De-worming for dogs

Hi!
I’m a huge animal lover and I was wondering if anyone could help me solve
my problem…
I have a dog who’s name is Elvis and a cat who’s name is Princess!
I’ve discovered that Elvis had worms, (is it possible that he got from other pets???)
so I want to my vet and he gave him a de-worming medication in a tablet form but he wouldn’t swallow it!!
I didn’t want to use too much force so I tried wrapping it with some sausage but he some how figured it out!
please help me!!

You could always try peanut butter or cream cheese. Sometimes you just have to be tough and give it to them the hard way. What you do is take the top of their muzzle with one hand and face them slightly upward. Then take your other hand with pill in it and gently apply pressure to the bottom jaw to make them open. Now you can either drop the pill as far back as possible and then hold their mouth until they swallow(rubbing their throats helps stimulate that). The second way is to take your hand and put that pill as far back as possible and give it a little push with your finger and then close their mouth. If that fails, there's always a pill gun which is a little device that you put the pill in and insert as far back into the dog's mouth and then press the plunger to shoot the pill in. Your vet should have those if you really need it. Good luck.

Peanut butter or cheese usually works for me, but depending on what type of worms they are, there are very good liquid and paste wormers available as well. Sometimes those are easier to administer.

Or, you could just ask your vet to do it.

Hi Tami!
about five months ago my dog Angie suffered from worms.
my friend told me to buy a de-worming pill and mix it with some chicken but
Angie figured it out and only ate a quarter…
that happened a couple of times unlit two months ago I’ve found a solution in a form of dry food that my Angie really liked and I didn’t have to force her at all !!!
you should try it …
Tasties Worm-Out

That site looks pretty fishy.

NOWHERE does it list the active ingredients of the "wormer", what kind of worms it removes, and the "terms" page is something that only a lawyer could decipher. This part in particular seemed "off":

User instructions/warnings

Something smells fishy, and I don't think it's the wormer.
