Smokey's improved health

Dramatic turn around in health of puppies pulled from shelter

My husband and I foster puppies and work to find them loving adoptive homes. Usually they are in poor health when they come to us and we immediately start adding Nussentials’ MORE! to their food.

We recently pulled 2 puppies from a local shelter on their last day before being euthanized. We named them Smokey and Bandit. They had been at the shelter for over a month. They are the sweetest pups on earth, but were very malnourished and wormy. We started shaking 1/2 tsp of MORE onto their dry food, and got them to the vet to be wormed. Smokey’s coat was very dull and very thin around his neck, down his back, and in spots on his legs. A test for demodex, a non-contagious form of mange, was negative. The vet felt his sparse coat was the result of poor nourishment.

He visited the vet again a week later, and in one week he had gained 4.2 pounds, in spite of being treated for worms! Amazing! His coat was still poor but she expected it would improve in a month or two.

The next day, our first order of PET RESTORE! arrived and we started adding it to his food. That day we took a photo to document his thin coat. Eight days later, he has gained another 3 pounds, and his coat is now shiny and thick. The photos below show Smokey before and 8 days later after using Nussentials’ MORE! and PET RESTORE!


BEFORE: Dull, thin coat, fur missing around neck, on back and legs


AFTER: Soft, silky, shiny, thick coat
