If Stedman is eating like he should be, 2-3 times a day, then I would not give him NutriCal. If you are going to be gone from the house for awhile, give him a healthy treat before you leave, like a nice sized dog biscuits or something. That is what I do with mine. Every morning before I leave the house, they get a treat. This helps to maintain their bloodsugar without giving them pure "sugar," which is basically what Nutri-Cal is, and it helps clean their teeth at the same time!  Then when I go home for lunch, they eat a meal and then before I leave to come back to work, they get another dog biscuit and they are good to go until I get home in the evenings when they are free fed. |
That's a good plan!
I've never given Ferdinand any NutriCal before. I don't think I would give it to him unless he was sick. Like a human, if you're using is unnecessarily, wouldn't it just spike their blood sugar only to make them crash when it wears off?
