Vet's Advice:
Ways to administer worming medicine:
If you find your dog or cat does not react well to a specific worming method, keep trying alternatives until you find one they like.
There are also a few tricks which may help:

• Crushing the tablet and mixing it with food
• Disguising the medicine in a treat
• Using a pill giver
• Following the treatment with a treat (such as a piece of meat) to encourage the dog or cat to swallow

Puppies & kittens should be trained from an early age to be comfortable with swallowing tablets. You can train your pet by using vitamin tablets with treats inside or use specific treats designed to aid in the administration of tablets.
