Cat Pill Shooter, Pet Pill Dispenser with 2 Silicone Tips, Medicine Pill Pusher for Cats, Puppies and Small Animals

Fantastic!! Finally able to give my cat a pill! This has a flexible tip to fit any size pill. I also coat the tip (and pill) in a Churu treat for easy swallowing. After about one week - she doesn’t fit me anymore and it’s so much easier to give. Great tool!

I've tried quite a few pillers for cats. This is the only one that actually helped me get my extremely squirmy cats pilled. Because of the design I never lost my grip on it while squeezing the pill out. The pill goes right where you aim it. It's quick and easy. Out of 28 pills (two weeks pilling two cats), only two pills got spit out because my cat was quicker than I was. But both times the second try succeeded, no need for a third attempt. I'm never going back to the other design.

OMG I love this thing! Unlike other pill shooters that have loops you need to put your fingers in, this one is easy to hold, and you can adjust your grip as your cat snakes its head back and forth in a futile attempt to escape your tender care.Seriously, I'd give this 10 stars if I could. I have three senior cats who need meds every day, and without this, I'd be struggling.PS: If, like me, you have cats that need multiple meds, get some pill capsules and stick all of the meds in them. This thing will hold the capsules with no problem.

If you have a cat that is extra difficult to give pills to, do not get one of these.I read the reviews before buying it myself and thought "it can't be all that bad". BZZZZ....wrong! It can be and it is. It does not shoot the pill to the back of the cat's tongue where it is easy to get them to swallow it. All it does is drop the pill gently out the end of it. If you don't have the end of the pill pusher all the way in the back of kitty's mouth, then that pill is going nowhere except out and onto the floor.I tried using this item and finally gave up. I went back to our old one, which is 100% better, even if it is 10 years old and showing its age.Don't waste your money.P.S. I tried giving this a zero stars review, it wouldn't let me. You have to give it at least one star. It's not worth even one.

Edit: I have changed my review from 3 stars to 4. Their customer service is exceptional! After reading my review, they reached out and I was offered a full refund, even though it was past my return period. But I’ve decided to keep the product because I know our small local shelter can always use these kinds of supplies, and I still think it’s a good product even if it’s not “for me”. So if you’re on the fence about trying it, I’d say go for it. If it’s not ‘for you’ either, at least you have the peace of mind that you can return it for a full refund. Or you can donate it to a rescue shelter.I have an 18 year old cat with multiple health issues that require giving him five pills, twice a day. Some are tiny and some are kind of huge. So I bought this tool in hope of reducing his stress during medicine time. But sadly, it actually made pill time even more stressful.Pros: I do like how the silicone tip is soft and won’t scratch the soft pallet and is easy on the teeth if the cat tends to try and bite down on it. It also does hold regular-sized pills well. It would probably work well for any small pets that take normal, whole pills. The trigger is also responsive and releases normal size/shape pills easily.Cons: My cat takes varying sized pills, with some cut in 1/4 pieces and the cut pills do not stay in the silicone tip properly, plus they tend to not dispense when the trigger is pressed if the pill is cut. The tool is also very awkward to hold with a squirming cat trying to get away. It may work better if one person is holding the cat still while the other uses the tool.Sadly, I’ve just gone back to giving his medication by hand. As long as you keep your fingernails trimmed very short (and your cat’s claws trimmed) it’s actually kind of easy to give them pills once you find the ‘secret’ combo position that works for both you and the cat. I use this method:With my left hand (I’m right handed), I hold the back of my cat’s head by his neck for stability.With my left thumb, I lift his chin so he’s looking up toward the ceiling.Holding the pill with my thumb and index finger of my right hand, I use my right middle finger to wedge open his mouth at the back corner.With his mouth open, and him looking up, I drop the pill at the back of his throat.Close his mouth, gently massage his throat to trigger his swallow reflex, then repeat.

This thing worked so well that I didn’t believe it for a bit. I looked all over for the pill but she actually ingested it. She looked at me like ‘what just happened!’ It was so fast. BE CAREFUL not to accidentally shove the whole plastic tip down their throat. You put the pill in the bottom just enough to hold it but not so loose that it falls out. If you wedge the pill in the tip the whole thing. Will go down their throat. A better design would be to not have a removable tip.

Honestly pretty disappointed in this. It doesn't "pop" at all like others that I've used. With a finicky cat, it was easier to use my hand than this tool. The biggest pro is that it can hold smaller pills, like those that are cut in half. Looking for another option.
