"We had previously gone to great lengths getting liquid versions of these pills. But they were not easy to get Angel to take these. So I decided to try just wrapping a whole Tylosin in a Pill Pocket - and he loved it! Chewed each pill in half and then swallowed both halves! I could hardly believe..."

"Unfortunately my dog refuses to eat it unless I hide it in cheese. She seems to not like the smell of it as she won't even take it."
