"My little buddy gets lots of meds everyday (congestive heart failure, allergies, anxiety). He’s also picky with a sensitive stomach, so we have to mix it up and keep it exciting for him. This is one way we do that."

β€” Jan

"In the past, I have gotten the same kind of food substance that was made into pill pockets that you could put the pill into andthey would swallow down. Just be careful when you order this knowing that it’s just a jar of the soft material and you have to take thepill and wrap the food stuff around ..."

Bottom Line

This pill wrap is a good substitute to help feed pills easily. Extra care and attention should be put into storage.
