I think, but I'd have to look, that Nutrical has more than just sugar in it. Plus, it's easier to give for many bc it is more of a "gel" that they'll just lick right off your finger (vs. runny like karo).

Your breeder should know whether or not your pup has had hypoglycemic events - that's important to know. If she hasn't had any, she still may need some after car rides or after anything that causes sudden stress. Also, her size may matter - if she is very small, she may need more nutritional support.

I gave Marcel Nutrical every morning upon waking and right before bed - just to make sure he had something in his tummy between long lapses in feeding; I did this until he was 6 mths old. He never had any hypo events as a puppy, even w/ his breeder, but both the breeder and I thought it'd be a good preventitive measure during his transition to my home. Plus, Marcel is a tiny - so it's best to be proactive rather than reactive.
