Tonight, I started giving Chessie his medication for his heart condition. Essentially, it's a quarter of a tablet a day, which I stick inside of a crunchy treat with a soft inside. The first time I tried it, it fell out before he ate it. The second time, he ate his medicine. I got to thinking afterwards of putting a little dab of peanut butter on the treat to "glue" the two halves back together and hold the medicine in while he eats it. My question is, would it be okay for him to have that small amount of peanut butter once a day if it is just to help him take his medicine?

Hi There,
Yes, a dab of peanut butter would be fine if he likes it. Otherwise, you might want to try a dab of cream cheese instead.
Good luck!

So far, it's working. Last night and the night before, it took a couple tries to get it in him. Tonight, he got it down on the first try.
