Healthy puppies do NOT need nutrical as a part of their daily diet. The over use and constant suggestion of this as a cure all for any problem is just exasperating. Nutrical CAN be very useful in certain circumstances...such as, an overstimulated or very stressed pup who might have a hypoglycemic issue. A pup who is not eating for an extended period of time(should be vet checked anyway). A very tiny pup, used as precautionary if hypoglycemia is suspected or a history of episodes are apparent.
The use of Nutrical as a part of a daily diet actually will inhibit the natural intake of your pups regular food and you can create a finicky eater.
Daily use can also render it less effective when needed for a true hypoglycemic problem. If they are used to a higher sugar balance in their system all the time, they can't be developing the proper mechanism to balance naturally. Imagine giving your children a lollipop with a coke to wash it down everyday. A healthy pup should get it's nutritionally needs from it's regular food.
Please do not put this stuff on their nose...they can inhale it and cause respiratory problems.
