Giving Your Cairn Terrier a Pill
Sometimes getting a dog to take a pill can be a difficult task. However, I found a way that works great with my Cairn Terriers.
I simply take a small slice of cream cheese and cut it into small portions. Then I put the pill into the cream cheese and hand it to my cairn Terriers and say "Pill?".
It works every time. They do not get cream cheese very often. So when they do get cream cheese in the form of a pill, they will always eat it eagerly. In this way, there is no difficulty in getting my Cairn Terriers to take a pill but I do have to be sure that they indeed swallow it or that one of them doesn’t try to take it from the other. They just love those pills!
If your dog does not like cream cheese, find something that he does love. It works every time (even when they are not feeling well) provided I don't make cream cheese part of their routine treats. I have tried Velvetta cheese and hot dog bits too. The work well, but my Cairn Terriers love cream cheese the best.

Great tip! It works like a charm. I love your website, btw, and it's in my favorites file. I visit you a couple times a week to see what your Cairns are up to. We have two Cairns as well, and can certainly relate to much of what you have written.

My cairn loves her pill with peanut butter! I never have to check for the pill. I know it's in her belly with all that tasty peanut butter.

The site looks great. I have had difficulty finding a good site on Cairns. My Cairn will be 2 in October.
