Nothing - I always thought it would be waaay too messy, and she's quite happy playing for hours with them as they are.
Do they not leave a slobbery mess all over the carpet?

peanut butter and iams biccies all mixed up - takes her ages to lick it all out!

She is beautiful,i am so glad for you that everything has worked out in the end.It does surprise me though that it is so hard to find a dog to give a home to,i thought there were thousands needing homes.or was it just a terrier you wanted? Even so,i bet you didn't htink it would be hard!!

Do keep us posted,and lots of photos please!!

I get Tescos own brand pate, which is 26p a tube, to put in the kongs. It does about 8 kongs, so it's good value.

I forgot pate! I sometimes get the tesco's one too! (and sneak it into OH's sandwiches when he isn't looking as well ) The dog loves it.
Also got really cheap liver sausage which was reduced in Somerfield, he loved that too.

Thank you She's an absolute sweetheart.

We wanted a 'small' dog, we weren't fussed which breed/age/sex - we just prefered a yorkie as we have four dogsworth of experience with them. The ones who were available were like £300+ and we just didn't have that, we wanted to give a dog a good home.

And along came Molly

Out of 5 rescue centres the smallest they had was a Staffy and we wanted smaller

another good one - is wedge the hole at the end with biscuits etc - adn get a cheap angel delight sachet form mr T - think its liek 3 - 5p abd put that in and some iams biscuits in the kong - freeze it - acts as a nice ice lolly on a cold day

Or do the same - block the end with cheese, stand kong in a cup - fill it with homemade stock and freeze. works well to chill them down too - you could add straggles of meat to it as well i suppose

Ok we are back to square one, 2 sucessful short trips and the last 2 disaster,

yesterday being bad, poor perry 3 mins down the road and he pooped and was sick.
that was with 2 travel eze as he is now 5kg.

The vet this morning recommend kwells kids but i didn't ask the doesage, i have the kewlls now but not sure if 1/2 a tablet maybe too much.

he is a jrt 16 week puppy 5kg.

my dog use to be sick every time she got in the car no matter how far we were going, short/long.
she is now just over 1 year old and loves the car she will go and sit in the car all day if it was up to her!
she always has the back of the car to herself (the back seats) so i put some toys in there a old duvet & cushions, kept some water in the back if we were going long journey to clean up as best we could.

we got our dog from dogs trust and know she was abondoned & hates loud noises & cars so we knew it was this, is there anything like that with your pup?
my dog is still sick a few times a week as she has a few probs, like probs with stomach & digestion,
maybe your pup will grow out of it??

not sure of any dosage
good luck tho

I've tried everything, even bought a back seat cover for him,

funny thing is he was on a harness the 2 times he was sick
