| Mine get wellness bloodwork every year at their annual checkup. Vitamins are good. I myself wont buy hartz products because they carry a very dangerous flea shampoo dogs have had reaction, sometimes deadly to. But that is me and I dont know anything about their vitamins

| The blood check is excellent, however, I would think his teeth are probably ready for a cleaning depending on his age? If there teeth are infected or loose, they will have difficulty eating kibble. I agree that Hartz products are substandard. Warmly, Deborah

| I have been giving my babies "Pet-tabs plus" advanced complete daily vitamin-mineral supplements for dogs. I bought them at Petsmart, but have seen them at different places. Lola, who incidentally used to be poo-poo but now doesn't because she gets a vitamin, gets a 1/4 of a tablet and Valentino gets 1/2 a tablet. They love them and think they are getting a treat.

| When Hallee was hypgycemic I rushed her to the vet..her signs were no energy, grayish gums and tongue. I would take your baby to another vet. They tested her blood and put her on IV because her sugar was too low. This is what happened to us and maybe your situation is different. If your baby is not eating give nutrical.

| It is a nutritional suppliment wth sugar in it. You give it to dogs if they are sick to prevent hypoglycemia
