I have no idea where the dog went to, but maybe someone on here does. I heard about your car accident long after and am just glad you are okay. (( hugs ))
My old fanconis boy just wouldn't take the pills.
I tried to hide them in everything, and he would just roll the "item" around in his mouth and spit out the pill.
But your so right.
Getting dogs to take treats, in one gulp is a life saver!
