As pets age, medication often becomes a necessary part of their care routine, but administering pills can be a challenge.
A great solution is to create DIY pill pouches using ingredients from your pantry, which are not only nutritious but can also disguise the medicine effectively, turning pill time into treat time.
These homemade treats, suitable for both dogs and cats, are made with ingredients like oats, pumpkin, Greek yogurt, turmeric, bone broth, and gelatin, providing your pet with a healthy snack while ensuring they take their medication.
To make the pill pouches, simply grind oats into a powder, mix with the other ingredients, and refrigerate the mixture to firm it up. Once ready, scoop out small balls, roll them in oats, and either use them as treats or hide pills inside.
The treats can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for longer shelf life, making them an easy and effective solution for administering medications to senior pets or picky eaters.
Chewy editorial team also shared an educational video to guide pet parents through the process, making it easier to create these pill pouches at home for both of your cats and dogs.
By turning medication time into a special moment, you can help ensure your senior pet stays on track with their health, all while enjoying a tasty treat.
With the right tools, patience, and love, giving your pet their medication becomes just another part of the bonding experience.
