Feline Pill Pockets for Cats Natural Soft Cat Treats, Catnip Flavor, 1.6 oz. Pouch (45 Treats)

Perfect for giving my cat his twice daily hyperthyroid meds. This has a consistency of a soft dough. I just tear a piece in half and mold it around the pill. Definitely a game changer for me.

My cats went nuts for these. Scarfed their pills down like they were the best treats ever. Followed me with the bag wanting more. I've never seen them want a treat so bad that they didn't even notice the pills. Definitely worth the money and I will be buying them again. Now so far I have only tried smaller pills. I have since purchased joint supplements that they won't touch that are a bit big but I may try putting two of these over them and seeing if that works, the way it did for the small pills.

These are amazing for putting pills in for my cats whenever they need them. I was so scared when my vet told me to give my cat oral meds: have you ever met a cat who wants to take a pill (or do anything else you want them to)? When they told me about pill pockets, I looked them up and ordered them right away. I’ve reordered when my cats have needed more prescriptions. I’ve also recommended to my other cat- mom friends. Makes pills super easy for cats! They take them no problem. Sometimes I’ll even break the treat in half and give it that way, for my diabetic cat. The pills are very malleable and easy to form around the pill. I highly recommend for cat moms who need to give pills! They will eventually get moldy if you keep them for years like I did the first time! But that’s reasonable.

I use these to give medicine to my cat, and they work surprisingly well. He’s pretty picky, but the salmon smell gets his attention and he usually eats it without noticing the pill inside. The only downside is that the pockets can crumble a little if I press too hard when wrapping the pill. Not a deal-breaker, but something to be gentle with. Overall, it makes pill time much easier, and I’d buy them again.

These things are stinking amazing! My lil female, Zooey, is 15 now & has never liked taking meds. I mean it is WAR! You'd never know she's 76 in human yrs with the fight she puts up & the heights she jumps to get away. Up till now that has never been a huge issue because the times she's needed meds at home have been few & far between, plus only for a few days. Thank God for the antibiotic shot vets use, 1 shot takes the place of 10-14 days of antibiotics administered at home. That has saved us a few times with Zooey & another cat that dod not like meds. Our vet can barely check her teeth cause she refused 2 open her mouth. Now that she is older we have senior bloodwork done at her checkup that is more comprehensive. In geriatric cats, kidneys, liver & the thyroid all need to be monitored, if a problem presents it can escalate quickly. If caught early, a lot of things can be managed well. At her most recent visit we found out she has hyperthyroidism. She has always been petite, 6.3lbs, but maintained her weight w/ out the ravenous overeating that can happen in "hyper" cats. While I assume she's prob always leaned a bit to the side of a hyperthyroid, it's a bigger deal as she ages when kidneys can also start to stress & scent abilities decrease, making food less attractive. This means she could eat less plus on top of her already fast metabolism, weight loss can occur. In such a small cat, she can't afford to lose any weight. Her kidneys can be harmed as well filtering the excess thyroid hormones, along with the liver. My understanding is 50% of 17+ cats die of kidney failure.... Anyway, we decided to put her on meds daily to treat the condition after exploring a few options. Another option was a food change to a special food made to decrease thyroid hormone production, prescription food actually, but at 15, she is spoiled & likes what she eats. I doubt she would go for a change. The other 2 options are both surgery, removal of the offending part of the thyroid gland (it's usually 1 side only), or a iodine injection trmt of some type. In an older cat, going under anesthesia can hold it's own dangers. So pills it is 😕 I spent 3 days crushing them (thank goodness they are not time released) & mixing them in fancy feast naturals (great can food 4 anyone looking, the "Naturals" is new) & that got most of it in her, but u never know 4 sure how much they get & she can taste the diff & literally pushes the pieces w/ specks of medication in it pff to the side! Then, while hunting tips online I saw these. I figured long shot, but whatever, I'll try anything. I was actually looking for 1 of those pill shooters & saw these. I gave her 1 last night just 2 see if she'd eat it & it disappeared quick & meows came right after 4 more. This morn that pill was gone so fast. I sat there in awe. If u only knew they things I'd tried in the past 2 get meds in her & how marked up my poor arms becane in the process. She's tiny, but wriggly & because she's small it's hard 2 just toss a pill in her mouth & close it, because she can choke. After getting vet ok, I did try that too though & after massaging her throat for maybe 50 secs....that pill was spit right back at me HA! If she only knew she willingly ate that pill this morning 😀 Thank God someone came up w/ these...i love that they are malleable too. I purchased Salmon since she already had other chicken treats. Edit- a few days after buying these 4 her thyroid meds, Zooey got out of the house for literally 10 mins. We think she ate something or got a toxin on her paws she then licked that made her very sick. All of a sudden after being normal all day, in the evening she stopped eating, was crying & hiding under the bed (odd behaviour for her). We waiting till the next morn & she still wasn't eating, she seemed weak & "puny", not cleaning her fur like normal. We called our vet & they at 1st thought it was a reaction 2 the new meds. We stopped them & they have a short 1\2 life so she should have improved quickly. When she didn't we took her in, she was not doing well & after lots of tests, we had 2 get a lot of meds in a very sick cat. These pill pockets were the only think that got the meds in her & actually for the 1st 2 days, were the only thing she would even eat! They must be pretty tasty! She is thankfully all better now & back 2 herself. Let me mention also that is u have a small pill to give, you can absolutely break the pockets in half & just mold them around the pills. Makes them last a lot longer & not as big 4 the cat.

