NuVet Canine health supplements are a precise combination of human-grade, natural vitamins, minerals, herbs, antioxidants, bioflavonoids, fatty acids, and amino acids proven to provide immune system support. NuVet Plus contains natural ingredients with no artificial colors or flavors. This naturally healthy supplement is synergisitically formulated to maximize the longevity and quality of your dog's life. We give NuJoint Plus to maintain healthy hips and joints. It is common for German Shepherds to experience "growing pains" -- we do not experience such problems with our dogs. We believe our holistic care that includes a healthy diet and NuVet Canine Health Supplements contribute significantly to the over all health and well being of our German Shepherds.
NuVet Labs scientists, veterinarians and formulators began with the premise that most pet diets are lacking the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. There are important nutrients that animals once received when they were living in a more primitive environment that are not available in the modern diet. Commercial pet foods contain numerous by-products that can make them poisonous, toxic and incapable of reducing the devastating effects of unstable oxygen molecules, also known as "free radicals." Free radicals have been implicated in more than fifty health problems in humans and animals including various forms of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, cataracts and premature aging.
NuVet Plus for Canines, NuJoint Plus, and NuVet Plus for Felines, provide the very best FDA human-grade approved and regulated, natural ingredients available.

NuJoint Plus
Pets are just as susceptible to joint diseases and ailments as their human companions, which is why we created NuJoint Plus®. Senior pets aren’t the only ones that can suffer from Arthritis, Osteoporosis, joint inflammation and aching bones. In fact pets of all ages often become afflicted with joint problems due to contaminated food, household and environmental toxins, injury and breed genetics.
OUR THEORY --- AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION !
ALL OF PUPPIES AND DOGS ARE ON NuJoint Plus. We want strong bones, great hips, and elbows...we do not want our puppies to have growing pains.
No matter what age or breed, your pet will find relief and long lasting health benefits from NuJoint Plus, our specially formulated nutritional pet supplement. We’ve designed NuJoint Plus® to be a premium natural anti-inflammatory hip and joint therapy and use only the highest quality pharmaceutical, human grade ingredients that are specifically compounded in our FDA approved laboratory for maximum potency and effectiveness.
Our 14 years of research and development has created NuJoint Plus, a nutrient rich product that goes to the source of the problem, combating joint and bone ailments with a wide variety of All Natural healing ingredients designed to be completely bio-digestible. Our cutting edge formula targets disease causing pathogens and free radicals by infusing the cellular framework of your pet’s metabolism with precise percentages of Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), and Vitamin C
Utilizing NuJoint Plus --- we NEVER have had one of our dogs or puppies experience "growing pains" aka Pano that is so common in large dogs!
Panosteitis aka Pano
Limping can be caused by several problems associated with bones and bone growth. The most common is panosteitis (pano). This is also referred to as growing pains and wandering leg lameness. Pano is characterized by shifting leg lameness; one leg will heal, then another may be affected. There are no long-term ill-effects from pano.
Pano is associated with large breed dogs and usually occurs in dogs 5 to 12 months of age, although it has been found in dogs as old as 5 years.
The best thing that an owner of a growing pup can do is to choose a high quality natural dog food, which does not have too much calcium, nor too high a percentage of protein. Recent studies show that the balance of calcium and phosphorus is the most important dietary consideration for a growing puppy followed closely by the amounts of protein and fat. Most breeders recommend a maximum of 26% protein and others like to see the pup switched to an adult formula by the age of 6 months. Diet may be the single most important aspect of puppy development (especially when coupled with exercise) under an owner's control. Listen carefully to your breeder's recommendations, they usually know what suits their lines best.
For this very reason we start our puppies on Royal Canin German Shepherd Puppy Formula and then switch over to the Royal Canin Adult German Shepherd Formula. Sometimes it can be hard to find in the stores as we have found out, so what we do is order it from: Pet Food Direct click here for their site .
Another food that we also think is high quality is the Wellness Large Breed Puppy and then the large breed adult formula. The Wellness Core is also very good for adult dogs.
At NuVet Labs we really are pet people. We love animals so much its not uncommon for our employees to bring them to work. Even our Presidents little Yorkie has his own cubicle.

Puppies and Kittens:
The excitement of a new puppy or kitten can be made all the more joyful when they are made comfortable and well taken care of. When a new pup or kitten is ready to leave the litter, usually between 6 to 8 weeks, it’s important that certain needs be met which will help them bond with their new family.
Just like a newborn child, puppies and kittens need food, water, a warm place to sleep plus lots of love. Commercial and raw food diets can leave big gaps in their nutrition. A quality nutrient supplement will provide essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes crucial for developing pets. The first two years of a puppy and kitten's life are critical for building a strong immune system, bones and organs.
