Now, as to the pill winding
up on the floor, whenever we give our
dogs pills, we always check the floor next to his food
after he eats if we put it in there, or we watch him until he takes it from our hand and finally swallows, and of course if we have to jam it down his throat, we just watch for a few seconds to make sure he doesn't hack it up. So, it's not uncommon for dogs to work that pill out of whatever treat you put it in.
