HOLD IT, PLEASE DON'T THINK EVERTHING YOU READ ON THE DIET FORUM IS GOOD ADVICE!!

There is no need to rush out and buy Nurti Cal. Nutri-cal is a supplement that is made from and easy to digest sugar and a small amount of vitamins to make it sound healthy. It nutritionally no different form Karo syrup, which is corn syrup, a sugar. Sugar is useful in treating a dog that has hypoglycemia, which can be a problem with toy dogs and especially the very tiny puppies. If your dog is showing no signs of hypoglycemia there is no reason to give him sugar or Nutri-Cal. I wouldn't feed the dog sugar to make the poop firmer, certain things added to dogs foods such as beet pulp do this. Maybe finding a different dog food might help, how soft is it? Also be careful with broth, some are too high in fat and salt.
