Question
My Maltese is 8 years old, feeding him is a chore.  You have to pretend that someone is taking his food.  That is how you have to jump start him.  Can you tell my why this is?  He also frequently eats grass and then vomits or has bowel movements, which are soft.  He is on liver pills for his high liver level and he gets his heart worm.  I love him dearly, but he is very high maintenance.  Can you give me a few pointers with him.  If he don't eat, I worry myself sick.  People are getting tired of me pampering hi.  Is this normal for a Maltese?  His name is Quincy.

Answer

NuVET powder / or WAFE

Hello Josephine and little Mr Quincy - Sounds like he is the usual Maltese....PICKY eaters - many of them!
His stools are soft because of the liver and his enzymes.  I can help with that stool problem, too.

1.  HOW about using your food and adding some home cooking ???
SoJO can be fed 1-2 x per day - this is a Holistic and grain-free mix ---- all MOM does is adds the lightly cooked meat ...
Hamburger or Chicken helper for your dog.
YOU can add beef ( just 1-2 x per week), Turkey, Chicken, Lamb or other white meats to the SoJo mix.
They sell SoJO at many pet sotres or FREE shipping to your Door for a USA doorstep address.
WE get ours to our door - Can't beat free shipping.
The GREEN bag is the one you want - grain free

2.  Give this boy some Metamucil Cookie ( apple wafer cookies come in 2 Packs and a box of 12)  this is the Metamucil for people ---- He should eat it as most dogs like it.  Give him just 1/2 of 1 wafer per day - will help bulk up the loose or soft stools.

3.  See if you can get him to take a NuVET wafer each day - If he won't eat it NuVET has a 60 day money back guarantee - TASTE guaranteed..
Or - you can call the NuVET folks and ask for a taste test of the Powder NuVET Plus and the Wafer NuVET Plus -
They will send it right out to you...Tell them Order code 81098 if you want to take advantage of the 15% off.
Tell them YOU are working with Pet Nurse Marie

NuVET will help this kid to Digest his food and not have all the GRASS eating and vomits....  NuVET is also an Immue system booster and skin/ coat healer.
NuVET is all Natural and is safe to give with his medications from the vet.


I hope this helps!!!
