We have also discovered this wonderful product. We started weaning our puppies to it as a transition from Mothers milk to solid foods, in addition to the dry Fromm kibble. We have found this added source of protein makes all the difference in getting the small breeds through that difficult period where they are so susceptible to hypoglycemia. It also helps if your dog is not feeling well in general and just seems to need a little added boost to help them recover. NUTRITION JUST AS NATURE INTENDED Simply put, raw diets provide nutrition the way nature intended.Raw diets provide nutrition the way nature intended. Nature’s Variety Instinct Raw Frozen Diets are formulated like the ancestral diet with 95% meat, organs, and raw ground bone, 5% fruits and vegetables, and 0% grain. Dogs and cats are meat eaters by nature. A diet consisting primarily of raw meat, organ meats, bone, and fat reflects what your pets would eat in their natural habitat. Since dogs and cats are carnivorous by nature, they thrive on a diet rich in nutritious meat. The Gold Standard – Real, Fresh,
and 100% Natural At Nature's Variety, we believe natural is best – and a raw (uncooked) diet is as natural as you can get! Since raw diets provide nutrition the way nature intended, they are truly "the gold standard" of nutrition for your special pets. Cooking food causes proteins to denature, and many become distorted or damaged, essentially destroying their biochemical identity. We believe raw diets are superior to cooked diets because the proteins, vitamins, and minerals are more intact and more bio-available, meaning they are available for your pet to utilize and benefit from. Additionally, raw meat is about 60-70% moisture, and is an excellent source of dietary water. Adequate water intake is considered by many veterinarians to be the first line of defense against kidney and urinary disease. When we say 100% natural, we mean just that! We do not use synthetic vitamins or minerals in our Raw Frozen Diets. Every ingredient is real, fresh, and thoughtfully included to create a complete and balanced diet.

Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar and is common in toy breed dogs. There are many things which can bring on a bout of hypoglycemia including stress, cold, not eating, fasting before vigorous exercise, and intestinal parasites. Toy breed dogs from 6 to 12 weeks of age are most commonly affected. After all, the puppy has recently been weaned from its mother, wormed, vaccinated, given a bath, had its nails trimmed, and often has gone into its new home. Hypoglycemia is serious and in many cases pets may lose consciousness and fall into a coma. Pets can die from hypoglycemia if they do not receive treatment immediately. The good news is that you can easily arrest the condition. Treatment for hypoglycemia: If you notice your pet is acting wobbly or weak try giving some treats or canned food, anything you know your pet will eat. If your pet won't eat, try giving it Nutrical or some sugar -- Karo syrup works the best. Rub the syrup on the gums and under the tongue if your pet is unconscious. If your pet is conscious and can swallow you can give the sugar water with a syringe (no needle). If your pet’s blood sugar drops it may also begin to suffer with hypothermia, so you'll need to help keep your dog warm with a heating pad, hot water bottle, and blankets. Rubbing a puppy briskly with a towel also helps. Hypoglycemia is very dangerous and can kill a dog if left without treatment.
Feeding:
Toy breeds should be fed 3 or more small meals a day to help
avoid hypoglycemia. If you have to leave your puppy for an
extended period, it is best to leave out some tempting food
(maybe canned). Some owners mix Karo syrup in the drinking
water, if you do this the water should be changed daily to avoid
bacteria growth. Always make sure you see your puppy eat
– do not assume he/she ate because the food was there.
