  Life saver - so far November 7, 2008
So far we love this product. Some of the reviews have me a little worried that it won't last forever but it has literally been a lifesaver for our cat. She has always been very territorial to the point of always staying in the room when anyone is around and hissing and swatting at people who try to touch her or get too close. Our basement door was left open just a crack and a neighbor's cat came in. Our cat would not go downstairs, she just looked through her pet door and they screeched and yowled at each other but our cat was totally over the edge after that. We couldn't get near her; she growled and hissed all the time. We have grandchildren and we really were considering having her put down. My husband loves her so much and she is only two and a half years old so we didn't want to do that. The vet put her on Prozac but we couldn't get it down her. It was hard enough anyway but with her in the agressive mode, it was impossible. The Pill Pockets made all the difference. She swallowed it down in a second and wanted more. She is just upset that she doesn't get more than one treat a day. She has always loved chicken but we will try another flavor if she gets tired of this one. She has had a habit of getting bored with different types of treats after a few months so we hope this doesn't happen with this one. The last two days it has taken two treats to get it down her. I'm not sure if my husband isn't putting them in right or if she has figured out that if the pill pops out she will get another treat. We've only been doing this a week and we just hope this keeps on working because if we are not able to continue giving her the medication, she has to find another home or be put down. By the way, the medication works great in case anyone has a cat or dog that has problems of some sort. Considering the other treatments and prices of raising animals, I was happy to find the price on these. I would not call them pricey considering they only eat one a day and it gets the pill down the cat.

I have to give my cat pills everyday and we all know what a joy that can be. Greenies Pill Pockets for cats have made this process so much easier. What a great product!
 Change Not Always Good September 30, 2008
I have been using Pill Pockets for years and am VERY disappointed that Greenies changed the ingredients. Not only are they not as moist, but they removed the probiotic which aids in digestion. They say only the packaging has changed, but I had an old package and compared the ingredients and they are DEFINITELY different. It is still a Good way to give a pill, but not as healthy or tasty. I have even found unknown pieces of hard stuff in some, (I use to break them up and roll into balls and give as treats. I have tried to track down any of the originals, but unfortunately, they seem to be all gone. So, if you need to give your cat a pill, buy them, I just don't give them as treats anymore. Sad that such a great product has gone from a 10 to a 4, in my opinion. And what's sadder, I wrote to Greenies about the ingredients about 3 months ago and I have yet to hear a thing from them... Not very good customer relations.
A lifesaver!! August 25, 2008
THANK YOU to whoever invented this simple little item!! My cat now has to take thyroid medicine twice a day for the rest of her life, and there's NO FREAKIN WAY we would ever be able to give her pills any other way!! I tried to give her pills in treats, crushed up in food, shoving down her throat!! NOTHING worked. She freaked out as soon as she knew it was medication. She loves the chicken pockets and LIFE IS GOOD and it's so easy, she waits for her treat every day. She's doing so well and things couldn't be more purrfect!!!

A little miffed... August 18, 2008

...that we didn't know about this product about 2 years ago. It took both of us, one to hold and pry open our sweet cat's mouth and another to deposit pill(s) and squirt in the water, twice a day. We had both gotten bitten before, but the most recent bite on my left thumb was pretty serious and got infected. Fun! Anyway, a client told us about Pill Pockets and price be d**ned, I'd pay 4 times as much just to not get bitten again. These things are heaven sent. Thanks, Pill Pockets! :)
