Feline Greenies Pill Pockets Cat Treats, Salmon, 45 Treats, 1.6 Oz. (Pack Of 6)

Had to give our cat some tablets recently for a while & before these pockets it was a complete nightmare - he just spat them out & when I tried mixing with food he worked his way around them - typical cat! (He's not the sort of cat you can hold & put the tablet just in his mouth & work it down - believe me) He ate these pockets as treats happily & then I put a dry treat in each, so that he would get used to that texture, & I also add a few dry treats to the serving as well so he doesn't dwell on the texture. I then putting half tablet in each pocket - still with other dry treats around he wolfs them down - massive relief! They are a bit pricey but I think worth every penny.

I have 3 cats and it is really stressful trying to give them worming pills! I was dubious about buying these because of previous reviews but they are amazing! My cats were unsure at first but after trying a few without the pill they got used to in them and enjoyed them. Real game changer and a must have for any pet owner

Our car didn't like these at all. I added a dreamy to it and she ate it. 1 minute later and she was foaming at the mouth. The ones from Royal Canin are much better and she eats those without any fuss.

So the first pack we ordered was great, and a godsend for our cat that had seemingly decided he no longer wanted to take his medication one day. The 'holders' all came in good shape and allowed us to pop a pill in and close it up. The second pack we ordered however, came all squished and in pieces so they're pretty useless to be honest, which is a real shame. We'll keep ordering as they're the only thing that's worked with our cat however worth taking a look at the treats in the pack as soon as you get them, in case you get a bag of squished ones!Worth also noting that these contain sugar so are likely to make your cat a little hyper. Considering we're using them to give calming tablets to an elderly cat, it's not ideal that these are being counter-acted by the sugar in the chew. We've stopped using them as it's pointless

For us these are a game changer!I have 9kg ginger maine coon who can be very "spicy" while grooming etc.Getting tablets in to him is even harder, until now!No more wrapping him in a towel, no more spitting it out, no more growling, no more teeth or claws, just a headbutt for the treat.Fantastic

Positives: I bought this for the first time to especially administer cat medicinal tablets. The concept is really good. It worked with one of my cats but not the other one who just turned his nose away from them (even though I'd followed the instructions on the packet).Negatives: I was disappointed that a lot of the treats in the packet were broken up, so they didn't have the hole in the middle to place the tablet into. I had to mould the broken pieces together to make a makeshift one!

Like most cat owners I dread having to give either of my two cats any tablets. They are both rather less than co-operative when it comes to matters medical. I thought I'd got it off pat with crushing the tablet between two teaspoons and mixing it with a little of their favourite Gourmet cat food, or Lik-e-lix, and this has worked well in the past. But for some reason this time this particular cat was having none of it with his two lots of antibiotics twice a day. Several tablets ended up in the bin because he'd take one lick and then walk off never to touch the plate again, prompting costly repurchase of more tablets and a worrying gap in his antibiotic course. In desperation (he was quite ill and I needed to get the tablets in him!) I ordered these Pill Pockets with Amazon prime on account of the fact they'd be here the next day. He seemed to take a liking to them and wolfed the Pill Pocket down complete with tablet, even crunching the tablet or capsule inside without batting an eyelid! What a relief!Now...these Pill Pockets are very small. I recall one reviewer saying that you could get three tablets in one pocket, but if they're normal sized tablets or capsules that isn't my experience (particularly with the capsules), definitely only one at a time. The Pill Pockets are very squidgy so after popping the tablet into the pocket, with half of it still sticking out, I moulded the Pill Pocket around the tablet so that it covered it completely before giving it to my cat. Your mileage may vary with whether or not your cat will like the Pill Pockets - I pretended that they were treats, so I also had to give the other cat an empty Pill Pocket each time I dosed the ill cat, making sure the correct "treat" went to the correct cat! Their normal treats tend to be crunchy on the outside and squidgy in the middle, so perhaps the similarity (albeit reversed) helped to fool him. Their tastes may change again, but I'm happy I've got an additional weapon in my pill popping armoury.However, these Pill Pockets on Amazon UK are ridiculously expensive. You can get them for less than five pounds, including postage from the US, elsewhere online. But, that said, I needed them the next day so I was prepared to pay the high cost to get them delivered within 24 hours. If you're uncertain whether or not your cat will take to the Pill Pockets, perhaps order them elsewhere before it's urgent and test them with, say, a worming tablet, saving the expensive but next-day delivery Amazon reliability for when your cat is unexpectedly ill and needs a fresh packet. The packet is resealable, but I'm not sure what their shelf-life is once the packet has been opened.

A bit pricey and ultimately ended up untouched on the shelf. The first time I tried giving a couple of these to my cat with the pills inside she took a while to eat them, not very interested at first but eventually she took them. I thought at that point I might be on to a winner making it easier to give her the pills prescribed but she has turned them down every time I have tried afterwards. She sniffs them and walks away, doesn’t even bother trying them. She’s not usually a picky eater but clearly doesn’t like these unfortunately. If they were cheaper it would be OK just to try them but I think they’re pricey for what they are and even more so if your cat doesn’t take to them. Good idea but didn’t work for me and my cat.
