Highlighted Reviews

— Sidney

"My 13 year old has a sensitive stomach and history of pancreatitis. Thankfully she can tolerate these pill pockets. The company recently changed the packaging so they are no longer dry and easy to shape! Thank you, VetriScience!"

— Theresa

"I currently have to give my Great Dane 8 pills twice a day. 1 pill barely fits in the extra large size pill pocket."

Bottom Line

Good for sensitive stomachs but better alternatives might exist for ease of use.
