Question
QUESTION: Hi i have a 6 year old male French Mastiff.He has been on EaglePac Holistic
since he was a puppy .recently  he has been having trouble getting up he has
slowed down and seems to be in pain. once he is up he gets better. He has
had tear stains and he licks his front legs all of the time. I did some research
on his food and found that the company has been sold and saw some people
have been noticing health problems and wanted to look into a different
brand.Thats when i found the Nu Vet labs products and wanted to see what
you think should i stay with the same food and try the supplements or
change foods and try them.I feel that he was in very good shape up until
about 4 months ago and have a vet appointment in two days.
Thanks Kenny

ANSWER: Hi Kenny - I am glad you wrote to me .... Most vets do not know much about supplements and Nutrition.  The will try to sell you PET Tabs - FULL of sugar and Hill's Science diet - FULL of Corn.

Yes, - Let's get this dog on a Large breed Puppy food - See if Wellness or Innova Evo makes a LARGE breed pup food - If Not, check out the Merrick dog food products - for lg. breed pup.
Do a 50:50 mix of the Eagle Pack and the New food for 3 weeks and then go 100% to the New food.

YES, I would love to see this boy on 1 1/2 NuVET wafers per day - the break in 1/2s easy and it is a Nutritional treat.
GREAT for skin, coat, hips, legs , joints..... All the body systems will benefit with a NuVET wafers.

Hi - I was wondering what change you make to your dog's diet?
Did you try any new foods or supplements?
Let me know if you need any more of my help?

Ask the pet Nurse

Hi again -  Yes, any dog that is on the NuJOINT just about always takes the NuVET Plus -
I would order the two - he is a large breed dog and is now middle aged for his breed.  So, yes, the NuJoint and NuVET will be very helpful for your big boy!
Send me a photo - I bet he is a good looking big boy!

Call the NuVET folks tomorrow - they are in from 8-4:30 Calif time zone...
