Pet Pill Gun Handy Piller Tablets Dispenser, 2 Items

Just received this today and used it. I was so impressed I felt it deserved a review especially with all the negative reviews that almost prevented me from purchasing. I have 2 Boxers. My male takes 3 pills at once of Zertec. I have a single pill shooter for my female who takes 1 pill, but having to do that 3 times in a row, daily for my male was getting tough. This shooter allowed me to put all 3 pills in at once and shoot them to the back of his throat with ease. So it holds smallish pills no problem. For anyone who hasn't done this before there is a learning curve but that's on the user, not the product. Tip: Enter the dogs mouth from the side and place behind the tongue then shoot and hold dogs chin up while rubbing their throat till they swallow. After they get used to it, it gets easier and easier. I usually give a treat after they swallow it too.

Worked Great! Appreciate the larger opening than other pill poppers. Easy to take apart clean afterwards.

This has been great for giving pills to our dog! She is seriously picky and will not take a pill in a treat or in her food as she can smell it. If I try to stick one down her throat she clamps her teeth down hard and resists it. UGH This little tool makes it so easy. I do agree it is not made well as the end flares out so a pill can fall out easily. Plus it will only work with a larger pill. But I still like it anyway!

Does what is advertised but it’s a little large for a cats mouth. Also it doesn’t pop the pill out with much force so they can still spit it out if you don’t get it back far in their throat. The material seems cheap as well.

Our dog is epileptic and we've been trying to find ways to give him his medicine without sticking our fingers down his throat or giving him pill pockets since those can get pricy, hence why we tried this out. It lasted about 2 weeks then we returned it. My main reason for the return is sharp plastic fingers which hold the pill. It nicked his throat even after I shaved it down and smoothed it out. Hard no for me. Packaging is basic but I don't care for that anyway. So it's environmentally friendly in that regard and also it's reusable. Just wash it off after each use with water and a light soap scrub. Using the pusher is straightforward. Take off the cardboard stopper, put the pill in the plastic fingers, and push down on the plunger. You can adjust the middle plastic holder so it's also not going to touch a dirty surface. That piece is more so designed for the depth of your animal's throat to you don't shove it too far down. Also, the value isn't bad, two units for less than $10 is good. Here are the many downsides, 1. The medicine must be in a capsule. Any smaller pills would fall off or not come off the holding fingers correctly. Tested that and it was a mess. 2. The plastic fingers that hold the pill needed serious trimming. There was lots of plastic that wasn't cleaned off during the manufacturing process so I had to trim that off. It took 2 minutes at most but if not cleaned could result in my pet ingesting plastic shards or getting cuts in their throat. 3. The large opening down the sides of the fingers allow the pill to fall out of place. Then you get this salvia and half-dissolved pill mess to clean up. 4. This isn't designed for liquid so don't try that. Not a downside but don't get this and expect it to perform that action. 5. Good luck getting your pet to sit still enough to shove this down their throat. I'm used to giving medicine to my dog but since this is a device that is designed to go into the beginning of the throat so they don't cough the medicine up, I can see many people having issues with that. It's a willpower of people rather than a failure of the product. However, a failure of the product is the sharp plastic going into a sensitive tissue area (throat). I think a silicone outside with a hard plastic plunger would be a better alternative here.

Buying this pill dispensing syringe changed my life!!! I have a very difficult cat who needed to be given medication in the form of a pill every day. I tried Pill Pockets. He could easily find the pill and spit it out before swallowing. I tried to shove the pill down his throat. That was really a bad idea. I still have the scars to remind me not to do that again. I even tried other syringe pill dispensers. They did not hold the pill in place long enough for me to get it anywhere near the struggling cat. This dispenser is different. My cat jumps up on the counter and lies down on a towel I have placed there for his comfort. I show him the syringe and he pretty much opens his mouth without my having to be at all forceful. I have never seen anything like this. He gets his pill mid morning. If I don't think to invite him to the pill session, he will jump up and sit on his towel and look at me until I comply with his request for his medication. I always immediately follow giving him the pill with a little food treat. His enthusiasm for getting his pill may or may not have something to do with being offered brunch. I used to dread having to give him any medication. Now it is so easy and with the dispenser, strangely something we both enjoy. I am even more amazed because when I take him to the vet he has to be anesthetized before the vet can get anywhere near him.

If your pet takes pills larger than a small pea or large lentil, these would PROBABLY work. For my dog's various tiny heart pills and halved-pills, they just fall out of the tip. Also, the tip is poor quality and stretches out immediatey so that a pill the size of a navy bean or a black bean would probably work best. Nice for a llama or something like a sheep, tho, if they take bigger pills. Never had anything bigger than a Bichon or Poodle so don't know what a German Shepard or similar size dog would be prescribed. I should have known the price was too low to be a quality product, but I'm a schmuck.

This thing right here is amazing!! I saw that my cat had worms so I bought him dewormer medicine but he would not eat it!! It's was a nightmare! I mixed it in with wet food and also tried tuna but he turned his nose up to both of them and wouldn't eat it. So then I tried mixing it with a little milk to make a mixture and give it to him with a syringe and he didn't like that either. So I bought this and it literally took me two seconds to give the pill to him! I read on other reviews that people put a little bit of butter on the pill to make it slide down easier so I did that and the pill shot right down his throat and it didn’t seem to bother him at all. I would definitely recommend this!
