Nupro Review

I give Nupro to my parents 14 year old chocolate lab, Indie. He gets two scoops a day, one with each meal. I use Nupro for various reasons. At his age and due to the fact that he is unable to eat a raw diet, I want Indie to absorb as much nutrition as he can. I am not sure he absorbs as much as he used to, so this will be an added boost. Nupro is an all natural supplement that has received rave reviews. I probably wouldn't give it to my aussies because they both eat a healthy raw diet. I make sure to give them a variety of organs from various species. While I do give Indie a variety of protein sources by switching kibbles and canned food, I believe he needs more than that can offer.

I buy it in the 5lb jugs which lasts about 2 months. There are some negatives to the Nupro, one his stools do smell more when he gets the nupro. The other one would be the price and the fact that you should add a liquid to the food in order to make a gravy and lower the chances of inhalation. Other than these few negatives, I highly suggest Nupro for a senior dog who has a compromised immune system.