NuVet Plus is a scientifically formulated nutritional supplement that helps to ensure the proper development of young dogs and cats in several crucial ways.
1. Boosts the immune system. Puppies and kittens need a healthy immune system, which is responsible for defense against disease and infections. NuVet Plus® contains Blue Green Algae which is a very rich chlorophyll source and has been shown to enhance the health of the entire body, strengthen the immune system and promote intestinal regularity.
2. Strengthens the Cardiovascular system. A young canine or feline needs a strong heart to power all that energy. NuVet Plus® contains Evening Primrose Oil, which is high in gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid that promotes cardiovascular health.
3. Fortifies Bone Structure. Puppies and kittens, like children, require strong bones to support their active lifestyle. A new pup or kitten that can stand, jump and run must depend on their nutrition to give them a healthy skeletal structure. NuVet Plus® uses Oyster Shell which has the proper ratio of quality Calcium and Phosphorus for optimum absorption. Along with Magnesium, these are the vital elements for the structural framework of bones.
4. Promotes a healthy Nervous system. NuVet Labs® knows a kitten and a puppy’s developing nervous system needs help to stay healthy which is why we make sure to include Vitamin B3 (Niacin) as part of our formula. B Vitamins are essential, and B3 promotes growth and proper functioning of their growing nerve network.
5. Supports healthy Glands and Organs. Growing pets need real nutritional sources and one of the best comes from 100% Chicken Liver found in NuVet Plus®. Paddle dried to maintain full potency of its Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamins A, C and B Complex, NuVet Plus® provides essential nutrients to fuel red blood cells and make your pup’s or kitten's internal organs strong.
NuVet Plus® is the best nutritional supplement for young canines; perfectly balanced to provide the most effective fundamental and essential ingredients that can help defend your new puppy from toxins, nutritional deficiencies and common illnesses.
Dogs and Cats in their Prime
Now in the prime of life, your dog or cat require more complete nutrition to sustain their active lives than can be found in commercial foods . Fully developed dogs and cats have different needs than newborn kittens and pups or even aging pets because at this stage they require nutritional support that can help them fuel their metabolism while protecting them from the onset of illness and disease.
Your dog and cat at this age start to exert their bodies, running, jumping and playing at full speed. Their muscles, organs and bones work at peak performance, which means they require a plentiful supply of vitamins, minerals and proteins to supply nutrients that can sustain their abundant energy levels. Their bodies have now gone beyond the development stage and their nutritional needs are more tuned towards maintaining their prime health for as long as they can.
NuVet Plus® promotes a healthy life for your pet by providing key whole food source ingredients that are human grade and focused on prevention, and by strengthening their body to fight off the free radicals that can attack them and damage their defenses.
1. Proper Vitamin & Mineral Intake. Vitamins A, B, C and E, along with Iron, help fuel hemoglobin and myoglobin with oxygenated red blood cells. Vital for energy production and healthy immune system, NuVet Plus® provides a good source of Iron to help your dog “run like the wind.” Phosphorus aids the body in the utilization of vitamins, and conversion of food to energy.
2. Complete Mineral Balance. Phosphorus works with calcium to build bones and teeth, and aids the body in the utilization of vitamins, and conversion of food to energy. Excellent for keeping your dog on the go and in the prime of their life. Potassium Citrate is important for a healthy nervous system and regular heart rhythm. It assists in the prevention of strokes, aids in proper muscle contraction, and works with sodium to control the body’s water balance.
3. Healthy Metabolism of Proteins, Fats and Carbohydrates. Zinc is a component of almost one hundred enzymes involved in metabolic processes, most of which work with the red blood cells to move carbon dioxide from the tissue to the lungs. It helps canines and cats in their prime with injury recovery and promotes wound healing. Vitamin B (Pantothenic Acid) assists in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It also aids in the utilization of some vitamins, stimulates growth, and aids in the formation of antibodies.
NuVet Plus® is the prime choice for nutritional supplementation to help your dog maintain a healthy body, shinning coat and a life full of energy and fun.
Older Dogs and Cats
Just like their human companions, dogs and cats in their later years have nutritional requirements that when met, will help them prevent illness and disease helping them live long, happy and productive lives. Senior felines and canines have a greater need for nutritional support of bones and joints, as well as for particular vitamins and amino acids that can detoxify the blood and continue to strengthen their immune system.
For older dogs and cats the importance of providing nutrient support for eyes, ears, nerves, joints and intestinal track is vital. Poor hearing and eyesight can cause your dog to become overly conscious of their actions, making them skittish and uncomfortable. Bladder and bowel control is more a matter of internal health problems than an inconvenience. Additionally, good skeletal support is essential for older dogs and cats, just as it is for people.
