Question
Hi Marie,  I spoke with you this morning about my mastiff that quit eating.  I took stool sample to vet as you suggested and it was neg.  Made appt. to take him in and happened to think I had been adding NUPRO powder to his food lately.  One time it had made him vomit and I thought maybe that was the problem.  Came home and gave him my homemade recipe without the Nupro and he inhaled it!  I don't know what he didn't like about the Nupro.  My other dogs love it!  I was wondering if you could tell me how much of the homemade recipe would be appropriate to give him (170 lbs., 18 mos.) if I decide to continue with it?  Also, I would love to see the meatball recipe you mentioned to me.  Thanks again for your wonderful suggestions.  It was such a pleasure to talk to you and to hear what you are doing for so many dogs and their owners!!!

Answer
Hi- I just sent the Meatball recipe to you at your private e-mail.
Make sure you use the NuVET supplement wafers rather than the NuPro.
Nuvet is much better to digest.

You will need 2 per day for his weight...

I will send you a home-cooked recipe for him -  It will be large ingredients for his weight.
You can also mix home-cooking with the dry dog food kibble --- I had mentioned a few to you that are very good.

Talk to you later,
