For many dog owners, medication time can become a battle of wits and patience. Dogs, known for their mental agility, often resist taking pills, even when they are cleverly hidden in their favorite foods.
This daily struggle leads owners to seek creative solutions to ensure their pets receive the necessary treatments. Lorena Moreno seems to have discovered an effective method to overcome this problem. In a video posted by Cabronazi, Lorena shows how "playing with the mind" of her dog can be the key.
As shown in the video, the girl pretends that she is about to give her husky a treat. However, what she is actually handling is the pill that she must take and that, at first, would be rejected if offered directly to her. To prevent this from happening, she decides to pretend to drop it.
In this way, since the animal believes that what it has in its hands is a candy and not a pill, when the ground falls it quickly goes for it. Lorena, to make the situation more believable, also goes for the supposed prize, but cleverly lets the dog eat it.
And, almost uninterested, the animal takes the pill of its own free will, but believing that what it was really going to put in its mouth was an appetizing canine treat. "She swallowed it," says the girl while she laughs and the dog sits patiently to continue eating treats.
This curious method has raised dust on Instagram. There are those who have assured that their dogs only need the pill to be "wrapped in sausage" for them to take it, while others have indicated that "there are some that are very smart and are able to separate it." Cat owners have highlighted that cats would make "a look of contempt" if this trick is played on them.
On the other hand, there are those who consider this practice to be completely counterproductive: "That is a danger. I hope it doesn't happen, but when he finds something on the street that you don't want him to eat... you will remember this. Now, because it solves a problem for you, but dogs generalize and in truth what you are teaching him is that when you want him not to pick up and eat something off the floor: bang!!! He does it."
