Lixit Safe Soft Tip Pill Administer Tool for Cats, Dogs and Other Pets That Require Medication. (Pack of 1)

Very good, no tablet spat out since we got this for our cat

Flimsy and unable to grip the pill, it didn't extend enough to even get into my pet's mouth. Waste of time and money.

Very easy to use, makes life so easy with crazy cat!

I found the barrel of this didn't operate smoothly and it took longer to dispense the pill if I was to do it without hurting the cat. Also, although the dispensing end has a small bit, it's not strong enough to push the pill down. I ordered two different types, and thankfully the other one was much more efficient while also being kinder and gentler. Much better ones out there.

Really easy to use

Easy to use and the soft end is great for the animals throat

Didn't really work, wasn't very strong. Went back to old system of hiding tablet in food for dog and checking she didn't spit it back out!

I bought this to help me give my cat antibiotics over a long period. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't and things ended in an undignified tussle. In the end I found it easier to use the standard method of inserting pills by hand.

A little background history... we rescued an adult cat who was being fostered. There was no medical history, all we knew as it had "allergies" and that it wasn't gaining any weight (skin and bones!). It was a pure bred Tonkinese female and I quickly suspected it was ill. I got it to my vet quickly to discover it not only had an upper respiratory infection, but hyperthyroidism and it was older than first suspected. Why the foster "parent" never had any blood work done on a senior cat with no medical history is beyond me, but at least I save a life. Anyway, after a bout of pancreatitis from the stress of moving her, and on top of that, into a home with 8 other cats, we were able to start giving her the thyroid pills. At first, she gobbled up the cream cheese "treats" and everyone was happy, then 2 days later, cream cheese gone, little pink pill is on the floor... next step, pry open mouth, pop down throat, hold mouth shut until she swallows. Wise cat, she won't swallow, spits pill out. Next step, pry open mouth. pop down throat, hold mouth shut, get plastic syringe with water and put water down her throat several times. Unfortunately, in the time it took too get the water, she had time to hide the pill and spit it out after a few bouts of water! Clearly, she's taken pills before! That's when I went hunting for these so called pill guns. This one looked the best, because it had the water and on occasion, the water trick did work, just not always. So, did it work?Yes, it works! Let's start with what not to do.1. Do not put it the side of the cats mouth. While this works for liquid medications, it doesn't work for this. This seems to leak a lot of the water out, thus not giving the full amount and leaving room for wise cats to still be able to spit the pill out. Lesson learned.2. Do not do this slowly, thinking it's "nicer" for the cat, this allows for them to be able to separate pill from water and spit the pill out. Again, lesson learned.Now, let's talk about the correct way to to do it.1. Fill the entire barrel with water (as far as it will let you, which is not all the way).2. Wedge the pill in the tip, it's perfect for thyroid pills!3. Place about half of the white part (see picture) into the FRONT of the cats mouth (see above, not the side!) and QUICKLY (see above, not slowly) push down and administer the water/pill as quickly as possible. This may seem like you are going to gag your cat on water, but trust me, you don't. They swallow very quickly and they don't have time to react to the surge of water and the pill mixed in with it, thus they can't sort pill from water and they have to swallow it.Note: They will be peeved. Probably for hours. They may bite, hiss, scratch, and hold a grudge for who knows how long. They may put a 21 pound cat in their place w/in minutes of having received said pill - yes, this has happened and it was quite comical. They may in fact hiss at every cat (And human) they come in contact with an refuse treats just to spite themselves. However, beware, as every other cat in your house will expect a treat just for putting up with the madness of the now peeved cat. You were warned.I highly recommend this product if you have a pill spitting cat! However, I will say that I don't know if a large pill would fit in the tip.

Es muy cómodo para dar los medicamentos a mi gato ya que antes me lastimaba con sus dientes afilados , ahora es mas rápido dar cualquier tipo de medicamento y el diseño es muy cómodo y fácil de usar.

Really useful for shooting pills down your cranky cat's gullet deep enough they can't spit them back up!

l'article ne tient pas ensemble, le piston se tord dès que vous le bouger et l'embout est très gros pour la petite bouche de chat, très déçu

I've literally bought all the available pill poppers on amazon and this is the best one. It also kind of sucks because it's too small for some pills , and sometimes if your cat bites it a certain way it gets bent up and doesn't push the pill out. I predict having to buy a new one every few months. But of all the available options it's the best one so it gets five stars.
