How Do you give Nutri-Cal to your babies? Princess has not eaten hardly at all today, so my fiance and I bought soem nutri-cal. Problem is, she doesnt seem to like it. I put some on my finger and my fiance opened her mouth--but she squirmed and a lot of it got in her hair (I cannot wait to comb that!!). It seems too thick to put in a syringe, how does everyone else give it to their yorkies? :confused: |
Dont Laugh Hehe You Know How I Give It Too Misty I Get The Special K CEREAL And I Make A Sandwich With It Thats The Only Way She Will Eat It :D |
Sweatpea thanks! That was such a great idea! I just out soem on a treat, and she took it right down! Thanks so much!!! :thumbup: |

Pippa was verrry suspicious of Nutrical at first, I would just squeeze a little out of the tube, she'd sniff it and walk away. After a while she came back and sniffed to tube on the coffee table, so I tried again-one lick and she was hooked. She loves the stuff now-in fact she gets excited just to see the tube. It has become the treat for brushing her hair at night! |
Gucci likes it too.I just place some on my hands and she will lick it off. Also I put some on her treats or food and she will eat it all up. I dont use it anymore, only when she is not eating. |
If you really cannot get them to take the nutri cal and it is urgent to do so, just stick the end of the tube in her mouth and squeeze some(no more than the size of a pea) under the side of her tongue. She will like it once she settles down and gets a good taste. Later when she is eating well give her a little on your finger as a treat. I have had to do that many times..The nutrical sandwich sounds like a good idea... |
I also force fed it to my babies for a few days, but now they love it. It is good to get them used to it, just try a pea size every day until they lick it off your finger. Then when you want them to have it, it is no problem. I recently had pups, 8 weeks ago, and I wanted my mom to eat nutrical every day - no problem. |
Yes. Once they get a taste of it, they would eat the whole tube if you let them! :p |
Ok- this will seem like a silly question.... Ok- this will seem like a silly question.... but where in the pet store do you find nutri- cal? I have went into my local Petco several times and searched for it, finally I asked an associate who didn't know what I was talking about, then she asked the manager who also didn't know what I was talking about. :confused: He told me to look in the vitamin section (which I did, again) and if it wasn't there then they probably did have any. Gee, thanks for all your help... :thumbdown I find it hard to believe that they are ALWAYS out it when I am there... what section should I be looking in? |
We got ours from the Vet, but I've seen it in Petco near the vitamins. It's funny, both Bandit and now Tucker loved the stuff! Megan just holds the tube up in the air, squirts some out and Tucker eats it! (He'll eat anything that one!) |
I usually find it, top shelf near vitamins, goats milk and such. It comes in a box, sorta like toothpaste, but they stand it up on it's end. Hope that helps. I think the box is White as the main color. |
Both my babies LOVE Nutrical so I can't help. When I give them their heart worm pill every month, I put it in a glob of Nutrical and they gobble it up! |
Thanks! I will look near the vitamins the next time I am in there. |
I give it to Baci the same way you said but he's a good boy and lets me open up his mouth then I put it on his tongue and he licks it all up. ;) |
