I use it to hide pills in. Goldie gets a bit every day with her pill. Preacher gets his thyroid pill at night in it (the other one he gets in cheese). Sometimes if one of them hasn't been eating right or seems off, I'll try to tempt them with canned food. I find they can't resist the Eagle Holisitic Tuna & Shrimp flavor. IF they can resist it, off to the vet the next day cuz something is clearly wrong!
