Worming

Might be a silly question but 'Is there an easy way to give my dog his worming tablet?' I've tried several times to give him his tablet, in his favourite meat, with his usual food and opening his mouth and holding it shut until he swallows it, but he still spits it out. Is there a liquid form on the market? Or should I just persevere with it until he swallows it?

We used the same technique with Milo when he was a pain in the bum with tablets. He's learnt that it's not such a big deal now and swallows them down no problem.

If your dog is a pain with the tablets I wouldn't recommend the liquid wormers as he's likely to be the same with the liquid wormer and it makes a lot more mess!
