How do you give medicine to your pet animal?
The best way to give pets their medicine, especially if it don't taste good, is in their food or water or their favorite treat. Now depending on the medicine and what is in their food might be taken into consideration. Like antibiotics and milk don't mix, the milk pretty much cancel the good the antibiotics does for the pet. Always make sure you give the right dosage and the right kind of any medication to your pet and that the treat you give him/her will not counteract to the meds or be harmful to your pet.
