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

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-

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 love this thing and I really love that it came with a tip for pills and a tip for liquid. This is one of my favorite pill “shooters” because it has loops for your fingers and makes holding it and administering it way easier than the ones without the finger loops. The reason I put “shooter” in quotations is because it does not shoot the pill back however I am glad it doesn’t and I don’t think that’s what anyone wants unless you want your dog/cat choking. It gently pushes the pill out of the “shooter syringe” and as long as you have it in the back of their mouth it works. Small and large pills work with this and fit well. Haven’t tried liquid yet. The product is made of durable material and it doesn’t feel cheap and crappy. I highly recommend it.

This device works well for several pill sizes. However BEWARE. The tips get loose and while administering med one day the tip came off and my pet swallowed it. ER vet had to remove it. Ive now super glued the tip on and check every time before giving meds that it’s still unable to come off.

My cat recently had a heart related health scare which he almost did not survive. Now he has to take 3 pills every day...one is known for tasting very, very bad. I bought this product to help get the bitter tasting pill to go down his throat without traumatizing my cat too much. In the photos/video & description of this product on Amazon, it shows that two removable tips are included, and the one designed to be used for pills (vs. liquid medicine) should have two, very short slits (on opposite sides, just cutting through the tip), to allow the tool to easily hold a pill in the tip. However, when this product arrived, there were two identical tips in the package, and neither had any slits. But if you try to put a pill in the tip (which has no slits), you have to wedge it into the top of the tip & it is so tight that when you press the plunger to shoot the pill into the back of your cat's throat, the pill gets stuck in the tip...and alternatively, if you try to barely push a pill into the tip, so it's basically just sitting on top of the tip instead of being tightly wedged in, then the pill just falls off the tool as soon as you try to point it downwards so you are in position to press the plunger. Even when I cut the slits into one of the tips, exactly in the same positions & to the same depth as in the photos on Amazon, the tip still does a lousy job holding a pill (it is either impossible to shoot it out of the tip or it is impossible to get a pill to stay on tip without falling off as you get into position to press the plunger). This product does look like it would work well for liquid medicine, which is the other intended use for this tool. And to be fair, in the advertising, they present this product as a liquid medicine administering tool first, and then secondarily as a "pill shooter." I haven't tried it for liquid medication yet (none of my cats have needed or been prescribed liquid medicine), so I cannot yet review or endorse this product for liquid medication. I can only speak from experience using this tool for pills, and I can recommend skipping this product & buying some other gadget or tool to help your cat take his pill(s)

If you have an old, stubborn pet who has suddenly developed the ability to detect a pill hidden inside literally anything, this little gadget is your new best friend. The Cat Pill Shooter is easy to use, gentle on my dog’s mouth, and sturdy enough to handle nightly use without falling apart. It holds the pill well, goes in smoothly, and makes medicine time so much less stressful for both of us. Honestly, I wish I had bought one sooner. What was good: The design is very straightforward. It only takes a second to load a pill into the soft silicone tip, and the pill actually stays put until you push the plunger. I was worried it might be rough or uncomfortable, but it is surprisingly gentle and safe with no sharp parts at all. My dog, who has dementia and refuses pills no matter how well they are hidden in food, now gets his nightly medicine quickly and with minimal fuss. Cleaning it is easy since the tip comes off and the whole thing is just plastic and silicone with no tiny parts to worry about. For the price, it is more than worth it, especially since it feels sturdy enough to last. What wasn’t: I will admit, the first thing I thought when I saw the removable silicone nib was, “Great, now my dog has a new choking hazard.” Thankfully, it is on there pretty securely, and after using it regularly, I do not see it coming off accidentally. Other than that initial worry, I cannot really find much to complain about. It is simple, it does exactly what it promises, and it saves me from having to play “hide the pill in cheese” every night. Recap: This is one of those inexpensive tools that completely changes a routine. If you have a pet who refuses medication, especially an older one who has mastered the art of pill detection, this shooter is absolutely worth having. It is quick, easy, safe, and saves both of us a lot of stress at pill time. Five stars without hesitation.

The silicone tips are too small to even hold half a de-worming pill made by Bayer and the instructions state to first use a water feeding head to inject water down your pets throat and then switch to the pill feeding tip, i received two IDENTICAL silicone tips and the syringe doesn't even hold water with either tip and again even HALF a pill will not fit into either of the silicone tips. My aunt is a veterinarian and i volunteered for many years at the clinics that she has worked and helped administered many pills over those years and this syringe doesn't even come close to what they use. First off a real pill popper (called a Pill Gun) has a deep split tip on the silicone head which allows up to a whole pill to be dispensed in a single plunge and the plunger rod that pushes out the pill takes up the entire interior space of the cylinder and thus firmly pushes the medication out of the silicone tip and properly dispenses the medication whereas as the plunger rod in this syringe is so small that it has noticeable wiggle room around the interior cylinder and allows the rod to bypass the mere quarter of a pill that barely fits and retains the pill in the tip of the tiny silicone head. My cat need 1 1/2 pills so i would have to make SIX applications with these tiny inferior silicone tips which is unacceptable. Usually you can dispense 1/2-1 a pill at a time based on the age and size of the cat. This product does not work even in the stated directions that were included with the product. Stay far away from this and contact your veterinarian for a pill popper as they have access to products that actually work. 0/10 Stars.

This was a waste of my money, if I'm being frank. The part that holds the pill is not great, but fine. The part that pushes the pill out does next to nothing. Sure, it pushes the pill but by barely any distance in relation to the tool itself. I had to give up trying to use it and just give the pill by hand, which was a significant struggle and still a better solution than this product, unfortunately.
