Cat Pill Shooter Pet Piller Gun Dog Pill Shooter Cat Tablet Soft Tip Syringe Pet Medical Feeding Dispenser Tool for Small Animal

This product worked perfectly. We have a very difficult cat when it comes to pills (but with nothing else). He’s actually traumatized by how much effort it has taken to give him a pill by hand. Not any more. The pill shooter worked perfectly, easily, and instantly (on the first try). I do agree that it won’t work with large pills. I bet you could put a little slit in the tip for big pills. But for us, it was perfect.

I got this to try and make giving my cat his doxycycline pill easier as it can have a bitter taste if it sticks around the mouth too long and can be caustic on the throat. Idea was to fill the syringe portion with water, load the pill in the silicone tip, and push the pill followed by a drink of water to wash it down.First problem is, the tip can't meaningfully hold any pills. The doxy tablet was a bit large, which is fair enough, but the dose was a half tablet so no big deal. Except the half tablet also doesn't fit. Nor does a smaller antibiotic he's also been ordered. Trying to load just the small pill ended up with the silicone tip tearing immediately, so it's not even especially durable. Upon trying to just make do, it actually failed to even push the pill because the plunger has a pointed tip, so it just shoved the pill aside. The advertising of this as a pill shooter is fantasy at best and willfully false at worst.The only thing this might be useful for is giving liquids, but at that point save yourself some cash and just order normal syringes—they hold the liquid better, are gonna be accurate for dosing, and you'll have multiple for less than the price of this thing. And if you or someone you know is in healthcare at all you can probably just get one for free, even.

I was worried about this product based on other reviews but it’s worked perfectly for us so far. Our cat hates taking her small thyroid pill and tends to spit them out if we can’t get them far enough in her throat to swallow on the first try. We placed the pill inside the removable silicone tip and then put a little churu on the end to coax her into opening her mouth. All you have to do then is aim and shoot lol. We actually got the pill far enough in and down her throat on the first try which was a huge improvement compared to doing it by hand.The silicone tip was very secure and I don’t see how it could possibly dislodge in your pet’s mouth if you had it on correctly. It comes with 2 tips that you can wash after each use. I could see them getting worn out over time but shouldn’t be a big deal to replace them. Overall very happy .

One of my cats is difficult to pill and has to have one small pill every day. Most pill guns seem to be made for larger pills, but this one is the right size. I had bought this same pill gun a couple of years ago or so, and on the older version one of the two tips had a slit so it could also be used with capsules. I wanted that because sometimes the pharmacy gives capsules, sometimes pills. This time when I bought it, neither of the two tips has a slit, which means capsules just get stuck. It does work great as long as I have pills though, so I am now sure to specify that I will only accept pills from the pharmacy. So as long as you're looking to use this with relatively small pills, you will like this pill gun, it definitely gets the job done.

I purchased this to give pills to my cat, and definitely struggled. Either the rubber end would come off, the pill wouldn’t release, or it would fall out. I didn’t find it any easier than administering by hand

In having to for the first time as a daily routine, give a cat medication it’s very dependent on the cat and does require a lot of experience or an abundance of YouTube tutorials, especially when you’re dealing with a sick animal you don’t want to stress it anymore than it already is, I am not a professional veterinary technician, or anything like that, but for 20 days straight I just got through taking care of a beloved animal, along with a product like this if there’s any stress on the animal immediately have a veterinary technician simply do it for you and help you to learn as it takes effort, and some basic knowledge. for most animal lovers it’s whatever the cost and vets are usually very willing to help with these things. My specific issue was swollen lymph nodes so the cat already did not want to eat or drink, you have to get it “the pill“ at least 2/3 past the tongue basically down the throat that’s why it is called a pill gun, it’s why it has suction and literally shoots the pill because if you simply try to put one in by hand, the cat will spit it out somewhere and quickly learns to spit it out when you are not looking. Anyways, my point if your animal actually needs medication it’s usually not a good scenario and you don’t want your animal under any more stress than it already is so a device like this is extremely handy, and it becomes habit and routine for the animal very quickly once it’s learned how to use properly, I thought YouTube tutorials would be enough but one person is not enough unless they are a expert technician. One thing I am positive of the faster the better and quick and easy and painless so there’s no stress or discomfort to the animal in question- so all the YouTube tutorials you can watch and Most are making it look like it’s really easy and it is not! 100% have a professional technician help you a few times whether you bring your cat to the vet or they come to you, it’s a service most that’s offer and for the love of your animals absolutely necessary to do it properly. The product works wonderful, there’s some more sleek designs that are a little more appropriate as the less the animal sees the less it is prone to be weary of what’s in front of it, kind of like seeing a large needle as opposed to a very small needle for a human. But like I said it works and it’s just a tool, so it needs to be used properly and assuming you love your animal and you’re buying this for that reason 100% if it does not go smoothly the first time, talk to your veterinary office immediately for assistance, then it quickly becomes a routine. For the price and the fact that it works overall it’s a decent product, you can’t put a price tag on taking care of your animal properly but also unless your animal requires medication daily for the rest of his life, you do not need a professional grade pill shooter, so if something like this works just fine short term. It’s a tool that works and if you’re new to this kind of task like I said it becomes routine but have a professional to assist you and teach you for your animal. It works as advertised, cleaning is not a problem. And if your animal requires medication on a daily basis, I’m sure you have already spoken with your vet and have a solid routine down but for short term care this is perfect.:) a further note as time is usually a factor make sure it can be delivered immediately, I needed it quickly and thank you Amazon for getting this to me next day as I need it-

The pill was cut in half and still didn't fit to well in it...don't recommend this!
