Methods that can be used to give medicine to dogs
1. Common method: For comparison For obedient dogs, the pet owner can usually order the dog to sit down, then open the dog’s jaw with one hand, and place the tablet as close to the base of the dog’s tongue as possible with the other hand, and then quickly close its mouth. , and then gently lift the dog’s head up slightly, while the other free hand strokes down its neck to encourage it to swallow the medicine. After a while, release the hand. Seeing the dog spit out the medicine and lick its lips, it means that the dog has swallowed the tablet. At this time, the pet owner can praise it and give it some rewards. But beware of pets: some dogs are smart enough to hide in their mouths and spit them out when you walk away. So every time you give your dog medicine, it’s best to wait a while to see if it spit up the medicine.
2. Compulsory law: If the dog really refuses to take medicine, compulsory feeding is also a way.
