Cat Pill Givers

We love our cats, but when they get ill they sometimes aren't the most cooperative. When it comes to taking their medicine, you need every bit of help you can get. That's where knowing how to get a cat to take a pill comes into play.

There are a few key options for giving your cat their pills. For some, crushing the pill and mixing it into wet cat food can help get the dose down, but others may turn their nose up at this. Wrapping the pill with a cat treat can work wonders for these picky types, helping turn their treatment into an exciting part of their daily life.

To help you decide, we've broken down the various kinds of pill givers we stock to help you learn how to give a tablet to a cat. Before using any of these items, make sure to speak with your veterinarian to ensure this is safe to do with the prescription. And, while you're at it, remember that we can send you the medication too with our collection of online prescriptions - all we need is the paperwork to get started!

When it comes to giving a cat a pill, the best way to give it is as it comes out of the packet. This can make giving any cat their prescriptions a tricky thing. One of the most direct methods is with a pill giver for cats, which is effectively a cat tablet syringe. To use it, you place the pill inside before administering it to the back of their mouth.

This is a quick and simple way to get most cats to take their medications, but if you're unsure you can always ask your vet for a demonstration.

When it comes to giving your cat a pill, including a treat helps to sweeten the deal. We stock a few options to hide tablets inside of a treat, moulding a tasty snack around what could otherwise be a bitter pill to swallow. Plus, the good ones come with a few extra vitamins for your feline, adding another healthy boost.

Cats are smart. So much so that you can try to disguise their pills as treats and they'll turn their nose up, or even learn to run when you get the pill giver out. What can you do then? Sometimes the best way of giving a cat a tablet is to crush it and mix it in with their regular food. Add some extra treats on top and most cats just won't notice it.
