TOMLYN Pill-Masker Original Bacon-Flavored Paste for Dogs & Cats, 4oz

This stuff is made, I'm convinced, of actual magic. I have an incredibly picky dog who also has to have daily medication. It's been a pain trying to figure that out for years. I tried a lot of things--peanut butter, cheese, her dog food, treats, the pill pockets, etc, and every option I ever tried either resulted in her refusing to eat it at all, or being inconsistent on whether she would eat it on a daily basis. I had to throw out meds here and there over the years because the pills would end up disintegrating in the peanut butter or whatever else I was using, before I could get her to eat it because she would let it sit there for hours. It also meant I couldn't be sure she was getting her needed medication every day. And it was a pain whenever I needed to have someone else watch her, because I had to come up with a complicated system of covering the pills and I couldn't do it ahead of time because the pills would disintegrate and she wouldn't eat it, but to ask people to do the system and have her still refuse to eat it was a big pain. Considering her medication is related to severe separation anxiety that has resulted in her injuring herself in the past, it was especially a problem if she wouldn't consistently have her medication when I wasn't around to keep trying when I was home before/after work. Added to all this, I have one of the few dogs that is apparently allergic to chicken(?), so I can't buy her anything with chicken or chicken byproducts in it. Which, if you've ever read ingredients on dog food and treats, is almost everything. Then, one day, I saw the Tomlyn pill-masker at a pet store near me and I figured, what the hell. I'll give it a try. And I'm so glad I did! This stuff is frickin AMAZING! She literally, not once in the 2-3 years I've been using this, has EVER refused to take anything that was wrapped in this. Because it's a substance I can cut/tear pieces off, I can use it to mask any size of item I need. I've offered her chewable tablets for short-term meds for her before that's supposed to be something a dog will eat straight and she won't touch it; I go and put even a super thin layer of the Tomlyn pill masker on it and give it back to her and she eats it immediately. Even the time or two where I made too big of a pill ball for her and she couldn't easily eat it because of teeth issues, if I tear it into smaller pieces she has zero problems eating it. In previous configurations I tried, if she started to eat it and it fell open and she could smell or see the meds inside, she would refuse to eat more of it even if I tried covering the edges with whatever I was using (like peanut butter or etc) -- but with this stuff, the few times she's seen what's inside I just put a bit more of the Tomlyn pill masker over the edge and she had no problems downing it. Also, because of the consistency of this pill masker, it is sooooo easy to bring traveling with her--I can just cut off a chunk, throw it in a baggy or a sealed bottle, and I'm good to go. It also is super easy to explain to people watching her when I'm on vacation; it's really easy to understand that all they have to do is tear off a piece and cover the meds and she'll eat it. I genuinely do not know what I would do without this. I was getting to a point where I was running out of realistic options for giving her medication before I found this. This has made my morning routine with my dog approximately 1000 times faster and simpler and less stressful, as well as those occasions when she has specialty meds from a vet visit (like now, when she had minor surgery and I have to give her pain meds, etc, in addition to her other medication). I honestly feel like by now it would be getting near impossible to deal with her pickiness in trying to give her medication, if it weren't for this product. The biggest issue I have is so few pet stores carry this; it was only the one store where I ever found it, and then they stopped carrying it. I freaked out until I realized I could find it online -- and it's even an add-on item at the moment for Amazon! If you ask me, this product is ridiculously amazing, and it's 100% worth the price. If you have a picky eater of a dog and if you need to make sure you can consistently give them their meds, I really recommend you try this out. If your dog is anything like mine, your only regret will be not having found this sooner.

My cat refused every flavor of the pill pockets in the green bags. His medication is in tablet form and must taste terrible. I was really tired of getting scratched and it was damaging our relationship everyday for me to grab him up while he was sleeping, burrito him in a towel and force him to swallow the pill coated in butter. I read another pet parent’s advice to split to tablet in half and hide it inside of a chicken flavored empty capsule (purchased at the same time on Amazon). I have to trim a small amount of the empty capsule so that it is as small as necessary to hide the halved tablet. Then I roll the capsule in this pill paste. I also roll 2 delicious crunchy cat treats in the pull paste and give him one of those first, immediately followed by the medication version and before he even swallows it, I offer the other delicious treat version - all 3 covered in the pill paste. He sometimes chews the first version which is why I use a pill-paste covered treat first - I don’t want him chewing the “real” one which is the second one. I give the “real” one very quickly and rush him by offering the second treat one before he even thinks about chewing the terrible-tasting tablet one in the capsule. So far, so good - it’s worked for over a week and I no longer dread medication time.

I just reordered this. I think I found my first container in a bin store. The taste seems to be accepted the same as Wrapapill and the cost is $2 cheaper for the same amount. I can use it interchangeably and my toy poodle considers his twice a day pills as treats. Sometimes I roll a small mount into a ball without any pills inside for my other two dogs so they do not feel left out. Their monthly meds go into this as well. Worth the money and easily works. My first jar was a little dried out but I added a bit of water and went back to it a week later and it was perfect. Always keep the lid on it so it does not dry out.

My dog has to take one pill and capsule for an enlarged heart. This bacon masked it for awhile just as every other product we tried he is always finding the medication, it works for maybe a week. It's a very good product and easy to use

Love this product. Perfect for the purpose

My dog loves this stuff. He is on meds morning and night, he never hesitates to take them. It's nice that you can select how much you need to use.

So glad I found this product. Makes giving my cat pills so easy.

Having read the reviews I thought my cat will eat this to take her pills… oh how I was wrong. She sniffed it and turned her back and walked away. One fussy and expensive cat. £32 of putty that will never get eaten 😩
