Taking medication effectively

I use various systems to try to give my two dogs their assorted medication correctly, including a spreadsheet with every eyedrop/dose etc marked on it which I  tick off. But I still make mistakes. What advice do people have for making sure they give the right medication at the right time in the right dose to the right dog?? Thanks!

Hello - My suggestions would include:  a) an alarm on your phone, timed for an appropriate time of day, which you can reset if necessary.  b) linking the habit of giving your dog a tablet, to something that is already a nightly habit in your own life eg straight after taking your own medication, or taking your make-up off (if you do that every night), or as the bongs go before watching the news (if you do that), or immediately on getting up from eating dinner, or after closing the dishwasher after dinner, or on letting your dog out for their last wee, or while you're making your coffee when you get in from work etc.  If it becomes automatic that you perform one habit after doing another, you are more likely to remember.   c) Putting a tablet into a particular container (maybe a small dish, such as you can pick up from charity shops) at the start of the day (again, link it to an existing morning habit) and then checking that place before you go upstairs every night, to make sure that it has happened.  This is a good back-up for the other techniques.  However, there are risks involved eg the leaving out of a tablet - your pet / kids mustn't get to it -  and degredation of the tablet, which you would have to weigh up.  d) A week-labelled tablet box - you can buy them, with a segment for every day, so you can look back and see whether the tablet has already been given on that day.  Dementia charities often stick them; they can be useful fir anyone e) routinely ticking your diary when you have given the tablet, perhaps moving the tablet to the time of day when you definitely check your diary (check this is ok with your vet).  I empathise a lot with this difficulty and hope that something there proves helpful.

Ah - I see that there is more than one dog!  A separate, labelled (different colour?) 'day of the week' tablet box for each dog would be useful in that case!
