Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2005Pill Pockets
I've been using the Salmon flavor Pill Pockets for about 10 days and love them. Pookie just snarfs them down and doesn't notice the pill inside. I just got a package of the Chicken flavor variety and it seems to be much drier and crumbly. She's eaten these too, but they way the treat crumbles I'm concerned about the posibility of a problem in the future. The Salmon ones are gooeyier and seem to hold together better. 1. Is that just the way the chicken flavor ones are, or did I get a bad batch? 2. Those of you who've not had good results with these, did you use the chicken or the salmon flavored version? >Those of you who've not had good >results with these, did you use the chicken >or the salmon flavored version? I use both and occasionally have noticed a difference in texture from bag to bag. I bought them initially because, even though I have no problem pilling cats, I liked the fact that they could get a treat instead of being pilled with the same end result. Since some of the pills are very small, I stretch my pill pockets by breaking them in half and just mushing a half around the pill. This stuff has the consistency of cookie dough so it's very easy to do. If the pocket seems dry, you could always moisten it with a teensy bit of water, mush it so it's a little softer and then mold it around the pill.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.

The pockets were extremely soft & mushy. Harriet ate them readily at first but stopped after just a few days. I think she bit into the capsule I had in the pocket, and it turned her off. It sounds like your bag might have been ripped or punctured, and the treats dried out. -- Liz Ours were chicken-flavored, and pretty doughy. I didn't notice any dryness. He noticed the pill on the first one after it was down (kept chewing like he had an after-taste) and spit out the 2nd one.
