Cat Pill Hiding Treats

Cat Pill Hiding Treats

Not every kitty takes their pills easily – for some owners, they have to get a bit more creative to ensure their feline gets their full dose. Fortunately, Tractor Supply carries a delicious range of cat pill-hiding treats that make the task easier. Find them in our lineup of cat essentials to help them live their best Life Out Here.

Get Them Excited to Take Their Medication

Sometimes referred to as pill pockets, pill-hiding treats are typically soft and have a hole in the center. This allows cat parents to simply insert the pill, enclose the treat around it and feed it to their feline. Like with any new treat, your cat may be hesitant or curious at first and may even try to play with it. However, once their tastebuds land on the cat-friendly flavors, they should consume the whole thing – including the pill – in no time.

Ideal for Daily or Occasional Use

Whether your kitties take a daily medication or are recovering from a recent surgery, you can enjoy peace of mind that pill-hiding treats are safe to use for every dose. With clear nutritional information on the label, you can ensure the pill pocket won’t interfere with any other dietary concerns your cat might have.

Flavors That Felines Adore

Your cats are sure to fall in love with the flavors in our selection, whether they’re a fan of chicken and turkey or prefer fish or cheese. It helps to have a variety of flavors on hand, as some kitties can get bored with the same flavor over and over again – and if that’s the case, administering their meds can become more challenging.

FAQs About Cat Pill Hiding Treats

Should I cut or crush my cat’s pills before putting them in the treat?

It depends on the specific medication, so you should check with your veterinarian before cutting or crushing any medications. This is because some prescriptions and other medications are only effective or safe to consume when encapsulated in pill form. Administering them incorrectly can also result in side effects, such as an upset stomach.

What kinds of medications can I use a pill-hiding treat for?

As long as the pill fits inside the treat, you’re good to go. Some of the most common medications that cats take in pill form include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics, antihistamines and anti-diarrhea agents.

What are some alternatives to cat pill pockets?

If your kitty prefers something different, some cat owners have success with freeze-dried raw food and treats, which have a unique texture and mirror human-grade meals. You can also try tuna, whipped cream or cheese sprays to conceal their pill and encourage them to swallow it.
