Gotta Love Skippy!

If you find yourself taking a road trip with your pooch, one of the things that I like to try and remember to take with me is PEANUT BUTTER!  #gottaloveSkippy

Peanut butter comes in handy and could (probably should) even be added to [dog medical kits].  A couple of great things about peanut butter is: It keeps for a long time and doesn’t have to be refrigerated after opening!

Peanut butter comes in handy in a variety of situations such as:

[checklist]

  • You never know if your pup is going to get hurt on a trip (you definitely hope this doesn’t happen but it’s always great to be prepared) and you have to give them medication.  You can hide the pill in the peanut butter;
  • Again, on the medication-giving-note, if your pup has to take their common medication (especially those medications that require them to have food on their stomachs), gotta love peanut butter to help with that process;
  • You get stuck in traffic for a LONG time (gotta love I-80 traffic back-ups in heavy storms) and you AND the pups need a snack;
  • Another tip for traffic and peanut butter use:  Fill a Kong with peanut butter and let them chew on it for a while.  This will keep them busy, which is especially great if there is no safe place to let them out to stretch their legs;
