Cat Pill Shooter, Pet Pill Dispenser with 2 Silicone Tips, Medicine Pill Pusher for Cats, Puppies and Small Animals

So easy to use! I wish I'd found a tool like this years ago. It is easy to load, holds pills securely, and deposits them easily to the back of the tongue.

OMG I love this thing! Unlike other pill shooters that have loops you need to put your fingers in, this one is easy to hold, and you can adjust your grip as your cat snakes its head back and forth in a futile attempt to escape your tender care.Seriously, I'd give this 10 stars if I could. I have three senior cats who need meds every day, and without this, I'd be struggling.PS: If, like me, you have cats that need multiple meds, get some pill capsules and stick all of the meds in them. This thing will hold the capsules with no problem.

Many of us know that administering pills by hand to a cat can be tricky and stressful. We have a senior cat at home that takes meds daily. We tried the manual method and quickly realized it was not going to work. We bought this pill dispenser hoping it would work. It did! We give our cat her meds every morning without issues. The dispenser releases the pills quietly, quickly and painlessly. By the time our cat realizes something is happening, the pill is down her throat. The handle fits in one's hand comfortably. Practical. Easy to clean and store. Using it takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! We cannot imagine not having this dispenser every day. Recommend.

Edit: I have changed my review from 3 stars to 4. Their customer service is exceptional! After reading my review, they reached out and I was offered a full refund, even though it was past my return period. But I’ve decided to keep the product because I know our small local shelter can always use these kinds of supplies, and I still think it’s a good product even if it’s not “for me”. So if you’re on the fence about trying it, I’d say go for it. If it’s not ‘for you’ either, at least you have the peace of mind that you can return it for a full refund. Or you can donate it to a rescue shelter.I have an 18 year old cat with multiple health issues that require giving him five pills, twice a day. Some are tiny and some are kind of huge. So I bought this tool in hope of reducing his stress during medicine time. But sadly, it actually made pill time even more stressful.Pros: I do like how the silicone tip is soft and won’t scratch the soft pallet and is easy on the teeth if the cat tends to try and bite down on it. It also does hold regular-sized pills well. It would probably work well for any small pets that take normal, whole pills. The trigger is also responsive and releases normal size/shape pills easily.Cons: My cat takes varying sized pills, with some cut in 1/4 pieces and the cut pills do not stay in the silicone tip properly, plus they tend to not dispense when the trigger is pressed if the pill is cut. The tool is also very awkward to hold with a squirming cat trying to get away. It may work better if one person is holding the cat still while the other uses the tool.Sadly, I’ve just gone back to giving his medication by hand. As long as you keep your fingernails trimmed very short (and your cat’s claws trimmed) it’s actually kind of easy to give them pills once you find the ‘secret’ combo position that works for both you and the cat. I use this method:With my left hand (I’m right handed), I hold the back of my cat’s head by his neck for stability.With my left thumb, I lift his chin so he’s looking up toward the ceiling.Holding the pill with my thumb and index finger of my right hand, I use my right middle finger to wedge open his mouth at the back corner.With his mouth open, and him looking up, I drop the pill at the back of his throat.Close his mouth, gently massage his throat to trigger his swallow reflex, then repeat.

If you have a cat that is extra difficult to give pills to, do not get one of these.I read the reviews before buying it myself and thought "it can't be all that bad". BZZZZ....wrong! It can be and it is. It does not shoot the pill to the back of the cat's tongue where it is easy to get them to swallow it. All it does is drop the pill gently out the end of it. If you don't have the end of the pill pusher all the way in the back of kitty's mouth, then that pill is going nowhere except out and onto the floor.I tried using this item and finally gave up. I went back to our old one, which is 100% better, even if it is 10 years old and showing its age.Don't waste your money.P.S. I tried giving this a zero stars review, it wouldn't let me. You have to give it at least one star. It's not worth even one.

This pill popper works very well . It’s easier than doing it by hand. I’ve had other ones but I really like this one. if you’re not able to crush the medicine up and put it in your cat food cause some cats won’t eat it. This is a good way to administer the medicine. The way I administered the medicine is had the cats face facing the ceiling pop the medicine down the throat quickly, and usually the cat will stick his tongue out and lick once and you know that he swallowed his pill . It should only take a couple seconds. Then of course give them a treat afterwards like a churu . I would highly recommend this product.

It's so hard to pull my cat. I was hoping this could help get his pills past his tongue without a fight, but the pill is too small and just falls out before I even push the plunger. Oh well. It was worth a try

Product is as advertised, but it didn’t help me dispense meds to my cat. She figured it out before I did.
