Bark Out Loud
Bark Out Loud Treats, Food and Easy Pill
Bark Out Loud is an Indian pet care brand from Vivaldis Health and Foods. Most people find it through one product: Easy Pill, the soft treat you wrap a tablet in so your pet swallows it without a fight. The rest of the range is treats, cat pillows, dental and coat sticks, and small trial packs of dry food. Animeal stocks it as part of a licensed veterinary pharmacy, so you can buy the treats and the medicine they are meant to hide in the same order.

How Do I Get My Dog to Take a Tablet?
This is the question we get asked at the counter more than almost any other. A vet writes a course of antibiotics for ten days. The dog takes it twice and then learns what the tablet looks like. By day four you are prying a jaw open.
Hiding a tablet in food usually fails because the dog can smell it. Cheese and butter work for a while, then stop. Crushing a tablet into food is worse, because many tablets are coated for a reason and crushing them changes how they are absorbed. It also makes the whole bowl taste bitter, so the dog stops eating dinner too.
A pill masking treat works differently. It is a soft, mouldable paste you press around the tablet so the medicine is completely sealed inside. There is no exposed edge to smell. The treat is strong smelling enough to cover what is inside it.
The technique matters as much as the product:
- Pinch off a piece and roll it into a ball
- Give one empty ball first, with no tablet in it. Then a second empty one. Your pet learns this is a treat, not a trick
- Now give the one with the tablet sealed inside
- Follow it with one more empty ball, so the last thing they remember is a plain treat
That four-ball sequence is why it keeps working on day nine. Skip it and you are back to prying the jaw open by day four.
Easy Pill Dog and Easy Pill Cat Are Not Interchangeable
Do not give the dog version to a cat. Bark Out Loud makes two separate products and labels the dog one for dogs only. The formulas and the bar sizes are different. The cat version comes in smaller bars because a cat needs a much smaller ball of paste to seal a much smaller tablet.
Both are made around micronised chicken meal to cover the smell of the medicine, duck fat for flavour, and glycerine to keep the paste soft. Bark Out Loud states it does not interfere with how the medicine works, and reports a 90 percent acceptance rate in dogs in its own testing. Once a bar is opened it keeps at room temperature for about three months.
If your pet is on a prescription and you are not sure whether a masking treat suits that specific medicine, ask us. Some medicines are meant to be given on an empty stomach, and a few should not be given with fat. That is a thirty second question for our pharmacist and worth asking.
What Else Bark Out Loud Makes
Treats for dogs
Chicken swirls, red velvets, red heart treats, mini fishes and a veggie bacon treat for vegetarian households. Mostly 100g packs in the ₹250 to ₹300 range. These are training and reward sized, not meal replacements.
Cat pillows
Crunchy pockets in two versions: a hairball control pillow and a sensitive stick. The hairball one is the more useful of the two if you have a long haired cat that brings up hairballs after grooming itself.
Dental and coat sticks
A dental stick for chewing, and Coatiez for skin and coat. A daily chew helps with plaque, but it is a supplement to brushing, not a replacement for it.
Dry food trial packs
100g extra small packs of chicken and grain adult, chicken and grain puppy, and salmon and turkey adult, at ₹100. These exist to let you test whether your dog will eat a food before you buy a full bag. Use them that way.

What is Easy Pill used for?
Easy Pill is a soft, mouldable treat you wrap around a tablet, capsule or liquid medicine so your pet swallows it without tasting the medicine. It is for pets that refuse tablets or spit them out.
Can I give Easy Pill Dog to my cat?
No. Bark Out Loud labels the dog version for dogs only and makes a separate cat version in a smaller bar size. Buy the one that matches your pet.
Does Easy Pill stop the medicine from working?
Bark Out Loud states it does not interfere with the action of the medicine. That said, a few medicines need an empty stomach or should not be given with fat. If your pet is on a prescription and you are unsure, ask our pharmacist before you start.
Are Bark Out Loud treats safe to give every day?
Treats of any brand should stay under about 10 percent of your pet's daily calories. The rest should come from a complete food. If your dog or cat is putting on weight, treats are usually the first place to cut.
