Our dog is a bit fussy with food and toys. He will only play with some of his toys if a relative's dog is, where he tries to take them off her and run away.

We give our dog his worming tablets once a month. Last month, he ate the tablet without it being shrouded in another food. Today, he was more reluctant to do that, but was told, "Relative's dog name is coming to eat your treat," and he gobbled it up.

That phrase has been working for his dry food, and the treats to help his dental hygiene too :)
