TOMLYN Pill-Masker Original Bacon-Flavored Paste for Dogs & Cats, 4oz

Bought this for my 1 year old cat that was diagnosed with FIP and has 84 days of pills ahead of her. So far we are about 2 weeks in on her medication and I've tried a few different ways to get the 4 pills a day down her. This paste by far has been the best way. And it takes so little of it that I will be able to complete her 84 day regiment on just the 1 jar and will have extra left over. I have a total of 3 cats and 3 dogs so this will not go to waste. And my cat seems to love the taste. If I leave the lid off she will put her little head in and lick the paste until I give her some.

This is the best product I have found for when I need to give one of my cat's pills. I break (if possible) the pill into smaller pieces. Then, I give the cat a bit without the pill. They usually gobble up the pieces will the pills quickly. I will also give my other cat a few pieces at the same time as, you know, cats can get jealous. The paste is not sticky to the fingers and easy to use. One jar will last a long time, and I just purchased a new supply.

So I've been using this product since February. I wanted to give it a long while before reviewing to see if it lived up to its claim of not drying out. It does! This was of primary importance to me since I only use a piece about the size of a BB once a day. Needless to say, one container is going to last me a good while! You may notice that it gets "stiffer" when the ambient temperature is cooler and drier, but if you just massage it between your fingers for a couple of seconds, it gets soft and malleable again. Other products I've used just crumble and are useless. Plus my cat loves it. Highly recommend!

OMG this is like a dream come true! I give pills to my cats and oh my, that's a fight. I always imagining "what if there is something that you can wrap around the pill and also it taste good so they can take the pill without hesitation"? THIS IS IT!!! I am really not sure what's in it, but as long as it doesn't harm the animals and makes them want to eat so they can take the pill. So far everything is so much easier, I just dump the powder or wrap the pill in it, they are there waiting to eat it already. It is soft to form to any shape you need and pets will not have problem eating it. I LOVE IT!

This stuff is made, I'm convinced, of actual magic. I have an incredibly picky dog who also has to have daily medication. It's been a pain trying to figure that out for years. I tried a lot of things--peanut butter, cheese, her dog food, treats, the pill pockets, etc, and every option I ever tried either resulted in her refusing to eat it at all, or being inconsistent on whether she would eat it on a daily basis. I had to throw out meds here and there over the years because the pills would end up disintegrating in the peanut butter or whatever else I was using, before I could get her to eat it because she would let it sit there for hours. It also meant I couldn't be sure she was getting her needed medication every day. And it was a pain whenever I needed to have someone else watch her, because I had to come up with a complicated system of covering the pills and I couldn't do it ahead of time because the pills would disintegrate and she wouldn't eat it, but to ask people to do the system and have her still refuse to eat it was a big pain. Considering her medication is related to severe separation anxiety that has resulted in her injuring herself in the past, it was especially a problem if she wouldn't consistently have her medication when I wasn't around to keep trying when I was home before/after work.Added to all this, I have one of the few dogs that is apparently allergic to chicken(?), so I can't buy her anything with chicken or chicken byproducts in it. Which, if you've ever read ingredients on dog food and treats, is almost everything.Then, one day, I saw the Tomlyn pill-masker at a pet store near me and I figured, what the hell. I'll give it a try. And I'm so glad I did! This stuff is frickin AMAZING! She literally, not once in the 2-3 years I've been using this, has EVER refused to take anything that was wrapped in this. Because it's a substance I can cut/tear pieces off, I can use it to mask any size of item I need. I've offered her chewable tablets for short-term meds for her before that's supposed to be something a dog will eat straight and she won't touch it; I go and put even a super thin layer of the Tomlyn pill masker on it and give it back to her and she eats it immediately. Even the time or two where I made too big of a pill ball for her and she couldn't easily eat it because of teeth issues, if I tear it into smaller pieces she has zero problems eating it. In previous configurations I tried, if she started to eat it and it fell open and she could smell or see the meds inside, she would refuse to eat more of it even if I tried covering the edges with whatever I was using (like peanut butter or etc) -- but with this stuff, the few times she's seen what's inside I just put a bit more of the Tomlyn pill masker over the edge and she had no problems downing it. Also, because of the consistency of this pill masker, it is sooooo easy to bring traveling with her--I can just cut off a chunk, throw it in a baggy or a sealed bottle, and I'm good to go. It also is super easy to explain to people watching her when I'm on vacation; it's really easy to understand that all they have to do is tear off a piece and cover the meds and she'll eat it.I genuinely do not know what I would do without this. I was getting to a point where I was running out of realistic options for giving her medication before I found this. This has made my morning routine with my dog approximately 1000 times faster and simpler and less stressful, as well as those occasions when she has specialty meds from a vet visit (like now, when she had minor surgery and I have to give her pain meds, etc, in addition to her other medication). I honestly feel like by now it would be getting near impossible to deal with her pickiness in trying to give her medication, if it weren't for this product. The biggest issue I have is so few pet stores carry this; it was only the one store where I ever found it, and then they stopped carrying it. I freaked out until I realized I could find it online -- and it's even an add-on item at the moment for Amazon!If you ask me, this product is ridiculously amazing, and it's 100% worth the price. If you have a picky eater of a dog and if you need to make sure you can consistently give them their meds, I really recommend you try this out. If your dog is anything like mine, your only regret will be not having found this sooner.
