Pill Treats Advanced Formula for Dogs, Chicken Flavor Soft Chews, Made in the USA, 30 Count

These are my current go-to pill pouches for my dog. She’s a medium-sized Aussie Retriever so these pouches are the perfect size for her, though I do need to put 2 pills inside the pouch so it gets a bit tight (I’d rather combine them into one pouch instead of use 2 pouches, to lengthen the lifespan of these treats). I love that the pouches are malleable though, so I’m able to pinch the ends shut to make sure the pills don’t fall out. My dog seems to love the taste of them, and they’re very easy to use/are functional for even larger pills. My ONLY possibly complaint other than the size of the hole (which could be a tad larger), is that the pouches themselves are quite hard. My dog has a strong jaw and teeth so she’s still able to eat the pouch every day, but you can tell by the way she chews it slowly that it’s a little tough. If these pouches were a SMIDGE more soft, I think they would be a lot easier for dogs to eat. This isn’t enough for me to dock a star, though. Otherwise, these are excellent. My dog has had no digestive or stomach problems with these (and she has 2 of them a day), and they’re very affordable (which is arguably the most important aspect of these treats to me).

VetIQ Pill Treats Advanced Formula has been a game-changer for giving my dog his daily meds. The built-in pill tube is super convenient—just pop the tablet in, pinch it closed, and serve. My pup thinks it’s just a tasty chicken-flavored treat and gobbles it right up without hesitation. The size is perfect for most pills, and the smell is appealing enough to get his attention instantly. I also appreciate that it’s made in the USA and doesn’t contain any wheat or artificial junk. It’s a vet-recommended product, and I can see why. One small downside: the texture can be a bit firm, especially in cooler temps, which makes sealing the pill inside a little tricky at times. But warming it in your hands for a few seconds helps a lot. Overall, if you’re tired of the pill battle and want a reliable, tasty solution, these treats are a solid pick. My dog gives them two paws up!

I was so happy to find a substitute for the Greenies pill pockets, and I had very high hopes for these. However, when I opened the bag it looked like rocks rolling out. These pill treats were hard as rocks, and badly shaped. Most of them split in half when you try to get a pill into them and then you end up trying to pack dry crumbs around the outside of a pill. I found that you can get them moist and rub them in your hands and get them somewhat malleable, but I seriously expected better. Seriously, they just arrive yesterday and I’ve only tried to give them to my dog twice now. He gets three pills in the evening, and three pills in the morning. Unfortunately, between the three pills last night and three pills this morning, I have had to use 10 of the pill treats to get just six pills into him. At first I thought maybe I just received an old bag, but I checked the expiration date and they are good until 2021, so these are in fact fresh products. I realize that these things can become smashed and flattened during handling and shipping, so I’m not as upset with the shape of the pill treats as I am the texture of them. As soon as I fed them to my dog, he started trying to chew on one which was apparently like chewing a piece of concrete he ended up spitting it & the pill out on the floor. It took several attempts to get the pill into him and several wasted pill treats. If I have to use more than one of the pill treats to get my dog to take his medicine, then there is no value there. Two of these is more expensive than a single pill pocket, and I know with the greenies pill pockets my dog is not going to have an issue. I really dislike leaving bad reviews here on Amazon, but it’s clear that I’m not the only one who’s had this problem. If you read other reviews, the texture seems to be a primary concern amongst all reviewer’s. I can’t say that I would recommend these, and would advise anyone to try other products first. I have gone back and ordered some Greenies pill pockets, and will use these pill treats until they arrive. However, once the Greenies are here these are going into the trash.

These are a game-changer if you have a dog that hates taking medicine. The texture is soft so it's easy to mold right around a pill, and the dogs love the flavor so much they just gulp it right down. No more trying to hide pills in cheese or peanut butter.

Our dog seems to like the flavor of them. Our dog is very picky and these only work for the tablets we cut in half. He will not take them if we put capsule medication inside of them (he just bites it and spits out the meds). They are a bit tough to use as they are harder than I anticipated, I use the handle end of a butter knife to push them close. As for the size, if you put a capsule in them they will not close. Would love to see 2 size options like some other brands. I did not have any issues with the quality and texture of them (they were not crumbling apart or smooshed).

These are a far cry from being soft-actually very stiff and very difficult to mold around a pill but of a really good size for a larger meds. I found out that by microwaving them for about 8 to 9 seconds they get soft enough and easier to use. The dog seems to appreciate the taste, though finds them chewy compared to the greenies version so you have to watch closely to make sure they eat the whole thing. They are better priced than the greenies version, which is why I tried them.

Had a dog that doesn't like pills. then this is the product for you. Our American Bullie hates pills, be we can get him to take them when we use these. There texture is very plyable, making it super easy to put the pill. Our pup is very finicky, but he enjoys these, so they must taste good.

SOFT chews?! More like one needs super duper grip strength to put a large pill in these. Seriously, these are HARD. I like that they aren't greasy like the other pill hiders we had been using, but these are like a nut shell. My 13 year old dog is missing part of his jaw due to cancer and 4 other teeth were pulled. He just spits these out. Big disappointment.

Very stale and cracked when trying to pinch the ends

These don’t mould around pills and my dog refused to eat them with or without tablets!

These pill pockets were harder than a rock…you couldn’t even fit the pill into them. Dog had trouble chewing them. Threw them away.
