I've always try to wrap a small piece of bread around the pill, but doesn't work 100% of the time. Sometimes my dog will scrape the bread off and spit out the pill
Pate is good for hiding tablets in. We used to make a little ball out of the pate and the dog would just swallow it down in one go - it didnt even touch the sides.
We would rattle her tablets and she would be in the kitchen in a flash - pate time !!
