Highlighted Reviews

"This is a great product to fool your furry friends to take medications with"

— Darrien

"These are terrible. My dog hates the taste. They are very stiff and you cannot mold them around the pill to the pill just falls out."

Bottom Line

These pill pouches are not consistently effective. They are too large, difficult to use, and have an unpleasant smell. Purchasing these would be a risk for the health problems with swallow pills due to falling out and refusing by dogs.
