"We started using these because Blythe needs to take meds so often.  These things ARE the greatest thing since sliced bread.  They do not need refrigeration if sealed (and not left in hot car, etc.  Not only will dogs take the pills, but if you show folks are looking for a high level bait for that picky show dog, consider a Pill Pocket as bait.  Amazing."

Hold the Pill Pocket with thumb and forefinger. Insert the pill. Using the other hand, squeeze the top of the Pill Pocket. The Pill Pocket is now sealed. Feed to your pet.
