Re: Daisy
Hi,
I have a Schnauzer, too. We are on Vetsulin and after changing a dose his body seems to take a little longer to settle, and start using the new dose effectively. I've seen it take 10-14 days...

Re: New and pretty overwhelmed
Hi,
I buy the Nature Made 500mg Fish Oil Pearls. They are smaller and my little guy just eats it. Maybe these would work better than the larger ones?
Wishing you luck with all of this!!
