And petroleum jelly, or both together. Laxatone uses both and soybean oil, for example.

My household loves butter so much that I cannot leave it unattended in the kitchen for even a minute. One of them, usually Tomas, will be in it the second my back is turned. He has tried to grab a half a stick and take off with it before... I caught him before he made it out of the kitchen.

I tried a little unsalted butter today... and it was a hit!! The only really reluctant one was Casper... and after I swiped in his mouth... he went looking for more on the floor... licking up a little dot or two... I then went and got the rest of his dose and he finished it no problem.

Opps.. Glad you caught that Unsalted butter

.. Glad it was a hit hopefully it will do its job..

And if it doesn't, at least its a very popular treat.

But now that they've had a taste of it... never leave any unattended butter out.

I remembered that you said in some previous post - unsalted and frankly... I don't buy any other kind.

If you use it on toast- bread is plenty salt-laden on its own. If you use it to cook, then you salt to taste.

Archie hopped up on the counter and was licking the stick. I will be more careful in the future.

I don't want to be cleaning up buttery puke or diarrhea!
