Question
Hi I have a olde English bulldog he is almost 2. Just in the last 4 months he has been having trouble with his ears i took him to the vet the first time but now it is back again but in a different ear. It's red and bleeding,swollen and he shakes his head like crazy do you know of anything i can do without me having to take him back to the vet i really can't afford it.  

Answer
Hi Tara, Yes, I can help your Olde English bullie kid!  You will need to make a food change to grain-free feeding and add this great NuVET supplement....LOADS of bullies take 1 nuVET per day to keep the skin and coat clear of infection...Also, helps to fight off Allergens!
YOUR dog could have food allergies AND environmental allergies.

1.  Look for a good grain free dog food :  here are some to look for:
FEED a 50:50 mix of the old food and the new food for 2 weeks.  ( to avoid loose poops).

SEE my bullies here...
YOUR boy Should start with 2 NuVETs per day and after 30 days, drop down to just 1 per day.
Make sure they know you are working with pet nurse Marie.


I understand the VET cost and prices.... Changing to a better food and using the NuVET wafers will keep the VET away.

Keep me posted.
