Try mashing the pill ( mortar and pestle) or plain old hammer and baggy . Put it on a little bit of wet food( your choice) to be sure it is all eaten. My dog cheeks pill and spits out any other way. My hubby' s way is to hold dog firmly between his knees opens lower jaw shoves pill all the way down throat holding jaws closed and massages throat while talking soothingly . The dog HAS to swallow the pill,it then gets kisses hugs and a treat also Good Boy!
