As my paco man ages he takes more and more pills. Also as he ages he gets more particular about how he will take his pills. I had a backup bag of pill pockets and had to use it more and more. I then had to buy a backup bag and that next one wasnt as fresh and harder to work with. We were getting to the point where i needed 4 a day – he takes some beefy pills.
Iordered one more bag of milk bone style and as i was waiting i thought…. i make all kinds of things for myself and the pups, why not pill pockets. I looked it up and found this recipe. The regular recipe suggested it could make 8 pill pockets. Maybe for pups that only take 1 small pill. I quadrupled the recipe, and don’t premake the pill pockets, just take out what we need at the time.
The recipe indicates only lasting 3-4 days. We have left it in the fridge for a couple weeks and had no problem!
Who would have thought, just peanut butter and oat flour.
DIY Pill Pocket
