pill pockets

Treat with cavity

Pill pockets are soft, hollow treats designed to conceal medication for pets, especially dogs and cats.

The pocket wraps around a pill or capsule, masking its taste and smell to make administration easier: The vet suggested pill pockets after we couldn't get him to take his medication.

Originally a brand name, now used generically for any similar product.
