Nutri-Cal Malt-Flavored High-Calorie Nutritional Gel for Dogs, 4.25oz

IF your dog is old or ailing, try this, it helped in saving my 20 yr old beloved Baby Girls life after she had another stroke & she forgot how to pick up, check & swallow her food, using a small (teaspoon) size syringe, i give her this along with, eggs, yogurt, smashed up dog food (organic, NON GMO) peanut butter, cheese etc.... she regained her weight, she loves this stuff (heaping teaspoon via syringe) 3 times daily, it improves appetite & health, she's doing Great & I've ordered about 18 tubes of this in the last 3 months. give "as needed" as long as improvement is noticeable. or consult an animal husbandry specialist please. Great product, high in fat. Also, I highly recommend "ARTERRA, All-in-One Dog Supplement for Advanced Wellness & Longevity, 63 Premium Ingredients for Aging Support, Hip & Joint, Cognition & Mood, Gut & Organs, Vet-Formulated, Senior Formula 8+ Yrs, 9.7 oz"- I give both daily, or as needed.

I had a 3 lb chihuahua pug mix who seemed healthy when I got her.But later she would play then suddenly develop the wobbles and rapidlybeco.e too weak to eat or even hold her head up. This product got her through it and she is now 10 lbs, happy & healthy. She loves a her nutritional paste and licks it right from the tube.

5 Stars! Delicious Goo, Suspicious Tube (Dog Drama Unexplained)This gel? Absolute gold. My pup LOVES it. We used to have this cute little ritual she’d lick it straight from the tube like it was her daily dessert. No mess, no fuss, just pure, tail wagging joy.Then one day... she turned on the tube.No joke she saw me holding it and bolted like it owed her back taxes. No noises, no surprise squirts, no spooky shadows. I didn’t even open it. She just decided it was evil now.BUT put a dab on my finger? Instant happy dog. She licks it up like it’s foie gras on fine china. It’s the same delicious gel, just apparently less threatening when it’s not in tube form.So yeah, five stars. Tastes amazing (according to her), works great, and now I just deliver it finger style like a fancy snack waiter. Mysterious tube fear aside, this stuff is a hit!

I don't even remember why I bought this. I'm heavily into rescue, so I keep a well-stocked pet cabinet, but I don't remember using this product on a specific pup earlier.I have a sick older cat. I adopted her when she was 18 to 24 months old about 12 years ago. She was quite feral back then, and the Humane Society clearly had few hopes for her. It actually advertised her as a barn cat. I do have a large barn, but I feed all my animals, and I would never leave a cat to fend for itself. Anyway, "feral" seems an understatement if anything; the day I adopted her, I left her in her carrier in the barn most of the day, then left freshly steamed shrimp and smelly tuna cat food outside her carrier so she could smell them. Opened her carrier an hour later and, ta-da, saw a streak of black cross the barn to the nearest opening. I didn't see her for 8 months, but the twice-a-day feeding bowl was always empty in record time.She has not been feral for a long time, and I have her in the house. She still hides from other people, however. All this to explain why I try to tend to her at home, with vet care consisting of those who make farm calls. Until now, she has been healthy.Force-feeding did not work; the main effect of that effort was to make twice-a-day shirt changes necessary for me. Yesterday I gave Leah two gobs of this supplement, sticking it in her mouth with my finger. She seemed a bit more aware last night, and today she has finally eaten some canned cat food. I am thrilled.Before saying, "Oh, but this product is for pups," I urge you to look at the nutritional information for pups and kittens on the separate tubes and compare. There is no difference. I haven't looked at the grown cat/dog info, but I imagine they're the same too. In any event, Leah is eating, and I thought I had lost her. I'll never be without this product in my pet cabinet.Two points I hope someone reading this will take away, or three if you count the lack of difference in formulations: (1) This is a terrific product, and it can save your pet's life, and (2) Never be afraid to adopt a feral animal; with love and patience, he or she will turn into a wonderful pet. This is one of those instances in which environment strongly outweighs genetics.Update, May 26, 2019: This is long overdue, given that Leah was completely well shortly after I wrote the original review. I still feel strongly about this product (I just reordered it as a Subscribe-and-Save), and I still feel strongly about ferals. I've never had a feral pup or dog--they don't survive nearly as well on their own--but Leah is my third feral feline. The first was a tiny kitten that I saw in the woods for a couple of weeks before adopting him; I saw both parents, but clearly the litter had died aside from this one, and he was too weak to run away. I hesitated because I wasn't a "cat person," but the experience with this kitten turned me into a cat person in record time, given that I had to wean him and give him medicines regularly. Riley lived to 17 and a half. The second was born in the dirt-floor basement of the mountain house to which I moved. She too was the only survivor, and I've had her for 15 years now; she still favors my basement. Soon after, I adopted Leah, who seems content to be my house cat now. All have been wonderful pets, and I count myself as lucky to have encountered them. They have enriched my life.

This is an excellent supplement for little dogs that are super picky about eating. It's packed with vitamins and minerals that help the little guys stay healthy. When my little one doesn't eat right, he gets low blood sugar and this helps a lot. It is really sticky, so I wet my finger and put about a pea size dollup on it, then open his mouth and wipe it on the roof of his mouth. The water helps it slide off. Without it, it's a sticky, gooey mess.

Arrived in good shape, haven’t used it as my new puppy hasn’t arrived. Trying to make sure I have any needed supplies. That is the reason for the 4 stars, though feel confident.

Get ready to give your pet that burst of Entergy. It works so well that I suggest only giving to pet when they shows sign of lacking Entergy. Never use right before sleep time.

Our little dog (under 20) is a picky eater and tires easily. Since giving her this she is like a new dog. Plays more and eats way better. Will keep buying for sure.
