To make giving your pet pills easier, dissolve the pill in water and use a medical syringe (a plunger with measurements on it) to squirt in their mouth.

This is a TERRIBLE way to give a pill to a pet!
Giving them pills is so very easy if you just use the right method.
I take the pill (if it's a large one I use a pill splitter and cut it up small) and a bite-size piece of their favorite people food. People food is always a special treat for pets since they only very rarely get it. I use either cheese or meat (cooked preferrably or raw). I "smish" the pill into the cheese or meat and just offer it to them. They gobble it right up, pill and all.
If it's a capsule and they do manage to keep spitting it back out while still eating the treat, I simply open up the capsule and sprinkle it into another piece of treat and "mish" it all together. No spitting out this time! If they've figured the trick out and refuse to eat it the second time around, just put it in the frige for 10 minutes and offer it again. They'll have forgotten it by this time and will definitely gobble it down.
