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.

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.

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)

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.

Would not use this on my cat. A warning that the soft tip could come off made me uneasy. If you have a tiny easy to handle cat maybe. My cat is 20lbs and I was not going to take a chance.

Simple, effective.

This pill dispenser has been a life saver! My cat absolutely hates taking medication and will do anything that she can to spit a pill out. She sometimes even chipmunk's it in her cheek and spits it out later. One of her pills has a bad taste to it, so she often wouldn't eat her food because she still had the bitter taste in her mouth. This dispenser allows you to easily put the pill far enough into the back of their mouth that they can't spit it out. Giving my cat her medication twice a day use to be a very stressful situation for the both of us, now it is quick and easy. Been using it for a few months now. Highly recommended!

No le caben las píldoras y esta muy caro.

Using the QIYADIN Cat Pill Shooter made an unpleasant task so much easier and safer

Absolutely terrible design. Zero stars. Firstly, both the included silicone heads were identical (for liquids) and did not have a slit to hold a pill. I cut a slit, but the plunger is only long enough for a very small cat or toy sized dog, otherwise, the pill will fall short at their tongue — and they then spit it out. The actual green plunger with rubber gasket does not slide smoothly, so you don’t get a quick pushing action at all. I tried wetting it, and even adding pet-safe fish oil to it in homes it would slide quickly, but nope. Lastly, the entire device is hard plastic that you’re inserting into your pets mouth, only the very tip is silicone. Horribly designed product and function all around. Would not recommend.

Recently my cat had to go to the ER and long story short, I need to give him pills 3 times a day for 7 days. My cat is very difficult to give medication, especially pills. He is squirmy and refuses to open his mouth (even after following a ton of tips I saw in videos). Anyways, I bought this in hopes of making the process a bit easier and I am so glad I did. The pills I have are about 0.5-0.75 cm in diameter and they fit in this product well. I simply squeeze the tip of the silicone applicator and insert the pill (make sure to test it a few times before trying it with your cat/dog) and then I prepared my cat. He is still squirmy and very difficult, but this applicator helped a lot. I'm able to push it into his mouth and then release the pill towards the back of his throat. Sometimes it take 2 tries, but so far I've been able to get the pill in in one try. The trick is to release it towards the back of the throat, if I don't that's usually when he will spit it out. Anyways, it's a great tool to have around for the future in case I need it. I don't necessarily think it's worth $10 but I see that the price has gone down since I bought it. Also to note, this specific one did not have a silicone tip with a slit, but it did come with 2 of the same tips so if you need one with a slit you could probably cut one. I didn't need the one with the slit though.
