I've tried for years to get pills in my dogs hidden in wet food with minimal success. Cheese usually works but I don't always have it around. These nuggets are PERFECT for hiding meds! If I crumble one up and put the pill in the middle of the "nugget pile", my dogs both snarf the food so readily they don't even notice - and the medicine doesn't melt and have a yucky taste. I got these initially for my dog recovering from dental surgery to make him a nice soupy meal and they were perfect.
