  • Ah, the intricacies of multi-pet politics. 🙂

    In that case I would probably make something that needs to be refrigerated but then just take out the required dosage (three pockets) as I’m going to bed. No matter what the ingredients are they’ll be fine out of the fridge for a few hours. You could also try rice flour instead of oats.

    It looks like Presidio has a line of wheat-free pill pockets for dogs. (They do have barley in the ingredients, though.) Sorry for the Amazon link. They do seem to be available at a few other places as well.


  • I’m sorry to hear that you and your dog are going through all this (but thanks for paying the appropriate tax - she’s a cutie!). Any reason you can’t just give her the pills in a glob of peanut butter, either all at once or one at a time? Does she find the pill and spit it out?

    My first thought is that you need something to bind it all together. Maybe egg or psyllium husk or something? Or maybe you’ll need to bake it for a short while to get it to hold and remove the moisture? I don’t have a good answer for you, but you may want to cross-post to [email protected], [email protected], or maybe [email protected].

    ETA: any reason they need to be shelf stable and you can’t refrigerate or freeze them? This page has some good recipe options but they all require refrigeration. And this person uses coconut flour instead of oat, but also refrigerates them.
