Try not to touch the tramadol with your fingers when wrapping it in something as the residue / powder from the tablets will get on your fingers and on the outside of the treat you are wrapping it in. Pour the tablet out onto the counter and then drop a piece of cheese over the tablet or something else you can wrap around the tablet. Give several pieces without the tablet first and then give her the piece with the tablet in it after. If you crush it and mix it with something, it will taste bitter regardless. The easiest way is to keep it in tablet form. I hope this helps!
