I want to clarify, when I said preventative it is what I did because of my experience with my particular dog's vulnerability. Every pup is unique. And I am not a breeder or an expert, I've only learned from this forum and my own research and experience with my furkids. Please listen to those more experienced than me, glean and learn from everyone and apply the best to your situation. Being susceptible to hypo appears to be related to weight more than anything, I've heard of full grown dogs that had problems with it if they were teenies. But, I could be wrong on that, in other words, read and then confirm!!! Mine are fortunately over a year old now and right around 5/6lbs, hale and hearty.
