Dry itchy Skin - Food allergies schnoodle dog;

Question
QUESTION: I have a 3 month old schnoodlethat i started feeding Wellness super Mix for Puppies about 6 weeks ago..It was a slow transition but inoticed that he is constantly scratching, nipping and bitting his legs and feet.  No flees and ticks.been check for every thing else by vet.The vet wants to give him steroids but i think it may be remedied by changing his food which no one seems to want to address.  What is the best way to do this ..do yo have any recommendations and are the specific question that i should ask the Vet.  I chose Wellness because it was a considered one of the best by many of the people that I spoke with among others, including Solid Gold Hudchen Flocken Puppy Lamb food


NuVET for PUPS   ANSWER: Hi Taia , Poor little Schnoodle!  Yes, I can help and please use steroids as your LAST resort.

I bet we are dealing with an environmental allergy and a slight food allergy, too.
HOW about we add some BARKING at the MOON by solid gold.....
Use the Wellness and buy the GRAIN free Barking at the Moon brand.
Do a 50/50 mix of the two for a few months -
Feed 3 small meals per day, if possible.
If you can't find BARKING at the MOON then mix WELLNESS CORE with the PUPPY WELLNESS ...

Next - Please get this baby onto the NuVET Program - NuVET is Natural and a skin and coat healer/ ALLERGY blaster and IMMUNE system booster to fight OFF the allergens.
Please give 1 1/2 wafers per day for 20 days and then drop down to just 1 wafer of NuVET Plus Per day.
VERY very safe - NO drugs all natural herbs and vitamins.
Call 1-800-474-7044
Or go here:  USE referral code 81098 and my name : PET Nurse Marie.

NO sold in stores only by vet or pet pro referral.

Also, let's give this kid some Vitamin E ( just 1 of a 50IU per day )
this is a very small CAT dosage.
The human kind of Vit E  50 IU.
Give one per day for at least a few months.

LET you vet know about the changes and that you are working with Marie Peppers on vitamins and nutrition....

Please keep me posted on your food change over and possible supplements...?  I am here to help.
Keep your Vet up-to-date on your changes... Try to keep the VET in the Loop.  Many vets are not trained in canine nutrition.
Good luck kids!

Hi - Any of the WELLNESS Cores would be fine - I believe there are 2 or 3 flavors of Core/

Make sure you mix with PUP food - Wellness Pup food is fine.
I sure do like BARKING at the moon - see if you can find that first.

And, don't forget to order the NuVET wafers....
they will get them right out to you..

Marie
BEST wishes....
