I have had dogs for the last 30+ years. I must be really fortunate as none of my dogs have ever had a problem taking pills. My current pill-taker, Tucker who...

I have used green beans and / or canned pumpkin (not the pie filling, which has spices, just plain pumpkin) to act as filler for getting weight off my dogs. I...
Butter has always worked best with both of my dogs, one of which is a very picky eater. Dylan, 7yo choc lab - 9/08 UTB Robert Pregulman Stray Dog Designs, West...
I forgot to complete my train of thought to add that she is fed the meal I mentioned twice a day, in addition to getting vitamins and supplements. Don't want...
Hi Mia and Lisa, I am actually on both lists - and my Lab who underwent Dr. Sadanaga's procedure 2.5 weeks ago is doing tremendously well. So well, in fact,...
Teach your dog to take pills with TicTacs or Pez, as long as they're not the diet kind. You want real sugar in them, not any sugar substitute which can be...
Sorry Linda, I always forget to include my name when sending messages. My name is Tina, my dog is Roary and we live in Scottsdale Arizona. The therapist...
Our vet forbade us to give pills after surgery alone unless they were in a ball of food. I know each vet is different and we didn't want to take the risk of...
Just a quick (and happy) up date regarding my sweet baby Jasmine gurrrl... It's been 2 weeks ago today since the infamous bloat incident and she's holding her...
There you go! Thank you. I knew there was a solution. A compounding pharmacy – of course. And I will try the multi-meatball trick. You have so many ...

Hi Andrea, Perhaps this new family member is a gift and you just don't know it yet? Before you feel like screaming (again, only at me this time), it's been my ...
I haven't written in some time. Maggie had LP surgery about a year ago and did very well. Unfortunately, we were not as lucky this year. Maggie had been sick...
