A modified method of pharyngostomy tube placement was studied in fifteen dogs. Three of them were healthy and conditioned dogs, and 12 have undergone oesophageal surgery. The animals tolerated the tube well. Feeding through the tube and management were relatively uncomplicated and there were no behavioural or structural changes effected by placement of pharyngostomy tube made up of modified polyvinyl chloride.
