Flavor and inject suspension into a favorite food; neutralize the bitterness, use lots of stevia if needed; they need to avoid shots, which easily cause abscesses. Check what the handler is able to do. Can he / she shoot the liquid into the mouth? Options: Put nonbitter liquid on bread, cover with vegetables. |
Apple, apple / peanut butter, cantaloupe, watermelon, raspberry
They differ in what they like - check with handler. Some things that have worked: cantaloupe, pumpkin, orange, chewing tobacco. |
