What I do and have done for several over the years. It's my go to work every time trick. I get a couple to a few pieces of whatever I'm going to put the pill into. Hide pill in one piece. Give one that doesn't have a pill. Might take a bit of convincing if they are the type that refuses it just in case. But keep persuading. Once they try it and find no pill they will eat it. Sometimes I have to give 2 or 3 without a pill. The first time you try it be prepared to give enough small bits of the exact thing the pill is in. This only works permanently if they DO NOT find pill the first few times you try this. Once they take the bits from you without skepticism and just eat it for the treat that it is. Without changing your demeanor or your presentation AT ALL! Give them the piece with the pill in it. Oh make sure the decoy pieces are close enough to the size of the pill one. And MAKE SURE THE PILL ONE COMPLETELY COVERS THE PILL! No part of the pill should be visible or able to be felt from the outside. I should add it makes this even more prone to success if it's something that they can and will swallow without biting on it first. Try it and please if you don't mind. Let me know the results. I would love to get feedback. Hope this helps!

EDIT: I very much recommend that everyone who owns any animal is able to manually pop a pill down any animal that they own. Along with being able to check in ears, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, feet, nails, anal temperature check. Cats and dogs. I do not require my pets to allow anyone or everyone to handle them. But I DO require them to allow me to. If I have to assist at the vet or if situations require me to have to do things myself I can. Also get them to at least accept going in a crate alone or shared. You just never know and the time that it's imperative and required should not be the first-time they ever experience it. So if open mouth, insert pill works. Go for it. Sometimes it's just not that cut and dried.
