Help Needed! Nuvet supplement

[SMSiegman]

Hi

Just wondering how long it took for people to notice changes in their dogs. My guy is almost 4 years old and I'm constantly fighting yeast infections and itching.

Most of the yeast happens in the eye fold because of excessive tearing. He has been on two different sets of antibiotics plus apoquel and nothing seems to be helping. I tried the Nuvet once before but didn't notice a difference. Maybe I didn't use it long enough?

He doesn't like apple cider vinegar and coughs after he gets done eating when I put the vinegar on his food. He eats Fromm pork and peas with raw coconut. I tried plain yogurt but that seemed to make things worse.

Thank you

Try putting ACV in his water instead of his food. Yogurt is not for all dogs. I personally not a big fan of it. When a dog like humans been on antibiotics thats when we would need probiotics. But anything that is pasteurized basically is done with high heat and kills everything. Like useless. Raw milk is a million times better and yet extremely hard to get unless you know a farmer. I rather use the live 12 strain probiotics in your health food store "in" the fridge. NOT on shelves. If I eat yogurt, it will be only plain greek yogurt. Below are a couple links that explains yogurts. To eliminate all yeast issues is you feed your dog raw or home cooking. Just a thought.

I have a similar issue with Lambeau and tear stains... I found apple cider vinegar pill form, that I hide in his food, but not seeing any real change for him. I also feed Fromm pork and peas and am beginning to wonder if the peas are an issue... I am holding off on any food change till I get the Christmas tree out of the house and see how he does during th winter months

I had this issue with FTSE just been in the process of changing his kibble I took him of chicken as he was way worse when eating that and I thought beef too but now not too sure about the beef but don't want to try that as we are going away in five weeks and don't want an issue while we are away so for the time being it's still lamb with the new kibble which so far seems good just hope it stays that way.

Hi Sue, I am currently facing issues with Bentley and food. Currently, we are feeding him Fromm's Pork and Applesauce and his poop is like Dairy Cream Ice Cream out of the machine...Sorry for that image...We think it is the protein; however, the Fromm Family of the grain free foods have probiotics in their product even Orijen products. So with that information...I hope helps.

BTW Bentley itches on the Beef Frittata, Lamb and Lentil, Pork and Peas. We do give him Fish Oil capsule daily to help with the itching. His itching is calmed down on the Pork with Applesauce but as mentioned his stools are extremely loose.

Maybe cut back a little to see if it helps? Doesn't pork/applesauce have grains too?

I do believe it is grain free. I will have to look.

Pork and applesauce is not grain free...Pork and Peas is grain free.

would you offer a .... oh crud, cant think of the word.... well an amt to give? and is there a way to check a capsule to see if still active?

Have you considered adding Cod Skins daily? I noticed an immediate difference to Bass' coat being on this (he is also on NuVet and is fed P&P, filtered water w/ACV and un refined organic cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil).

 

[Hankster]
