Pill Pockets work well for my dog...but my cat sees right through them. I have to grind up the pill and put it in canned tuna for him to take any meds. He's on Methimazole for hyperthyroidism for the rest of his life.
As a side note, I had my Golden on Benadryl to try to keep his ears dry enough so he wouldn't get so many ear infections. When we upped his dosage of Tramadol for his arthritis last fall, his skin became very flaky. I cut out the Benadryl, the flakiness cleared up, and he hasn't had a single ear infection since. If I had known that would be a side benefit, I would have doped him up years ago!
