Best Beef Pill Pockets: Top Picks to Hide Your Dogs Medication!
Okay, so my dog, Buster, is a real pain when it comes to taking pills. He's a clever little guy and can sniff out a pill hidden in pretty much anything. Cheese, peanut butter, you name it – he's onto me. I was getting pretty frustrated, so I decided to try making my own beef pill pockets. It's way cheaper than the store-bought ones, and I know exactly what's going into them.
Getting Started
First, I gathered my ingredients. Nothing fancy, just:
- Ground beef (I used lean, about a pound)
- Flour (just regular all-purpose)
- An egg
- A bit of water
No spices or seasonings – I wanted to keep it simple and dog-friendly.
Mixing it Up
I dumped the ground beef into a big bowl. Then, I cracked in the egg and sprinkled in some flour. I started with maybe half a cup of flour, but you kind of have to eyeball it. I added a splash of water, just enough to get things going.
Then came the fun part – getting my hands dirty! I squished and mixed everything together until it formed a nice, thick dough. It should be kind of like Play-Doh consistency. If it's too sticky, add more flour. Too dry? Add a tiny bit more water.
Shaping the Pockets
Once the dough was ready, I pinched off small pieces and rolled them into little balls. Then, I used my thumb to make an indent in the center of each ball – this is where the pill will go.
I make the pockets, put the pill.
The Result
And that's it! I placed the pill pockets on a baking sheet(I forgot baking them,just give Buster directly).
Buster? He gobbled them right up! No spitting out pills, no suspicious sniffing, just happy chomping. Success! I'm definitely making these again. It's a relief to finally have a pill-hiding method that actually works, and it's so easy and cheap to do.
