A dog on a heart tablet is on the schedule a person would be, and forgets it just as reliably, so the weekly organizer does the same job it does on a kitchen counter: seven lids, one dose each, an empty compartment as the record. The daily AM/PM case is for a cat on a morning and evening dose. The cutter is for a vet who has written half a tablet; veterinary tablets are small and hard, and the safety shield keeps a thumb off the blade while the tablet is held still in the cradle.

The pill shooter is the tool a veterinary school recommends over pilling by hand. The tablet sits in a soft rubber tip, the shooter goes in at the side of the mouth to the back of the tongue, and the plunger releases it; water after, especially for a cat, so the tablet does not sit in the throat. What the tools do not decide is whether a tablet may be crushed into food: that is the vet’s call, because some veterinary tablets are coated or slow-release and stop working when they are ground.

This page is general information about medication tools, not medical advice. Whether a tablet may be split or crushed, how much of a medicine to give and what to do about a missed dose are questions for the pharmacist who filled the prescription and the doctor who wrote it.

Every size and colourway in this line is priced on its own; the Ezy Dose catalogue keeps the figures current and the till is what decides.

Questions about Ezy Dose pet pill organizers and cutters

The same tablet, a smaller patient

Can you crush your dog’s tablet with an Ezy Dose pet crusher and hide it in food?

Only if the vet says that tablet may be crushed. Some are coated or slow-release and stop working as powder. When crushing is allowed, the crusher grinds it fine enough to disappear into a spoonful of wet food.

How do you use an Ezy Dose pill shooter on a cat?

The tablet sits in the rubber tip; the shooter goes in at the side of the mouth, over the tongue, and the plunger pushes the tablet to the back where the cat swallows it. Follow with a syringe of water so the tablet goes down rather than lodging in the throat.

Is the Ezy Dose pet weekly organizer different from your own?

Same seven lids and the same plastic; the difference is the marking, a paw or a bone on the lid, so the dog’s box on the counter is never confused with a person’s. It is not child-resistant, and it belongs up and away like any other medicine.
