We have also tried just throwing the pill in with the dog food and that worked with some of our dogs. You have to watch and make sure the dog eats it, though.

Except that Tal said peanut butter gives Sport digestive problems. We had a beagle once that we nursed through a dire illness. My mother took the pills and burried them in little meatballs of raw hamburger. She gently shoved them down his throat, and I think the smoothness of the ground meat made everything go down easily without choking him.
