Cheap 6-PACK Pill Pockets for Cats SALMON 9.6 oz (270 pockets) Review

Yes, worth every penny if you have a cat like my spirited black Ketzel.

My calico will let me pry open her jaws and pop a pill to the back (love to see that tongue touch that little pink nose-- the "all clear" sign for pill-givers).

But rogue Ketzel (who needs sedation for nail-cutting-- my fault for letting him get away with it as a kitten), will have none of this. I drop the pill into the pill pocket, wedge it in place with a twist-tie and seal the top, and he can't wait. Sometimes if I don't pay attention to my work, he'll snag the Pill Pocket before I get the pill in! At first, I wasted a few because he figured out how to eat around the pill. Eventually I learned to make sure the pill was embedded deep inside. As others have noted, he's ready for his pill every time.

This cat has mild renal disease and is on a specialty diet (Purina NF Renal Formula). The nutritional contents of the Pill Pockets are not listed on the Pill Pocket package, so I confirmed with my vet that it's okay for Ketzel to have the 2 Pill Pockets per day. You might want to check with YOUR vet, especially if your cat is more acute or sicker. On the other hand, if you can't get the medicine in any other way, the additional salt, protein, or whatever else is in the Pill Pockets probably doesn't matter.

I've bought the six-pack to save a little money and time.
