Nupro All Natural Dog Supplement (5 lb)

My retired breeder mama collie had to go on prescription food to prevent bladder crystals. Her coat and skin were dry from the breeder not bothering to de-worm hookworms. I asked my vet about supplements, instead of spending money on every product showing up in my Facebook feed and hoping one of them would work. The vet’s been using Nupro as long as it’s been around (over 30 years) and my dog loves it. I make a gravy and combine it with her prescription food. The vet and the groomer both noticed the difference in her skin and coat after only three weeks of use. Ignore all the ads for the latest trendy chews, powders, oils, whatever. Just get this classic product.(The customer service at Nupro was excellent as well, and answered all my questions.)

Taking into consideration that there is no single Perfect supplement for any creature - human or otherwise, Nupro has much to be proud of. Unlike many other supplements Nupro is manufactured here in the United States from first quality sources. Recent findings that Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.Who has sourced out the manufacturing of Pet-Tabs to India, along with the newly published report by Consumer labs that levels of lead approaching the toxic zone have been discovered.Nupro is based on a whole food concept. You very well could feed your dog nothing but Nupro and expect most nutritional needs to be met. However specific proteins and essential vitamins and trace minerals would be missed.I mention this only to re enforce that although Nupro isn't a replacement for a healthy diet - it can enhance what ever food you are currently feeding your pooch.As a dog lover who has never been without a dog or three for 50 plus years. I have been making my own dog food for over thirty.Long before the was an Internet I was teaching myself all I could about canine nutrition. My self education continues - and I remain highly suspect of any commercial dog food.Especially if you consider that out of literally thousands of brands and sub brands - there are a mere 14 considered safe and healthy. Since the founding of Nupro some 25 years ago there has never been a single instance of a recall, tainted ingredient or other unfortunate mishap.Using palatable desiccated (powdered) liver as a base Nupro adds the following:1) Kelp - rich in trace minerals and iodine Kelp is proven to improve glandular functions and provide a rich source of natural vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and E.2) Amino Acids and Enzymes - proven to strengthen the immune system in dogs and humans.3) Flax Seed - Great source of Omega 3 Fats. Unlike fish oils no smell and what is more, no chance of mercury.4) Lecithin - long applauded for it's effect on brain, nerve and healthy liver function.5) Allicin (highly condensed garlic oil) Proven to fight cardiovascular disease. A powerhouse of anti oxidants.6) Lactobacillus Acidophilus - Helps regulate the digestive system, reduces gas, bloating and stomach upset. Can compliment the use of whole fat yogurt for those who use it.Nupro is in powdered form and does not need to be refrigerated. Over the past year, I have exchanged emails with founder and she is eager to answer any questions and support any claims with factual studies and information.My only real concern with Nupro is that I believe the initial dose recommendations are far too excessive.The company would benefit by adding label information addressed to those dogs with sensitive stomachs and or digestive problems.But common sense should prevail. Never overload a new ingredient to any dogs diet. Acclimation should be reduced to the smallest denominator.Rather than one large scoop (included) I would advise a teaspoon at most for dogs over 50 lbs and significantly less for smaller dogs. For finicky eaters Nupro can be mixed with a little warm water to make a gravy - and who doesn't like gravy?By adding Nupro to your dogs diet you can expect to see:1) Dramatic improvement in the coat. More shine and less shedding.2) Less stomach upset3) Firmer stools4) Higher balanced behavior and more energy5) Improved breathNupro is an excellent time proven product.Used conservatively in the beginning both you and your beloved pooch and or pooches should experience an overall improvement in many areas of your dogs overall health and well being.

Within one week we noticed shinier coats, less dry skin and scratching, cleaner teeth, and a happier more playful pair of large senior dogs. Excellent product. They absolutely love the taste and are visibly disappointed on days I don't have time to add it to their breakfast.

I had been giving my two girls (German Shepherds) a different kind of supplement when someone just happened to mention this one. I checked it out and discovered that it's just LOADED with all kinds of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other things for healthy pups, so I bought a 5 lb jar. One of my dogs has a bit of a finicky appetite, the other one will eat just about anything. They both love it. I, personally, think it smells revolting, but then I'm not eating it. It makes me happy to see my girls lapping the stuff up (I make a gravy, which actually is more like a pudding) and pour it over their dry kibble and mix well. It's only been a couple of days so that's probably not enough time to see any results, but I am hopeful it will help with skin allergies, which they both have. Oh, and we had a Vet appointment the other day, and when I mentioned I was giving this to the girls, the vet seemed pleased. I'm definitely going to continue giving my girls this supplement.SEPTEMBER 13, 2016So it's been a little over a year since I first tried this supplement, and my girls are still loving it. In fact, they go absolutely nuts while I'm fixing their "supper" and they gobble it right down. One interesting thing I noticed this year: One of my girls was having serious skin issues on her tummy and chest regions for a few years. The vet said it was Staph. I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but this summer she has no sores. None. Nothing changed except for putting Nupro in with the dry kibble. Needless to say, I was thrilled, and am hoping that we've seen the end to the painful and itchy sores.
