Nutrical is used for small dogs in case their sugar levels drops low (my vet advises it is ALWAYS good to have some on hand..or Karo syrup)..basically little dogs burn so much energy and/or if they skip a meal their blood sugar could drop and they could become hypoglycemic (sp?)...so I hope that helps..I personally give Maximus a lick 1x a day before I leave for work because he get a little wacky..lol, but when he was smaller the vet used to suggest after every meal a little..you can buy at thet vet or petsmart or Petco I believe |
