I have an adorable boxer named Kassie. She is about nine years old (sixty-three in dog years). We recently found out that she has a heart disease which causes her to faint at random times. It took the veterinarians a long to figure out what exactly was wrong. Now that they have correctly diagnosed her heart condition they prescribed a medicine that she must take every morning. So by now you might be wondering what this has to do with peanut butter…I am getting to that. Kassie hated the medicine and would refuse to take it so my mom asked the vets about any advice to give my dog the medicine so her heart will remain healthy. The vets suggested putting the pill in a dish with a little cream cheese. Kassie proceeded to refuse to take her medicine until my mom had a great idea to use peanut butter. After witnessing Kassie lick up the peanut butter remnants after she dropped a sandwich she was making, my mom decided to put her pill in a dish with peanut butter. Kassie no longer refuses to not take her pill and has not experienced any more fainting. She devours it and actually looks for more even after her medicine is gone. My dog is a peanut butter lover and more importantly has a healthy heart!
