good diet for mastiff pup with demodex ; mange mites nuvet plus ; Solid Gold Barking at the MOON;

Question
Hello Marie,

I have a 6 month old English mastiff puppy, named Delia,
absolute doll. She's 56 lbs, with her weight fluctuating a
lot. When she first came home with me she had pneumonia.
Then, after that she got mange, demodex. So, I've been
working with the vet to get rid of the demodex for the past
2 months.

Ok, so what I'd really like to know is what I should feed
her. What supplements can she get to help boost that immune
system, help her skin and coat, and just help her overall
health??

Currently she is eating Pedigree for Large Breeds.  I would
just really appreciate any suggestions on a diet for her.
She is such a sweet dog and I just want her to be healthy.

Thank you!

Hello , I am glad you wrote to me ...I would love to help you two!!
Yes, to re-build the immune system is a must!  Let's get her onto a better food.  How about you mix the Pedgree food with some Solid Gold BARKING at the MOON food.  If you can't find that then please get some Wellness PUPPY food.
Do a 50:50 mix of the Pedgree and the NEW food x 3 weeks.  AFTER that, you can go to 100% the New food.

Next, the meds to kill the Demodex mite are very harsh and like poison.  YOU need a good supplement to help protect or re-build the immune system .  I would suggest 2 NuVET Plus wafers per day.
NuVET is excellent for dogs like yours ( The mange mite)...
NuVET is also great for the skin, coat, body systems, hips, joints ...
Go here and ask for the 60 day trial / MONEY back guarantee offer :
YOUR kid will need the 2 per day - Most dogs only need 1 NuVET wafer per day - a NuVET wafer is about .60 cents per day.
a 90 count bottle is 55.00
YOU can get 15% off on Auto ship.
Tell them Marie of Ask the Pet Nurse sent you....

You can also add a few other things to your diet.  
I would start with the food change and the NuVET -
after about 3-4 weeks we can add a Probiotic supplement if needed.
I like to start out small and work up to what we need.
