Giving Tablets to your Dog


  1. dogpill1 (1K) 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.
  2. dogpill2 (4K) 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.
  3. dogpill3 (5K) 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.
  4. dogpill4 (3K) Hold your dog's mouth closed for a few moments so he can swallow.
