I found a great $2 off any Prosense pet product, so I decided to try the fish oil for Bentleyās suspected grass allergies (itās not chicken, itās not grains, so maybe grass?) and the senior vitamins for Haleyās weight (we canāt possibly shove anymore food down this dogs throat, as she just canāt physically eat much more than 5 cups).
Bentleyās been on the fish oil for a few months, and it does actually seem to help him some. Weāve also been wiping his paws and tummy off after being outdoors with a baby wipe, and trying to give him a weekly bath. And, which I havenāt tried yet, I found hot spot shampoo of the same brand on clearence for $3 (use the coupon and itās only a buck :D).
Haley, at just 65 pounds of ideal weight, eats 4-5 cups a day. Sheās maybe 2-3 pounds underweight, healthy otherwise. The vet had her on vitamins last year durring some medical treatment, but sheās since been off them. Pretty much boils down to her being old at this point, and not being able to metabolize food as efficiently. Shes been on these Prosense Senior vitamins for a few days and I do already see her gaining energy, at least.
Regular feeding, for all three of the dogs, consists of 8-9 cups of dry food mixed with a 13 oz can of wet food, and usually an egg thrown in, as well. This is obviously divided up in appropriate amounts for each dog. The whole feeding routine has been made up specifically for Haley, as straight dry food really upsets her stomach, in an indigestible sort of way. Even if itās just moistened with some water, it helps her tremendously. Poor girls got tummy troubles lol
I was wondering about these senior vitamins: they seem really high in calcium, which Iāve heard mixed things about for older dogs. Iāll get exact numbers in the morning, as Iām in bed now, but itās several times higher than the adult formula. I want to say its 4-5% though.
This brand is only available at WalMart (locally, at least) from what Iāve seen. Not that I really have much problem with that. I donāt particularly like WalMart, but Iāll do what I have to.
Also, side note while were here, and I feel itāll be brought up at some pointā you guys know those powder Centrum probiotics for people? Would something like that he beneficial in Haleyās case? Doesnāt have to be that brand or kind, either. Anything along those lines. Just know Iām not made of money š
