Bringing a new puppy into your home is an exciting and heartwarming experience. Your furry little friend will undoubtedly bring joy, love, and endless companionship to your life. But with this new responsibility comes the need for proper care and nutrition to ensure your puppy grows into a healthy and happy adult dog. This is where NuVet Labs comes in to support new puppy owners on their journey to pet parenthood.
For as little as $0.62/day you can protect the lifelong health of your new puppy.
NuVet Plus® for Puppy Health
NuVet Plus® is specially designed to provide your new puppy with the essential immune system support they need during their crucial growth and development stages.
What makes NuVet Plus® a go-to choice for puppy owners?
First, dogs LOVE the taste!
Our dogs think that NuVet Plus® wafers taste better than dog treats. The NuVet Plus® powder is a great option for picky eaters—sprinkle the powder on top of their food and they will gobble it up!
Prebiotics for a Strong Foundation
NuVet Plus® stands out by using prebiotics, not probiotics, in its formula. Prebiotics create the ideal environment for the growth of beneficial bacteria in your puppy's gut. This means your puppy can naturally generate its own probiotics, ensuring a robust and balanced digestive system.
💡 Pair NuVet Plus® with TLC Puppy Food for best results. TLC Puppy Food contains live probiotics while NuVet Plus® contains ultra-premium prebiotics.
Natural and Nutrient-Rich Ingredients
NuVet Plus® is formulated with natural ingredients derived from various sources, ensuring a balanced and comprehensive nutritional profile. For example, real chicken liver is used to provide essential vitamins like A, E, B1, digestive enzymes, and omega fatty acids.
Preservation of Vital Nutrients
The "cold processing" method used in the manufacturing of NuVet Plus® is a process that avoids exposing the ingredients to damaging heat, preserving crucial vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
Made in the USA with Rigorous Standards
NuVet Plus® is manufactured in an FDA-registered facility in the Western United States. It adheres to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) standards, ensuring that every ingredient is thoroughly tested and closely monitored.
Satisfaction Guarantee
NuVet Plus® offers a 60-day, 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.
Our product recommendations
NuVet Plus® wafers or powder
We keep both the wafers and powder in stock in our home. We like to offer NuVet Plus® to our dogs and puppies daily. Sometimes we will use the wafers as treats, and sometimes we will use the powder as a kibble topper. (mix with a litter water and plain canned pumpkin and you have a delicious gravy!)
NuJoint DS wafers
These are a staple in our home for dogs over 1 year of age. We begin offering daily joint support to our dogs when they become physically mature because we are confident this allows them to live the most comfortable life possible. Our dogs are very active and joint support is absolutely necessary.
The Growing Awareness of Free Radicals
The NuVet Labs® research team understands that even the most expensive pet foods available are lacking in basic nutrients essential for proper cell support and longevity.
It is a fact that some of the ingredients in pet food produce free radicals or unstable oxygen molecules which causes oxidation of the cells and subsequent mutation and death of the cells. Recent studies have shown free radicals to be a potential threat to your pet's health.
Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that, according to research, can hit each cell in the body 10,000 times each day. As these free radicals constantly hit the cell membrane, it starts to break down and become weak. This weakness will eventually lead to cell mutation or death of the cell, thereby, attacking the healthy parts of the body and degrading the immune system.
The Role of Antioxidants
Antioxidants play a pivotal role in protecting the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. These essential defenders can be found in specific vitamins and foods.
While the body can naturally produce some antioxidants, it often falls short of combating the sheer number of free radicals. This is where the remarkable antioxidants in NuVet Plus® come into play, strengthening the body's natural defense mechanisms.
When NuVet Plus® is introduced into your puppy's diet, it acts as a powerful ally, boosting the immune system and reducing the damage caused by free radicals. This provides your puppy with a robust defense against potential health threats.
Novel ingredients ahead of their time
At Rebecca Creek Retrievers, recommendations intended to benefit your puppy's physical health are backed by both science and anecdotal evidence.
Let's explore some of the novel ingredients in NuVet Plus® that are backed by science and that we trust for our breeding dogs, pets, and puppies.
Blue Green Algae
Blue-green algae, specifically species like Spirulina and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, offer potential health benefits for dogs, including nutrient richness, protein content, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory effects, and support for skin and coat health.
Cat’s Claw
Cat's Claw, or Uncaria tomentosa, is a woody vine known for its potential benefits in dogs, including anti-inflammatory properties that may alleviate joint pain and support immune health. It also has antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and may enhance general well-being.
Evening Primrose Oil
Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) offers potential benefits for dogs, including skin and coat health, anti-inflammatory effects, allergy relief, hormonal balance support, heart and brain health, and assistance with autoimmune conditions.
Shark Cartilage
Shark cartilage offers several potential health benefits for dogs, including support for joint health by reducing pain and inflammation, bolstering the immune system, promoting healthy skin and coat, and potentially playing a role in cancer prevention through the inhibition of blood vessel growth in tumors.
💡 NuVet sources 100% of their shark cartilage from non-endangered species.
Alpha Amylase
Alpha-amylase, an enzyme found in a dog's pancreas and saliva, is used in some dog foods and supplements to support various health benefits. These include aiding digestion, especially in dogs with carbohydrate digestion issues, reducing starch-related problems like gas and bloating, providing digestive relief during periods of stress, assisting in cases of reduced natural enzyme production, and supporting dogs with pancreatic insufficiency by enhancing carbohydrate digestion and nutrient absorption.
Pine Bark
Pine bark extract, derived from the French maritime pine tree, is believed to offer potential health benefits for dogs. It contains antioxidants that combat free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and support the immune system, contributing to overall well-being. Additionally, pine bark extract may promote joint health by reducing inflammation, making it beneficial for dogs with conditions like arthritis. It can also enhance skin and coat health, support cardiovascular health by improving circulation, boost the immune system, and potentially aid cognitive function, particularly in aging dogs.
Papain
Papain, an enzyme derived from the papaya fruit, offers potential health benefits for dogs. It serves as a digestive aid, assisting dogs in breaking down and absorbing nutrients from their food more efficiently, making it beneficial for pets with digestive issues or difficulty digesting proteins. Papain also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, potentially reducing inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. This enzyme may support skin and coat health by improving digestion and nutrient absorption and boost the immune system with its antioxidant content. In some cases, it is used to aid in the removal of intestinal parasites by breaking down their protective coatings.
Nurturing Your Puppy with NuVet Plus®
Just as we humans have become aware of the destructive power of free radicals and the need for antioxidants, our pets also require assistance in bolstering their physiological defenses. NuVet Plus® is formulated to be the most potent source of antioxidants available for your puppy.
By including NuVet Plus® in your puppy's daily routine, you're providing them with a powerful shield against the ravages of free radicals. This supplement offers your puppy the means to develop a robust immune system and to thrive during their growth and development stages.