NuVet Plus® and NuJoint Plus® have what it takes to protect your senior cats and dog from the ravages of time and illnesses and maintain their health for many years to come. These supplements are the result of over 8 years of scientific research and development with the goal to create a nutritional product that can target, control, and eliminate the source of health issues, control or eliminate them and keep your pet strong and happy for many more years to come.
NuVet Plus® is the culmination of 8 years of research and development, formulated with the goal of creating a nutrient formula that would go beyond mere vitamin replenishment and instead provide a full spectrum nutritional supplement that focuses on the root cause of illness and disease while boosting your pet’s immune system and overall health. It contains vital ingredients that have been shown to promote healing and longevity.
NuJoint Plus® is a premium natural anti-inflammatory hip and joint therapy and uses only the highest quality pharmaceutical, human grade ingredients like Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and Vitamin C, which are specifically compounded in our FDA approved laboratory for maximum potency and effectiveness.
1. Proper Digestion. Digestive enzymes ( like Papain and Alpha Amylase) are key ingredients for proper food breakdown and assimilation. Alfalfa is considered to be a very nutritious herb, and is used to increase appetite, alleviate certain allergic reactions and help poor digestion. In its naturally balanced form it can help absorption of nutrients, and neutralizes intestinal track acidity. In conjunction with Blue Green Algae it can help heal intestinal ulcers, liver disorders, high blood pressure, Anemia, body breath odor, and cancer.
2. Energy Levels. Chicken Liver is good for anemia and aids in building healthy red blood cells. It is known to increase energy, fight liver disorders, and help relieve stress in the body. Whey Protein provides another excellent source of protein and is critical in building and maintaining muscle mass and other necessary metabolic functions.
3. Resistance to Disease. Beta-Carotene is converted to Vitamin A and becomes a powerful free radical scavenger in the body. Free radicals are known to damage healthy organs and cause a variety of health problems. Shark Cartilage contains collagen and glycosaminoglycans. This combination makes shark cartilage a powerful anti-inflammatory and wound-healing agent that is non-toxic and has no known side-effects. Studies performed at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology have shown that Shark Cartilage contains a protein that impedes the formation of blood vessels to tumors.
4. Proper Organ and Nerve Function. Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is able to inhibits the oxidation of lipids (fats) and has been found to function as a preventative against the formation of certain types of tumors. Vitamin B12 maintains fertility, promotes normal growth and development, and prevents nerve damage by maintaining the fatty sheaths that protect nerve endings.
5. Healthy Joints and Mobility. Oyster Shell is extremely rich in Calcium, the major constituent in the structural framework of bones. Iron is necessary for the formation of hemoglobins and myoglobins (a type of hemoglobin found in muscle tissue). Iron deficiency can cause weakness, anemia, digestive disturbances, fragile bones and hair loss.
6. Strong Immune System. Blue Green Algae is a very rich chlorophyll source and has been shown to enhance the health of the entire body, strengthen the immune system, promote intestinal regularity and the healing of wounds, boost hemoglobin production and help purify the blood. Taurine (Feline formula only; dogs make their own) plays a vital role in maintaining the correct composition of bile and solubility of cholesterol. It is also an antioxidant immune regulator and has also been found to be necessary for chemical reactions that produce normal vision.

Dog hot spots or superficial pyoderma, is a skin infection caused when pathogenic bacteria and fungus break down normally resistant immune systems creating red and raw patches on the dog’s fur and hide. These circular areas can become swollen and cause hair loss making the exposed area open to greater infection and opportunistic diseases. They can develop from injection site irritations, flea bites and brush and bramble scratches.
Dog hot spots are so named due the inflamed nature of the affliction and of the pet’s desire to cool and relieve the area by licking the wound. The spots are usually painful and itchy and can secrete odorous pus.
Our Hot Spot Treatment Spray is specially formulated for use on dogs or cats. Containing natural eucalyptus extract and aloe vera, NuVet® Hot Spot Treatment Spray soothes and aids in the healing of hot spots, skin irritations, flea bites, cuts, abrasions, allergic dermatitis and other non-specific dermatitis.

NuVet Labs® Ear Cleaner and Therapeutic Treatment
Dog ears can be erect (pricked), bent or completely flopped over, but however they are shaped on the outside, the anatomy on the inside remains the same. Parasites, moisture and debris can easily be trapped inside the ear canal, leading to irritation that, if left unchecked, will invite bacteria and yeast to take up residence in the affected area. Then, voila! Your dog develops a canine ear infection.
Our Therapeutic Treatment and Ear Cleaner is a unique formulation containing all natural eucalyptus and soothing aloe vera. This is the perfect solution for irritated and infected canine or feline ears.
Removes ear wax
