Thanks Rose and everyone for all the great ideas! I'm gonna try everything until I find something that works. I'm starting with peanut butter tonight since that's the only thing I have right now. If that doesn't work, I'll be going to the store tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I just clicked on the link I sent.. goes to the Wal Mart ad.. well that's the right product, but I mean't to send the link to the Jones website here <http://www.jonesdairyfarm.com/Braunschweiger-Liverwurst-Sliced-Sandwich\ -Size-Slices-12-oz--P104C9.aspx> . Same thing. I've tried so many things to get the dogs to take meds. I hate to have to force them to take anything, that's a last resort. ~R --- In [email protected], "meccarose" <meccarose@...> wrote: > > That's strange.
