Giving Tablets to your Dog
Hold the tablet between your thumb and index finger. If you need to give
multiple tablets, they can be held in the same way, or alternatively, held between your
index and middle fingers.
To open your dog's mouth, rest your left wrist on his head for leverage, and
tilt the head back. Press your thumb and fingers in and upwards on the lips behind the
canine teeth on both sides of his mouth. He shouldn't close his mouth because his lips
will be between his teeth.
Use the free fingers of your right hand to pull downward on your dog's lower
jaw. Then, quickly deposit the tablet over the back of the tongue and push it as far
backwards as possible with your index finger.
Hold your dog's mouth closed for a few moments so he can swallow.
