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

I have tried everything to give my cat going through chemo her pills. And I mean ev-er-y-thiiinnnggg!!! I tried this as a last ditch effort fully thinking it would never work. Well, I should have tried it from the very beginning. It’s the ONLY thing that works and she gobbles it right up. She used to somehow find the pills in pill pockets and eat around them or spit them out. Same with Churu, cottage cheese, yougurt, etc. I even balled up tuna and she’d still find the pills. This pill masker is perfection. Grab a pinch, put the pill on top and make a little ball with the pill in the middle. Watch your kitty eat it right up! Buy this now. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

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.

My cat loves this and gobbles up her pill. I like it better than the pill pockets because you take out as much as you need. my cat's pills are tiny so I only need a little paste and the jar lasts me a long time. Easy to use.

Amazon STILL has not delivered it! The 1 star is for Amazon. The pill wrap is a 5 star. I ordered it on Thursday. It was suppose to be delivered Friday morning. It’s now Sunday and it’s still not here! Why do I pay for prime for service like this? Had to get pill wrap from my vet on Friday and today I’ll go a locally owned pet store and get my dogs some chews. None of this is the sellers fault. It’s all on Amazon’s delivery. I’m finding their “overnight or next day” delivery is becoming 2 day delivery more and more. I use this pill wrap all the time. I like it a lot and highly recommend it. But have a backup plan if ordering from Amazon.

I’m convinced my Chihuahua could teach a masterclass on how to detect medication hidden in food. Over the years I’ve tried what feels like every trick known to humankind: cheese, peanut butter, hot dogs, pill pockets, deli meat, crushing pills, hiding them in wet food, bribery, bargaining, dramatic sighing, and even pretending to eat the treat myself like it’s some kind of culinary treasure. My dog spotted every single attempt like a tiny four-legged detective and would surgically remove the pill from whatever I hid it in. Then I found Tomlyn Pill-Masker. I rolled a small ball, tucked the pill inside, and braced myself for the usual suspicious sniff and rejection. Instead, my dog inhaled it like it was the greatest delicacy ever created. No hesitation, no pill excavation, no dramatic spit-out across the room. Just gone. I honestly don’t know what wizardry is in this paste, but it works. The texture is perfect for molding around pills, it sticks well, and apparently the flavor passes the very strict Chihuahua taste test. If you have a stubborn, suspicious, or theatrically picky dog who treats medication time like a battle of wills, this stuff might save your sanity. It certainly saved mine. Medication time in my house went from a daily strategic operation to a 5-second non-event. Whoever invented this deserves a medal.

The product is a thick paste so you can wrap around a pill and feed to your cat or dog. I put the paste on a small pill to see if my cat would eat it, but he ate around the food and left the pill. So, I had to do it the old fashion way by opening up his mouth and putting in back of throat. I tried it on a couple of other cats, and they refused it also. Then I tried on the dogs. One dog liked it, but the other refused. Could not return because it was opened.

Technically worked the way it's supposed to, however my cat doesn't like chewy treats so she refused to eat it.

My picky-eater cat likes pork fat base for the wet food, so I decided to try this, in addition to the Pill Pocket. After she rejected the Pill Pocket once I put a pill inside it, I spent three days getting her to try and learn the smell and flavor of this Pill Masker without any pills, wrapping a small piece of kibbles instead. She now knows the bacon smell and the flavor of this, and eats it with a pill voluntarily, which is a miracle. A little on an oily side, but it spreads nicely on the finger and it is easy to wrap a pill without cracking with a thin coating. It is worth trying if your cat is picky and more into junky (savory) food. It has a stronger salt flavor than the Pill Pocket.

Our dog is the worst for taking tablets. We had tried everything, he soon became wise to our methods.This product hides the taɓlets and maskes the smell.Now giving the dog his medication is a breeze.

My cat stopped eating Greenies pill pockets after a bout of pancreatitis so we tried this instead. It stinks but he loves it! No more fighting with pills he eats them happily with no problem.

Easy and mess free. My cat gobbled his encased tablet and looked for more. Fantastic solution and alternative to blood transfusions from him shredding me!

My dog loves this stuff. He is on meds morning and night, he never hesitates to take them. It's nice that you can select how much you need to use.

Having read the reviews I thought my cat will eat this to take her pills… oh how I was wrong. She sniffed it and turned her back and walked away. One fussy and expensive cat. £32 of putty that will never get eaten 😩
