How smart are they?

Luke has to take thyroid meds 2xday. After he gets his pill he gets a treat. After a week of this he now drops his pill on the floor, eats his treat, licks up the pill and waits for a second treat :D He only does this in the morning and never for his night dose. I can't believe Rosco the treat hound hasn't figured this out yet as he takes the same meds :lol:

Lucy has held pills in her mouth for up to 30 minutes before spitting them out. I'll find them all soggy and coming apart way after I try to give it to her. Obviously the bad taste isn't what makes her spit it out because she keeps it in her mouth for a long time. The only thing I can figure out is that she knows the pill comes wrapped in cheese every time she gets it...
:lol: Sometimes I think they are smarter than we are. If treats are involved they always find a way to beat the system...not much of a system since the treats flow pretty freely at my house.
Our first sheepdog Prince adored his heartworm medicine.
Back then, it was a capsule not a chewable tab.
We followed the vets instructions to a t, placed the
capsule in the side of his mouth,closed his mouth
and gently held the mouth closed while stroking under the chin.

His eyes would get big as saucers, then a big swallow-success!

As we stepped away, the capsule now a speeding rocket
would fly by us and hit the wall.

We tried everything to hide that capsule, but our clever
guy would find it everytime!

I am so grateful for chewable tablets !!!!!!!!! :D
:lol: :lol: :lol: I rest my case.
