It is a a supplment given to small breed puppies.Puppies blood sugar can drop very easily because they have difficulty regulating their glucose levels .
A new move ,enviroment,overactivity and stress can all be factors.Its best to have it on hand and give it every few hours as a preventive measure.

It is a nutritional suppliment with sugar in it. I never gave it as a preventative because My vet said it wasnt necessry. I always have it on hand though

It is a supplement with sugar and other nutrients in it. It should NEVER be given unless your puppy is not eating or is having symptoms of low sugar. Given as a preventive or routinely every few hours can possibly put your pup into Diabetes. it is good to keep it on hand tho.
