excellent product
Date: January 24, 2009
"I wish I had this years ago. The length of stress was cut 10 fold. "Fang" had worms. He is big therefore, he had to take 2, yes, 2 pills. After my husband got clawed big time, no stitches, but darn close, (God only knows where that pill went and weeks later found the 2nd pill on the floor.), I went to petco to get the pill dispenser, since 'Fang' was still alive. They were on sale so I bought 2, 1 for 'Fang' and 1 for his cousin. Got another set of pills and down 'Fang's' throat the pills went. Both of them in less then 5 minutes. I highly recommend this product if you have a 'Fang' especially if your baby is big and needs to take a 2nd dose. Good Luck!!

Great Product!
Date: October 7, 2008
"I've got to give a pill to one of my cats EVERY day! It's important that he get this medicine yet it took everything in my power to get that pill down. Even when there were times I thought I'd given him his medicine, I'd find it lying on the kitchen floor. He'd wait minutes and then spit it out when I wasn't looking. Well, NOT anymore! This pill dispenser works like a dream. It allows you to put the pill way back on the cat's tongue without getting your fingers bitten. That pill goes down every time and the cat doesn't even know what hit him! Wonderful product and you will be so glad you got this. Saves stress on you and the cat."

Works great!
Date: April 20, 2008
"I definitely recommend this product. I had a horrible time trying to give my cat pill vitamins/medications. This product works great, is easy to use, and easy to clean. It makes sure the pill gets past the pet's tongue, and into their throat, so they can swallow without leaving the medicine taste on their tongue. The pet is much calmer with this method than trying to get my fingers with the pill down their throat, so it is a lot less stressful for everyone involved."

This works
Date: July 8, 2007
"I tried this product as a last resort. It was originally recommended by a vet expert that suggested using it, but I tried pill pockets instead. Pill pockets work fine for a week, but by day 7 the cat bit into the capsule, caught on and refused the the pill pocket. I couldn't waste anymore medicine stuffing it in food she refused to eat, and I still have 14 more days to go.
I made sure I read the directions carefully, I read other suggestions on how to administer giving a tablet to a cat, and I even did a few practice sessions without a cat to make sure it would work. My other cat allowed me to use her for practice on the "opening the mouth" technique.
The advice I would offer would be to administer when the cat is ready to sleep or nap, as they are not as aggressive when they are tired. The towel technique doesn't work for us, it actually makes mine more aggressive, but I can subdue the cat when she's sleepy. And when you get the mouth open, do it quick and tilt the head up and keep the mouth closed with your hand underneath the cat's jaw for about 10 -15 seconds so the cat won't spit the pill out. Be confident and swift.
My cat rates the experience as good, because she doesn't want the pill at all, but it was the most humane way for medicate an animal instead of making them starve trying for force them to eat or taking the risk another cat will scarf down the uneaten food. I also give lots of treats as a reward immediately after the dose. My cat actually purred about 2 minutes later.
Another note, since I was giving the cat capsules, the dose was rather large, and it made the whole thing even more dramatic since I couldn't hide it into any food. The dispenser was large enough to accomodate the capsule and the dispenser keeps your fingers out of the cat's mouth which cuts down on the risk of being bitten."
