Hi to All,

Has anyone ever tried or uses NuVet Plus Supplement for their Yorkie.

My Yorkie is a little over 10 years old and I'm starting to see some changes from age. I'm interested if it helped with Allergies,and/or other health issues. It seems her allergies are getting worse as she is getting older.

I do give her a 1/4 teaspoon children's Benadryl. The problem is her nose runs and she licks her nose which in turn is turning leathery and dry and she bites her paws and scratches her ears sometimes.

My Vet said to put some vaseline on her nose and I could give her the benadryl. I'don't want to put her on steroids; as my last dog I had; developed immune problems and passed away only at age 6 which is young for a tiny dog. I'm more conservative now with what I give her. I feed her high quality food, Wellness for Seniors and watch her fat and protein intake.
ANY IDEAS AND OR ANSWERS WOULD BE GREATFULLY APPRECIATED.
