A blessing...sorta
Running a pet "sanctuary"... I've got many critters that need pills.  This is so easy to use and eliminates so much stress.<br /><br />The "soft" tip makes it a "lead pipe cinch" to get the pills, way back in the throat so they can't be spit out.... and I don't worry about hurting my guys since the soft tip eliminates that concern.<br /><br />Even if you're real familiar with giving meds to pets.... this will make the job much easier for both you and you pet...<br /><br />And no.... I don't own stock in the company....<br /><br />PS.... I did need to put a small "slit", on both sides of the "soft tip".  It was a bit small to grip many of the pills.<br /><br />The small slits allow all pills to be given and the tip,  even with the slits,  still held the pills firmly in place.  All that's needed is two, maybe 1/4 inch slits on either side of the soft tip.<br /><br />UPDATE.... I still stand by my original review.  BUT.... in view of the soft tip, the "push rod" will sometimes slip to the SIDE of the pill and won't push it out.<br /><br />Especially if the pill is tiny.  Also, depending on the type, a larger pill will sometimes NOT stay in the soft "holder"  as it will be pushed out by the tip as it tries to keep it's shape and exerts pressure on the inserted item.<br /><br />Still use the heck out of it and really like it.  Just be aware of these little "issues" and you'll be fine.  Critters allow me to insert it way back in the mouth as the soft tip doesn't even phase them.  And I know I'm not causing any undue stress with a rigid pill popper.
