Ha Ha! Yes, I thought the same thing. How on earth would you train a dog to use an inhaler? There is a device called "Aero-Dawg" which I bought from my vet, but petmeds also carries them. The inhaler fits in one end of the chamber, and there is a little mask on the other end that fits over the dog's nose. We trained our dog with tiny pieces of chicken. One puff, one chicken treat. She does not mind the inhaler at all. She uses Flovent, which is a human inhaler. Steroids by inhalation cause much less in the way of side effects. We order her inhalers from a Canadian website so they are reasonably priced at $30 each. She's been using an inhaler for about 3 years now.
