I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | How many of you give Nutri-Cal on regular basis? Just curious to see how many of us here give their Yorkies Nutri-Cal on a regular basis? And not just those with BABIES, but those with even ADULT Yorkies? How many of you actually BUY this on a regular basis? I work at home, so I am here with Stedman all day. However, whenever I leave the house, I give him Nutri-Cal - and sometimes I will give him some "just because"...and also because he eats like a little bird! And because he is so little. Although I don't give it to him as much as I used to because I am here pretty much all day to watch him, but I ALWAYS have Nutri-Cal on hand. So what is your routine with Nutri-Cal? Do you usually give it daily? Or only when you have to leave them alone? Just curious to see what everyone does!

| Jewelina gets some in the afternoon, and right before bed. If I ever have to leave her for any amount of time she gets some then too. Jaden gets nutri-cal on some days when he seems like he doesn't feel well or right before we're going for a long walk or if I'm going to be gone for more than 3 hours. He does well with his eating and has never had a hypglycemic episode so I'm usually not too worried about him if he has food out. |

| I used to do that everyday since Haruka had hard time eating as a puppy, but now she eats and eats and eats... so I stopped

| I used to give Rocky some every morning with his medicine. I haven't given it to him in a couple of months, except a couple weeks ago when I was going through his diaper bag and found it. He loves the stuff though! I think I should use it for training, LOL

| It is not good to give Nutri-Cal to a healthy adult yorkie who is eating regularly. Yorkies over 12 weeks of age are able to regulate their blood sugar on their own. Giving Nutri-Cal unnecessarily can easily lead to diabetes. Please be very careful giving Nutri-Cal unnecessarily. |

| I ALWAYS have it on hand. It also helps to stimulate an appetite when they're poor eaters. |

| I only use it when they are sick, not eating, or we have a long day planned away from the house. Otherwise, she never really needs it. |
