Holistic Pet Care

Yolanda,

Thank you. My apologies, I somehow missed your reply until now.

I hadn't thought of pill pockets. I'll keep that in mind in case the broth routine doesn't keep working. Thank you.

I'm able to pop pills in all my cats the same way you describe. My concern with giving the Cosequin is that those are capsules with the gelatin type exterior and tend to stick on the way down. I was trying to think of how to get those down a cat without choking the beast when it sticks. I like your suggestion of the pill pockets. It both makes a good back up plan and an idea for future use.
