BUSTER Tablet introducer hard tip display box 10, One Size, Transparent, 0.23 kg

This is a brilliant product and well worth the money.We have a feisty cat who has an overactive thyroid and needs a tablet once a day, one that cannot be ground into her food. Using this device is really a two person job. Our system is simple. We get her breakfast ready and then load the pill popper. We use slightly warm water rather than cold and our vet said cats quite like the water flavoured with Marmite or something like that.One of us picks her up without using a towel and wraps right hand index and forefinger round her paws , holding her firmly so she can’t scratch. The other then opens her mouth and administers the pill, holds her mouth closed and rubs her chin. Down it goes.Our system took a little practice but after a couple of weeks we got is off to a T. Not using a towel and being efficient in administering the pill reduces stress for her. From picking her up to putting her down for breakfast we can do the whole thing in ten to fifteen seconds flat. Great product.

Following a recent trip to the vets with one of my cats - suspected UTI or cystitis - I decided to buy some medication to give to him on a daily bases - as a future precautionary measure. I have never really found putting tablets in their food quite effective, as either the cat does not finish all of the food leaving some of the powder of the tablet uneaten, or he smells it in the food and avoids it. I opted for one of these pill-poppers having used one before that the vet gave me and finding it useful with another cat I had years ago. It arrived very fast and I gave him his tablet tonight using this. This was so easy..... ah, or so I thought! Apart from having to bear to have someone hold your dear friend while you prise his mouth open and fire the trigger , there is also the fact that it does not always succeed in getting the pill down the cat's throat :/ He was not too impressed and looked rather wide-eyed and startled, but it was down the throat...or was it? Well I thought it was until I then spotted it on the floor! Whether he spat it out afterwards, when he thought we weren't looking, or it just fired in the opposite direction to his mouth. Whatever, it failed and has every time since! Every time it ends up anywhere but down his throat. I have since just prised the capsule in half (as luckily these capsules pull part) and I tip the powder in with his meat and mix it in, he eats all his meat none the wiser ;)This particular tablet I give is long and thin, like a Paracetamol capsule we would take (just a bit smaller). I thought at first this may be tricky as of the shape of the tablet, and it may crush and split it, but it popped in to the claw on the pill-popper easily, just a pity it didn't go down the cat's throat ;)I would recommend this as it does fire extremely well, and I can see it would (with some cats - maybe dogs mainly) make giving tablets so much easier and takes seconds to administer - that is if your cat/dog is compliant!! :P

A simple idea but it works wonders. We have two cats, a big daft Main Coon and a moggy. The MC will eat anything, tablets or otherwise. No problem with him. The moggy is a different story. He'll pick the tiniest tablet out of wet or dry food and will not take them no matter what we tried. This thing is easy - hold him, gently open his mouth, in goes the tablet, all done! Fantastic product that works wonders. Oh, and you can use this as many times as you like, just give it a quick was after use. The 'single use' is just a reference to one tablet at a time, that's all. This thing is great

Why didn't I buy one of these years ago!!! Would have saved me a lot of grief with my previous cats - particularly my dear departed Siamese Henry who used to take 2 of us, even with him wrapped in a towel like a straight jacket, to get a tablet down him - and then he'd spit it out as soon as we let him go!It took me two goes with each of my 2 cats to get the tablet down but once I got the hang of it I had no problem. Did it on my own. Great product.

Firstly this item states "single use" on it. This is not mentioned in the listing details.Then there's the fact that it came loose in an envelope, and there were no instructions with it either.And to top it all off, the very small tablets I tried to give my kittens won't fit in it. They are so small that I can't even halve them. sSo I can't even use this gadget and it is therefore a waste of money. Best investing in something that is adjustable!

Good product, so much easier & less stressful giving my cat his twice daily tablets. Quite a simple design & very lightweight, think it's a bit overpriced & a pack of 2 for the same price would be fair.

This is a little awkward to use with an otherwise healthy cat who needs a daily tablet. Really you need two people to use this if you want to avoid getting bitten or clawed. Some may have more luck and I guess the cat plays a large part in determining the mileage you'll get. I have the equivalent of Ghengis Khan in a fur coat marauding around my house and no matter how philosophical and well adjusted I try to be our encounters usually result in a battle of wills with every minor skirmish resulting in a disgruntled cat and personal tissue damage. This tool is a nice idea and I can see how it could work but for solo operation its not for us.UPDATE - I take it all back, every other method I tried finally got sussed by the cat one way or the other so bandage in hand I returned to this device and persevered with it. Have to say if you get the knack it rapidly becomes a real boon, saving you blood and your cat a great deal of stress. I am converted - get one of these they're ace !

I dreaded giving my cat a worming pill. He was feral and can sometimes be aggressive. The pill I gave him was large {about as big as you can fit in this syringe). I gripped the top of his head with my left hand, pushed down his lower jaw with my right thumb, inserted the tablet syringe and pushed the plunger putting the tablet on the back of his tongue, he swallowed shook his head and trotted off. Was I just lucky? All I can say is it worked for me and Sirius (He's a black cat).
