Make sure your cat swallows a couple of times.

After this, it is important to pet and give your pet his favorite treat.

If, according to the instructions, it is allowed to give the tablet in powder form, then you can dissolve it in water and pour it into the cat’s mouth using a syringe without a needle.

Pour the solution from the side, between the molars.

Always get your veterinarian's express permission before giving cats medication in this manner.

You can also hide the tablet in your pet's food. For example, in canned meat food or canned fish.
