We have to hide them in a knob of fresh food because he can be stubborn about taking them. When he was really, really sick, he had no appetite, so we had to shove them down his throat. In addition to his twice-a-day routine, we have to give him a pill midday, as well. That's why I say, more pills won't make much difference in this household.
