Greenies Feline Pill Pockets for Cats Natural Soft Cat Treats, Salmon Flavor, 1.6 oz. Pouch (45 Treats)

These pill pocket treats have been wonderful! Our senior cat has gastrointestinal lymphoma and must take medication every other day. She used to allow us to crush it into wet lickable treats, but she will no longer eat those treats, any wet foods, or even straight heavy cream! But she has happily eaten these treats, with her pill tucked inside! It's such a relief to know that she is getting her medication and enjoying the process! Thank you for creating these cat pill pockets!!

This makes pilling my cat sooooo much easier. And since he gets a quarter of a pill, I only use a third of a pocket per dose, so a package lasts three times as long! I roll it into a ball, and Jack begs for his "cookie dough." (It sure beats crushing pills into Delectables Squeeze-ups and is way faster. Easier for cat-sitters, too!)

These things are stinking amazing! My lil female, Zooey, is 15 now & has never liked taking meds. I mean it is WAR! You'd never know she's 76 in human yrs with the fight she puts up & the heights she jumps to get away. Up till now that has never been a huge issue because the times she's needed meds at home have been few & far between, plus only for a few days. Thank God for the antibiotic shot vets use, 1 shot takes the place of 10-14 days of antibiotics administered at home. That has saved us a few times with Zooey & another cat that dod not like meds. Our vet can barely check her teeth cause she refused 2 open her mouth. Now that she is older we have senior bloodwork done at her checkup that is more comprehensive. In geriatric cats, kidneys, liver & the thyroid all need to be monitored, if a problem presents it can escalate quickly. If caught early, a lot of things can be managed well. At her most recent visit we found out she has hyperthyroidism. She has always been petite, 6.3lbs, but maintained her weight w/ out the ravenous overeating that can happen in "hyper" cats. While I assume she's prob always leaned a bit to the side of a hyperthyroid, it's a bigger deal as she ages when kidneys can also start to stress & scent abilities decrease, making food less attractive. This means she could eat less plus on top of her already fast metabolism, weight loss can occur. In such a small cat, she can't afford to lose any weight. Her kidneys can be harmed as well filtering the excess thyroid hormones, along with the liver. My understanding is 50% of 17+ cats die of kidney failure....Anyway, we decided to put her on meds daily to treat the condition after exploring a few options. Another option was a food change to a special food made to decrease thyroid hormone production, prescription food actually, but at 15, she is spoiled & likes what she eats. I doubt she would go for a change. The other 2 options are both surgery, removal of the offending part of the thyroid gland (it's usually 1 side only), or a iodine injection trmt of some type. In an older cat, going under anesthesia can hold it's own dangers. So pills it is 😕 I spent 3 days crushing them (thank goodness they are not time released) & mixing them in fancy feast naturals (great can food 4 anyone looking, the "Naturals" is new) & that got most of it in her, but u never know 4 sure how much they get & she can taste the diff & literally pushes the pieces w/ specks of medication in it pff to the side! Then, while hunting tips online I saw these. I figured long shot, but whatever, I'll try anything. I was actually looking for 1 of those pill shooters & saw these. I gave her 1 last night just 2 see if she'd eat it & it disappeared quick & meows came right after 4 more. This morn that pill was gone so fast. I sat there in awe. If u only knew they things I'd tried in the past 2 get meds in her & how marked up my poor arms becane in the process. She's tiny, but wriggly & because she's small it's hard 2 just toss a pill in her mouth & close it, because she can choke. After getting vet ok, I did try that too though & after massaging her throat for maybe 50 secs....that pill was spit right back at me HA! If she only knew she willingly ate that pill this morning 😀 Thank God someone came up w/ these...i love that they are malleable too. I purchased Salmon since she already had other chicken treats.Edit- a few days after buying these 4 her thyroid meds, Zooey got out of the house for literally 10 mins. We think she ate something or got a toxin on her paws she then licked that made her very sick. All of a sudden after being normal all day, in the evening she stopped eating, was crying & hiding under the bed (odd behaviour for her). We waiting till the next morn & she still wasn't eating, she seemed weak & "puny", not cleaning her fur like normal. We called our vet & they at 1st thought it was a reaction 2 the new meds. We stopped them & they have a short 1\2 life so she should have improved quickly. When she didn't we took her in, she was not doing well & after lots of tests, we had 2 get a lot of meds in a very sick cat. These pill pockets were the only think that got the meds in her & actually for the 1st 2 days, were the only thing she would even eat! They must be pretty tasty!She is thankfully all better now & back 2 herself. Let me mention also that is u have a small pill to give, you can absolutely break the pockets in half & just mold them around the pills. Makes them last a lot longer & not as big 4 the cat.

The size is great for covering pillsGood amount for the price!Giving it 4 stars because My cat unfortunately doesn’t like these as much as the $15 pack but for the price I will be buying again

Absolutely amazing! I didn’t think this would work because my cat usual just eats around the pill but I was so wrong! It works wonders! It is so soft that it kind of sticks to their tongue a little. I just pinched off any excess and gave them another treat to eat after it. Im so impressed! Get it asap!

I’ve been using this to wrap around gelatin capsules that are filled with my cats bitter stinky medication. She loves the chicken flavor and they are easy to work with!

Half of the treats were squished already so they were unusable. Once you pinch the pocket, there’s no opening them up again. The only thing that I ended up using this product for was the “sound of the shake,” to coax my cats into the carrier. You know when you shake a treat bag, all the cats in the world will come to you when they hear that sound.As for the treats themselves…my cats were not even remotely interested…not because of the taste (they like other greenies treats) they just simply prefer crunchy treats, and these squishy like cookie dough.Oh well! Tried using almost all of the salvageable treats in the bag properly, but found them too annoying to be practical. They’re a lot smaller than I thought, so getting medication into the tiny pockets properly was not easy. Waste of money in my case, but not for lack of trying…alas! I can’t return a half empty bag of treats , even if it wasn’t my fault they went to waste.

I think my cat got tired of this flavor so I bought the catnip flavor of the same product and he’s much better about taking his pills now. But for a long time, he was OK with this flavor. I think he just like catnip more.
