Nupro and/or Nature Diet's Naturezyme?

Ideally which is the better and more tasty (picky eater syndrome - so only myself to blame :rolleyes: )

Thanks in advance, Teri :-)

Edited to add please feel free to suggest similar products BUT I'm fussy about anything not on the right side of, erm, "natural" ingredients :D

Hi Teri cool

I use SA-37 powder.  Not sure about the "naturalness" of it though!!!  Its manufactured by Intervet UK Ltd.

Hello - how's you :-)

Thanks for that - a few little questionables in there for me though (I have used it in the past, it's just not suited ideally to this particularly fussy furball :rolleyes: )

Hi ,used the naturezyme for a while(it was a sample) but dog was a total shovel-guts so not really an indication of palatability.

Hi Chris,

thanks for that :-)  Could you tell me if you thought the product improved condition / had any noticeable positive results or was the sample amount insufficient to show a difference?

Thanks, Teri

My picky eater had nupro but to be honest I didnt notice much difference.  I changed him onto BARF diet in the end and he put on weight lovely (still sometimes needs a bit of encouragement to eat though :rolleyes: )
1.5lb this week total 5.5lb - slowly but surely im getting there !!

Thanks for the info ClaireyS :-) 

This menace is raw fed and has thrived on it but been a little too spoiled of late so I'm now having problems feeding anything but cooked meat :rolleyes: hence the reason I'm looking for a good all round supplement that is highly pallatable and can be mixed into what few meals I can persuade her to take.

At the moment her dam is temporarily with a friend and so she's a bit lost on the frolics front and has no in-house predator to spur her enthusiasm at meal times :D The only raw food she'll still take is chicken thighs - no lack of appetite on her part, just holding out for a better offer (a ploy which has been working too well particularly over the Christmas & NY feast-ivities :rolleyes: )

kind regards, Teri

I would go with nupro then, its quite palatable, I used to mix it with warm water to form a kind of gravy for him.

Fagan will only eat after a walk (not good in a deep chested breed) they had their walk this afternoon so when I fed him tonight I had to stand and scratch his back for him until he had finished eating :rolleyes:

Out of the 2 Nupro would definitely be the more palatable and probably healthier option too.It has a distinct Liver smell and most dogs love the stuff!

Look at the prozyome and super nutrition on this site.

Cheers tohme - and nice to see you back :-) 

I like the sound of these although TBH would have preferred a powder or liquid supplement to add - are these tabs easily crushed? (the chances of this little blighter chewing them are slim to nil :rolleyes: )

regards, Teri

Not sure if they are easily crushed, mine eat them like sweets.  I think they most taste ok, the proziome has brewers yeast in so dogs like em.
