    Is that OH muttering or Charlie? *snigger*

    Charlie of course! Fancy giving the pot to OH to lick out - that's Charlie's job!

    I've got one!

    Tatze's favourite treat just now is low fat cream cheese, so that's what I'm using and the dispenser is brill brill!

    ;D ;D ;D

    That's great! AND they deliver to Andorra! Woohoo!

    Except ... they're a top-up item. So now I have to go buy something else, too.

    Damn this forum and it's money-spending ways! :D

    Bringing back to life the LSD thread!

    I still use the sardine dispenser occasionally for recall -just to keep the 'jackpot' up to date.

    ;D

    I use these pouches with an elastic round when filled, to make them narrower.

    Does the sardine mixture work ok in these? They are Bella's fave but the thought of stinky fingers has meant they haven't come out on walks yet... ;D

    I need a modification to the LSD filling system...

    I bought a "squeeze and fill" system, but it's bloomin' hard work getting the sardines in...takes ages...suggestions welcome...

    Potential to fill from the other end? Cut off the sealed base area, spoon in the sardines as you like and use a plastic heat seal unit to reseal the bag. You need to keep the area you are going to reseal clear of any filling to get a good seal. The bags won't last as long as they will with filling via the spout but would be easier perhaps and you'd get a few uses from the bags.

    Hmmm...don't have a plastic heat seal unit...although you make a good point, I could go back to the original reusable pouches with the screw tops...

    The bags I get have a side opening, then, when full, I put an elastic round to keep it narrower and to keep the food from the side opening :)

    I wonder whether you might try putting the sardine paste in an ice cube tray to create little blocks that can be frozen...although I realise they might not stay frozen all the way thru your training...just a thought.

    I've been buying dog food in pouches to give my dog a jackpot reward but I'm now definitely going to buy buy sardines and give thema try.

    We use sardines but in a cake mixture, I haven't yet perfected the recipe, but this is how I make it ....to date I think Benson's and Casper's favourite! :) :)

    I use x2 tins sardines (in sunflower oil with the excess drained) oats (80g) and either gram flour (chick pea) or spelt flour (100g) honey 1 tablespoon, one egg,(medium)and to finish a tablespoon fresh parmesan cheese and about 80 -100 mls water.

    I mix the sardines/honey/water (heated with the honey) together then bung the whole thing in the blender/processor until the mixture gets to a sticky consistency then pop in a baking tray in the oven on a medium heat for about 25 mins. I take it out slice into cubes then back in the oven to dry out a bit more. I pop the whole lot in a tupperware container and store in the fridge. :)
