Indeed.  Worth every penny as far as my parents are concerned.

Sure, you can force a dog to take a pill that it doesn't want to, but that's a pain, and can result in things like the dog avoiding you when it's pill time, making it even more of a pain, depending on the dog, yuckiness of the pill, and the duration of the medical treatment.

But stick the pill in a little pocket thing, close it up, then chuck it at the appropriate dog, who promptly hovers it up because, well, there's 2 others dogs willing to eat it if they don't?  Easy, and greenie's aren't all that much more expensive than regular treats.
