Question

Lucy
Hi Marie,
Our puppy Lucy is 5 months old and we have been feeding her twice a day.We feed her Nitro puppy food. At her age does she need any Vitamins? Also what kind of shampoo is good for her?My son gave her a bath yesterday using human shampoo. Is that bad??  How often should we bathe her?

Answer
       Vitamins and Supplements for bulldog puppy;
Hello Stuart - OH, Lucy is a doll!  I would love to help you and your new gal.
Yes, you are correct about the Shampoo - Don't use the human shampoo on your Lucy.
Please look for a good Holistic and Natural Puppy Shampoo.  
Please don't wash her more than 3 x per month - otherwise, her skin will Dry out.
For daily clean ups you can use a Waterless Foam Bath like Miracle coat foam.
Miracle Coat Foam bath ( waterless bath) can be used with a baby wipe.
For a REAL BAD mess, she will need a tub bath with pup shampoo.

For Vitamins/ Supplements :
Dog foods can be wonderful but in the Cooking Process many of the vitamins and nutrients are killed by the high heated cooking.
So yes, some light supplements can be very helpful to any dog or cat.
The one many of my clients take is NuVET....

 PLEASE try the NuVET Plus - This is an Immune system booster to help to fight off the YEAST and allergies.
NuVET will help to keep her healthy and protects her knees, hips and joints from injury.

**Can't get  NuVEt at any pet store: must be ordered here:

They give you a 60 Day money back guarantee...

I would give your Lucy take 1 NuVET wafer per day*****

NuVET Plus is just like a treat... it is Natural and Holistic.

SEE my bullie clients here:

Tell them you are working with Marie Peppers order code 81098 of ASK the Pet Nurse
1-800-474-7044 ( they are open M-F 8-4 Calif time zone)
ASK them about the 15% off on autoships .... save 15 % on every bottle.
It will cost you about .65 CENTS per day to give Lucy this NuVET supplement treat.


As far as the Nutro pup food :  It is ok but has too many fillers in the ingredients.
I would slowly switch her to Innova PUPPY or Wellness Puppy -  you can do the Nutro and mix in one of the new foods - A 50:50 mix for about 30 days....and then go to the new better quality food.
Nutro is just an average food and you can get much better for your Lucy.

BEST wishes and Keep me posted

I am her for you!