What a lifesaver this invention is. My elderly cat is on prozac because she is stressed out from my other cats that bully her. She's very hard to handle and does not like to be picked up. It's very difficult giving her medication but these genius treats work wonders. I pop the little pill in the center and squish it together and she eats it no problem. She can be a little finicky some days and smell it and walk away, but I'm able to smush something into it like a little piece of tuna, and she'll gobble it up.

a mis gatos no les gusto el sabor y no quisieron probarlos. les intente dar solo primero sin medicina para ver si comían y no lo hicieron. lo que hice que me funciono es mezclar su comida humeda con 3 de estas gomistas una sola con ma medicación y dárselo cuando tenia hambre . a mis gatos les encanta el salmon y atún y todas las golosonas pero esto no funciono x si solo

Every cat owner knows the absolute chaos of trying to give a cat a pill! When one of my cats is sick and requires medication, I am usually begging the vet to just give them a shot. When they say that there isn't a shot that will work in this case and I'm going to have to give my cat a pill at home, a sense of dread fills me. I usually have to change into something with long, thick sleeves to prevent getting scratched and prevent getting my shirt ripped or torn with nail holes. You know how it goes if you have a cat! One of our vets recommended these pill pockets and... OH WOW!!! TALK ABOUT A GAME CHANGER!!! Each treat has a little opening in the top to push the pill inside, and then you can squeeze the top closed over the pill. Pros: Super easy to use Resealable bag so the treats don't dry out Different flavors so my cats don't get tired of the same flavor I can add these to my monthly subscribe-and-save order so I never run out Cons: Not all of my cats will eat treats, but that's not a flaw of the product but just typical of a multi-cat household! Just like with people, we all have different tastes and preferences, and cats are no different. I had one cat who was super smart, and she would figure out that her pill was inside, so she would nibble the outside and eat down to the pill. She was a character like that! PRO TIP: Don't just give these to your cat just when they are sick but give them these treats occasionally here and there so your cat doesn't just associate the treats with being sick and getting medication. Also, just like with any other soft treat, they will dry out over time if not eaten so many months after opening, so this is another reason to give your cats the occasional treats even if they aren't sick. BOTTOM LINE: These are a life saver (and saves my arms from scratches and my shirts from claw holes). I always keep some on hand for whatever cat emergency pops up. I also keep different flavors on my subscribe-and-save so I can alternate flavors to give my cats some variety. LOVE THESE!!!
