Think of it as giving a kid a candy bar, or "energy bar" before dinner. It decreases the appetite for more nutritious food. However, if a dog is experience an episode of low blood sugar, you want to cure if fast and this is when you should use Nutri-cal. Make sure they have some protein as soon as possible, because the protein will keep the blood sugar stable. Here are some symptoms of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia Symptoms and Treatment

Thanks Nancy! You are such a great help and I love all your advices!
