All our dogs are on a Dr. Kruger formula! All mama dogs are started on the Puppy & Pregnancy formula, and a starter bag is sent home with the puppies at 8 weeks. https://www.drkruger.com/
I give my showing dogs NuVet and my sporting dogs NuJoint tablets. Every puppy goes home with a week’s supply to get started.
I use many of the DocRoy’s products for my mamas and puppies.
