How to Give Medicines


Capsules and Tablets First grasp the dog’s upper jaw, with your left

Hand, pressing his cheeks inward to cover the

Teeth. Hold the capsule between the thumb and

First finger of your right hand. Push it as far back

Into the mouth as you can. Close his mouth with

Both hands, and stroke his throat to make him

Swallow.

Liquid Medication Pull out the dog’s lower lip to form a pocket. Pour

The liquid from a spoon into this pocket. Keep

The dog’s head slightly raised, and stroke his

Throat to encourage swallowing.
