I have house and dog sit for some friends of mine when they were out of town and traveling. They had 2 small inside dogs and two large outside dogs. I had to give meds to the outside dogs because one had thyroid issues and one had seizures. I house sat and dog sat for extended amounts of time. I did this with a couple of different families. When I gave the dogs their meds, I would put it in a piece of cheese so it made them able to swallow it more easily.
