If you can get him to eat it and that's the biggy, try a pill instead of the capsule, because a pill can be cut up into real small bits and hidden better for picky eaters, I know this one , I do this for Sprockets heart worm pills. Might work who knows, good luck

To be honest Pnut is very fond of Pnut butter lol only when Dh is eating some!!

Elvis get's boiled chicken stock with raw vegis for his-powder.

Well its organic, the only ingredients are sweet potatoes and water, it says no added sugar or salt. I assume what sugar is in there is the natural sugar from the sweet potatoe.

It is daily, he needs his pill once a day, however I am only giving him less then a teaspoon!!

I have read on other posts that the babyfood is fine. But you could also just use a reg sweet potato. Cook in microwave add not butter or salt. Just a little every day should be fine. Good luck, daily pills are always tricky.

Oh that's a good idea!! . Yes the everyday pills are hard- I try to give him healthy things too. I had him on wet food, but no matter the brand he was so itchy. Since I took him off the wet food he is soo much better! Now the hard thing is finding him healthy food he likes and is good for him!

Just want to remind you that onions and garlic are natural and organic, even the botulinum toxin is natural and organic! So being natural and organic doesn't mean much, only that the produce is fertilized with things like manure instead of other types of manmade plant food. Look on the ingrediant list to see what it actually contains.

Yup I did, it says sweet potato and water. It also says no added sugar or salt, no preservaties, organically grown without potentially harmful pesticides or herbicides.

Princess eats Sweet Potato and Sweet Potato & Chicken for meds & for a special treat when needed. I use about about a tsp. & smear it around to make her think she's getting more. The Beech Nut chck. & pot. have "swt. pot., water & finely ground chicken".
I'd bet the powder would easily be disguised in a baby food.

I give mine baby food as well- no problems- the vet says it is fine.

Check the ingredients well- many have onion or garlic and some of the fruit ones have grape juice. But otherwise its fine.

Oh good, that's the reason I liked the baby food bc all it has is sweet potato and water.. with no added sugar and salt! Its some organic kind- I don't like how it is .89 cents a can, but Pnut laps it up- I'm talking he licks the bowl clean!!

Yes the baby food works great- he licks it all up so I know he gets his whole pill!!

P.s. how long can I keep the food!? I opened it yesterday, the jar says keep for 3 days... I highly doubt I will use it all within 3 days- he only gets a teaspoon once a day...?

Buy the smallest jars like the 1 oz & t can keep 5 days past expiration date refrigerated if it has preservative in it once opened.

It doesnt have preservatives- so maybe three days- that's what the jar says

Hi, Romeo has baby food for lunch every day. He will only eat Apples & Chicken. Gerber 2nd Foods has changed the mix of ingredients and he refuses to eat it now. However, I found Beech Nut Apples & Chicken which Romeo's taken a strong liking to. Baby food was approved by Romeo's vet so I feel 100% safe feeding this to him.
