Giving a pil to Medjai is more like the cat than the dog. He finds it and spits it out. If I even coat in pb, he licks it off then spits out the pill.
Heartworm meds are hard to give because i can't afford to just go through 4 or 5 trying to get them in.

Ours used to pretend to swallow them, then later you would find them in his crate.

I can't tell you how many pills I've wasted trying to get Senji to take his pills. Even when I hide them in a ball of ground up meat and mix it in with his food, he SMELLS the pill in there and eats everything around it, but leaves the balls with the pills in them. Sometimes I make a few "decoy" balls to try to fool him, but he knows the difference.
