Pill Crusher and Grinder for Vitamins, Tablets with Storage Compartment, Kids, Pets, Elderly, Effortlessly Crushes Medications into Fine Powder, Easy-to-Use Design, Blue, BPA Free

Works like it should. Pills are crushed into powder. Found the same pill crusher at a well known pharmacy after I purchased this one-Amazon’s price was cheaper. Very happy!

My dog is the type to find and spit out any pill you try to sneak to him, whether you said it in peanut butter or any of his favorite treats, and this has helped save us from being to force pills into his mouth - we're able now to just crush his pills and put it in his food dish (we do typically give a little vegetable broth as well to help cover up the taste) and he's now taking his meds so much easier. Functionally it works well, I find that sometimes unscrewing and rescrewing the lid will make it easier to crush if your pill is larger or of you have multiple.

I'll start off by saying that this isn't a "new" product for me, exactly. Rather, it's just me buying the smaller version of a larger unit which I've been using, happily, for years. My wife and I own pets, and over the years, several of these pets have needed to receive medicine at times. Now, giving cats, in particular, medicine is... challenging, at best. ("Impossible" at worst!) My wife is able to stick a pill down a cat's throat using her finger, but I can't make myself do that... call it a phobia if you like, but the idea of harming the animal sort of freaks me out. Using "Pill pockets" or other "food wraps" is pretty effective... until the first time that the cat bites down and discovers what's inside. After that, using "pill pockets" becomes essentially impossible. So, I'll use that approach if I can, but often can't. SO... the last trick, which works nicely when the pill involved isn't TOO nasty-tasting, is this: crushing it and mixing it into food. Usually a pretty fragrant food, which they're really fond of, works best. This WON'T work for particularly terrible-tasting pills, but for most, it works pretty well. And the larger version of this has been what I've been using to do my pill-crushing for about fifteen years now. The only complaint I ever had with this was that the compartment seemed too large for the volume of crushed pill powder I was left with once done. Well, I'm going to be away for a while, and I'm taking my two furrballs with me (while the others will stay with her), and I needed my own copy for this period. I was assuming I'd just get the same one, but was pleasantly surprised to find that there's a smaller version as well. The smaller version is far better suited to the amount of medication you'll usually give to pets, or to small children. The larger one is best suited, honestly, to "adult-sized" doses, in my opinion. It's trivially easy to use. Drop the pill(s) into the compartment, and screw the top section in. I'll usually screw and unscrew the last portion several times to ensure that I get the pill fully crushed. I then simply remove the top (tapping it on the side of the crushing compartment if there's any residual pill powder on the "core" of it), and then just dump the contents of the crushing compartment over the food (again, tapping it if necessary to get as much out as possible. If you're using the same medicine every time, there's no real need to wash it every time, but if you're doing multiple types of medications using one crusher, you'll likely want to wash it off every time. That's easy... dishwashing soap and a nice hand washing works perfectly, along with air drying (I doubt it's "dishwasher safe," however, so don't try that!) It's a very simple design... not many chances for things to go wrong... but it works very, very well. It reminds me of my own childhood, with my mom crushing stuff with a spoon to give to the kids. This is much, much better. If you have a need to do what this does... you're not going to find many better options.

This pill grinder is very easy to use and gets the job done in seconds. I like that it crushes small and large pills and you can do multiple pills at the same time. It has the look and feel of a toy which make it kind of fun to use and seems to be built from similar durable toy-making material.

Great little device! Easy to use. Easy to clean. Crazy to store. Easy to find (for those using a junk drawer). I keep one with my pets’ things. I’ve had one for years. It shows no wear. I can crush pills with a twist of the wrist. I bought this one for the medicine chest.

I use this to crush pills/medication for my pet and it works well. I find crushing pills into powder form and adding it to wet food makes it easier for the animal to get the correct dosage.

I really like this Ezy Dose pill crusher. It is very simple to use, crushes pills without a lot of force, and is easy to clean. The whole process is very quick...you put the pill into the container, screw the top on and turn it until it stops. That's it. When you unscrew it the crushed pill is sitting in the container. Since the container is deep, it's impossible to spill the crushed powder until you physically turn the container upside down. One thing I really love about this Ezy Dose pill crusher is you can control how crushed you want the pill to be, whether it be just a few small pieces or a fine powder. After using it a few times you get a feel for how to achieve the level of crushed you want. I don't have any problems with my hands, but I feel comfortable saying anyone with arthritis or hand pain will find this pill crusher very easy to use. It doesn't require a lot of muscle or strength to turn the top to crush pills. I think anyone with sore joints or lack of strength will appreciate the simplicity of this pill crusher. I've tried a few different pill crushers, but this is my favorite one. The price is fantastic, it's simple to use and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Very happy customer! Definitely recommend.

It works really well, is easy to grip, and can hold many pills but the size makes it hard to travel with. Definitely wouldn’t stow in a pocket or anything.
