Question
First of all Im so Grateful for your help.. I have a pit/mix named Max..I love this dog more than life! Max loves to run loose in the parks,and esp. loves the water.His favorite thing is to catch a ball in the water and bring it back.
Since the last few adventures in the parks I have noticed,(first)that he had small bumps,like mosquitoes bites on his neck and top of head.I bathe him as soon as we get home and now I noticed that his belly is pink (this could be caused by him running up and down the embankments to get to the water.. (Since this is the one thing that Max truely enjoys (as do I).There is no keeping him away from the water and since all the parks I have taken him to have water Im not sure what to do.The pink belly could be caused by him climbing hills,running through weeds etc to get to the water..Max is all muscle and needs to be run...I can't imagine depriving him or myself of this truly exciting and wonderfully uplifting way to spend my days with him...He's so so happy.What should I do? Max has giving me so much joy and getting out(for me)(with him) is very theraputic and has helped me out of my isolation...Please help me.
You have No idea how much this means to me..I do put antibacterial on his bumps. Is there more I should be doing?
Please don't tell me that I cannot let him run free.  It will just shatter me... Really,Thank-You from the bottom of my heart for your time and help......Hugs.Dianna  

Answer
Hi Dianna, Max is having an allergic reaction to his environment.  He can keep up this wonderful therapy for you and him... no problem.. You will need to make some changes with supplements:

Here are my suggestions:

Call Joan today and order some Allergy Help - NuVET Plus wafers - this is a Immune system booster and Allergy fighter!  **excellent and safer for your Max... The NuVET will help him to fight off the allergens in the dirt and grasses.... also, it will reduce any yeast that he has on the skin.  Too much water can cause a yeast problem on his skin and coat.
I want him to take 2 NuVET wafer treats per day - This will cost you 1.10 per day for the NuVET program.
Guaranteed or your money back-
Joan is at 1-800-474-7044 ext 265  ( tell her vet order code 81098)
They can't sell to the public without this order code.
NOT sold in any stores..
you can read testimonials at:

Next, give Max some Acidophilus ( 1 Billion CFUs) - you can give him 2 per day for 1 week , and then drop down to 1 per day.  This is excellent to control yeast in his belly and skin.
YOU can find this in any Health and Beauty section - Walmart or Target Stores..


Keep in contact with me- I would like weekly e-mail report from you and Max...
Don't forget the NuVET can not be found in any stores..
