I'm pretty sure the original recommendation for daily Nuti Cal was for the 7 wk old puppy she started with not the 12 week old. Seven weeks is awfully young and those of us that are not breeders would rather be safe than sorry. My breeder (very reputable) recommend keeping it on hand and so does my vet. Sugar is 3 lbs at 1 1/2 years old and you bet I keep it on hand. Occasionally he refuses breakfast and I give him a pea size. We haven't had any problems and he is a healthy little boy. I don't think anyone is saying they should have it every day for life.
