give your dog or cat a pill?  Not an easy task, is it?  Generally, it is thought the best way to give an animal a pill is to hide it in food.  This is easily accomplished with dogs.  Just break off a bite of hot dog and put the pill in it.  Dogs will gobble it right up.  If you try that method with a cat, they will probably sit and stare at you like you are crazy.  It takes some inventiveness to get a pill into a cat.  The best method I found is to put the pill in peanut butter and let the cat have a big lick of it.  The peanut butter will stick to the roof of the cat’s mouth and eventually it will swallow the pill with the peanut butter.  Pet owners have many creative means of getting their Pet Meds into the animals.  If you have any that are different from these, I would be interested in hearing them.
