Thanks to all who replied re the oil of oregano for dogs. My poor boy is so used to having pills and potions put down his throat that he will probably be no problem. Of course, he will mightily appreciate all and any extra treats as I have found that whatever unpleasant things he has to endure, as long as I don¹t forget to treat him, then he still loves me! Bless his furry feet, he is a super dog. dee

I was feeding her shark cartilage caps like mad. I used to cut slits in raw stew beef pieces, chicken livers etc. but..like Smitty said, cheese was the best and easiest. I was giving Princess so many shark cartilage caps tho that I couldn't use the cheese for all of them.
