Dogs & pills....

Grab the muzzle on both sides at the lips and squeeze up/in - the mouth should open...some dogs clamp hard, but you can usually get it to work (except that this is hard with a no-muzzle dog like a Pekingese - fortunately, she was a greedy little girl). My GSD liked to chew while I was doing the squeeze, so watch your fingers.

Sadly, I'm having to do this with our new rescue, Cara. She has pneumonia (secondary infection from the kennel cough she came down with the night after we brought her home). She's a sick baby right now...and at least one of the other dogs (Thor) now has kennel cough. :-(
