| Nuti-cal Hello Everyone, Jaci is 4 mo and when I got him from the breeder she gave me a tube of Nuti-cal to give to him twice a day to keep his blood sugar up. I was just wondering if there is another alternative. She said the tubes were expensive and I am almost finished with mine. Is there something that I can buy at the store that has the same benefits? And is not harmful to him? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

| Thank you, I will look there but if I run out before I can get to the store is there anything else I can use? My mother is coming to visit and I dont plan on going to the pet store while she is here.

I agree... you shouldn't have to supplement a well balanced diet. You could give him a few Honey Nut Cheerios as a snack (to keep his sugar level up)... but he really shouldn't need it. You should keep a tube of Nutri-Cal around the house ... just in case. Best of luck!

| providing the weight is a good weight meaning your puppy isnt underweight for his/her frame there is no reason for daily or regular use of nutrical... A 5 month old that is maturing normally and has a balance diet should need it at all. hope this helps
