Probios Pro-Pill Pods for dogs mask medication taste, odor

MENOMONIE, Wis. — Vets Plus has released an edible product that helps give medication to dogs and contains probiotics. Available in peanut butter and chicken flavors, Probios Pro-Pill Pods mask the taste and odor of medication, resulting in 95% palatability in testing.

“Wrapping the pill can help hide the taste so that the dog doesn’t just spit it out,” Dr. Vijay Sasi, director of technical services and export business at Vets Plus, said.

Probios Pro-Pill Pods are ideal for dogs who are being treated for chronic conditions, according to Sasi. Because maintaining healthy gut microflora can be a challenge for chronically ill dogs, the probiotics in the product restore the balance. 

Pro-Pill Pods do not contain added sugars, corn or artificial colors and are available in two sizes that fit capsules and tablets.
