Question
QUESTION: marie, i was wondering if it was a bad idea to give my 5 month old bullie a peice bologna in his food because that seems to be the only way he will eat all of his food? And have you heard of ol'roy soft dinner rounds are a good food? as of right now i still give him the breeders food which is iams adult mini chunk 3 times a day. and at six months should i change his feeding to twice a day?  thanks marie!

ANSWER: Hi Jeremy - Iams is not the greatest food...Ol'roy is awful in my book.  Would you like me to recommend a few good foods for your bullie boy?  Also, no bologna, how about cut up a few bites of white chicken ....
Let me know if you are in the USA or other?  I will give you some foods to look for ...JUST need your general location.

Thanks
Marie Peppers

Answer
Ok, sure we can help this bullie boy...
Jeremy, see if you can find Merrick Brand of dog stew at the local pet store.  Give him 3 tablespoons mixed on top of his dry food..
YUM YUM good doggie stews by the Merrick People.
Good for him and human grade meats.

Next, please order some NuVET Plus vitamins for you boy - this is the BEST bullie vitamin in the USA.  LOADS of vets refer bullie parents to this brand.  I have many of my clients on the NuVET wafers..
Here is the ordering info for NuVET -
Most doggies are on 1 wafer per day ( long term) and it costs about .60 cents per day.  If you go on autoship you get 15% OFF

I would like to see you get a 90 count and go on auto ship -  If you go onto autoship you will get 15% off each order.
You can cancel autoship any time...No contracts...

NuVET  - great for skin, coat , hips , knees and joint health.  
NuVET helps to keep the VET away...!

You may also want to add some Pure Salmon oil - just a tablespoon 1 x per day.  You can pick that up at most pet stores....
Good for his skin, coat and general health...

BEST wishes
Keep me posted on his feeding program..
