Question
Hi Maria! It's me AGAIN! A few things... first the kids are now on Innova dry in the a.m., and Innova dry with Nutro wet pouch food at night. Mother Hubbard treats in between.  Anyway, these two adorable creatures are shedding so much my husband will no longer sit on the sofa!!!  It's everywhere, floor, couch, side tables,EVERYWHERE!!!  They are in good health although I think Jazzy is a tad overweight.She's about 50 pounds for a 10 month old but she's rotten and spoiled and we rarely say no to her!! Put it this way if there was "Locks of Love" for dogs we'd be in business.  They get a bath with oatmeal shampoo about every 3 weeks. They have no visible skin condition or any smell. I brush them out every other day. please tell me what to do to at least bring it down to normal.  With your doggie chalet how do you keep hair at bay?  Second,Cowboy's paw is swollen between his toes. It doesn't look like a cyst that you put neosporin on. It seems to itch because he will bite and lick the paw.  Home treatment or vet!  And lastly, Remember me telling you Jazzy will steal toys from Cow? You told me She is the alpha. Well, She still does it and Cow finally got fed up and now they will argue. This consists of noise, growls, and attacking eachothers faces!! It looks like psycho french kissing!! It lasts about 10 seconds then they're fine.  Should I let this continue or step in or what?? Sorry this is so long, but I want you to get the whole picture.  Thank you so much!!!

Answer
Hi TERRIE - I remember you guys!!!  Ok, first - don't do Nutro wet - that has a lot of fillers in it. - Go with Innova EVO WET - they make a nice canned one - Do Innova Dry and Innova EVO Wet -

Mother hubbard is fine - Just don't overdue it because they will get plump....

As for shedding - You need to put them on the NuVET Plus - this is the best skin and coat supplement in the USA - So many Bullies are on NuVET - It keeps the EAR infections and Scratching, and Also the Shedding in control.  So many Bullies get much better when they take NuVET Plus - The company gives a 60 Day money back guarantee - so try and see if the NuVET wafers help ...
Here is the ordering info - and some Bullies on my page, too.

Next, the " paw " - NuVET will take care of this - Also, you can add this supplement to the diet - Acidophilus 1 billion CFUs - give one per day for 1 month. Helps to get rid of itchy paws and bumps.
The swollen paw thing is mostly an Allergy - the NuVET will help this and may even cure it.

Let them play - If they draw blood, I hope they will learn to be more gentle.
Have fun.

Let me know if the NuVET helps your kids-
Make sure you mention Marie as your Nutritional consultant for NuVET - order code 81098
