It’s Me Nelly!
My name is Carnella, but everyone just calls me Nelly. I am a mixed bag of all the most wonderful large breed dogs. Pitbull, Labrador, Rottweiler, and German Shepard. I was born in October of 2013, my mom doesn’t know my exact date but we just celebrate on the 13th because for us 13 is a lucky number.
Shortly after I turned one years old , I began to have very aggressive allergies. They were horrible, I was always getting ear infections, licking myself bald. My mom tried everything, medicated baths, and we followed all of our vet’s directions. We purchased vet prescribed food, expensive medication, and costly regular vet visits, however nothing worked. I was not getting any relief. In August of 2020 my mom began to do her own research on the food I was eating and took me off feed grade kibble, wet food, and treats. Once again we tried everything raw, freeze dried, and gently cooked. We settled on gently cooked and WOW, what a game changer that was. I no longer have ear infections, or any symptoms of allergies.
I am 10 years old now and full of energy for a senior pup. I love to run, jump, and my favorite is swimming in our pool during warmer months. I am an amazing cuddle bug and my mom's favorite girl!
