The excitement of a new puppy can be made all the more joyful when they are made comfortable and well taken care of. When a new pup is ready to leave the litter, it’s important that certain needs be met which will help them bond with their new family. Just like a newborn child, puppies 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'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 in several crucial ways.
 
1. Boosts the immune system. Puppies 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 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, like children, require strong bones to support their active lifestyle. A new pup 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 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 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.  
 
Excellent also for dogs in the prime of their life and in their older years.

Frequently Asked Questions
 
Q: How much should I give my pet? A: The recommended maintenance dosage for a pet that weighs less than 5 lbs. is a half wafer/serving daily. Pets 5 to 100 lbs. need one wafer per day, and those over 100 lbs. need two wafers daily. If your pet is suffering from an illness you may increase the amount or give it to them twice a day. Remember, it is not possible to give them an overdose but for maximum effectiveness, doubling the recommended dosage is sufficient.
 
Q: What is the AutoShip program? A: Our AutoShip program allows you to receive a 15% discount off of your order of NuVet Plus® and 10% off of your order of NuJoint Plus®. It is an automatic refill of your NuVet Labs® supplements and the shipping frequency is calculated according to the number of pets you have and how many supplements they each get per day. As long as you stay on the program you will continue to receive the discount, although you may cancel at any time for any reason with no cancellation fees or penalties.
 
Q: My pet’s food already has the “same” vitamins, is it okay to give extra vitamins? A: The manufacturing process of pet food is essential to keeping the quality of food high. Pet foods that are cooked (almost all) tend to kill off vital and naturally occurring nutrients from many of the ingredients. For instance, vegetables, when you cook them, you’re cooking away crucial minerals, enzymes, and vitamins. This is why many food companies may add synthetic vitamins. Unfortunately, synthetic vitamins are not absorbed the same as are natural vitamins (like those contained in the NuVet Plus®). NuVet Labs uses a “cold processing” method in our manufacturing practices and none of our ingredients are exposed to heat, which removes crucial nutrients in the natural ingredients. Take, for example, the chicken liver. We use real chicken liver that is paddle-dried using a patented process. This ensures the fragile Vitamins A, E, B1, Digestive Enzymes and Omega Fatty Acids are not destroyed. The “cold-processing” of NuVet Plus® ingredients also ensures it is easy on the metabolism of your pet (easy to absorb and process). This is why the multivitamin supplement is still necessary and beneficial for your pet, even if they are getting a good dog food. Even good dog food uses grains and by-products, so make sure you read your pets dog food label before purchasing.
 
Q: How long does it take to receive my order? A: Depending upon your location and what day of the week you ordered, (ie. Friday as opposed to a Monday), your package should arrive by ground transportation between 3 to 7 business days. Expedited shipping is available upon request with a customer service representative.
 
Q: Do NuVet Plus® and NuJoint Plus® have to be given with food? A: NuVet Plus® and NuJoint Plus® can be given at any time of day, with or without food. They can even be given as a treat, once daily. NuVet Plus® and NuJoint Plus® contain all-natural, human-grade (non-synthetic) ingredients that will not have any negative reactions with any medications your pet may be taking.

                                                                        Knuckling over in Basset Hound Puppies
 
                                                                                               This article is written by Nancy Corkey/Corkey Bassets and is based on vet opinion and my experience.
 
I had litter of 7 puppies back in 2012, and at the age of about 6 weeks, I notice one of the puppies' leg seemed a little bowed. Not thinking much of it, I let a day go by and then noticed it was bowed some more to where the foot was slightly bending inward and under. There also was some shakiness to the leg when putting weight on it. A day or two later another puppy started the same way. Soon I had 4 pups from that litter all knuckling over. Out of panic I ran to the vets.  They put a panel of vets together to discuss this issue and set one of the pups on their table while they all discussed it.
Basically what was happening is that the leg bones were growing faster than the tendons. Without the stretching of the tendons, the legs were being pulled under.  I notice that it is more common when breeding the larger, heavier boned Bassets.

So I gave it some thought and came up with what I thought would be a brace that would stay in place on a pup's leg and slowly stretch the tendon. I shared the idea with one of my vets who thought it sounded great.
I went out and purchased some blank stencil sheets and velcro. I cut lengths of 2 inches wide and 5 inches long. I then rounded the corners and attached on one side a piece of velcro and then flip the strip over and on the other end attach the other piece of velcro so that the strip can wrap around the pup's leg and stick together. You can also cover the braces with sticky gauze strips as shown in the pictures below. You may also have to trim the brace to fit the size of the pup's legs but this size is a starting point.

I notice over night an improvement without having to change the diet of the pup. I made braces for the other 3 pups and kept them on for 2 days and with careful observation over the braces on the pups, I checked each leg to make sure that the braces were not causes any sores.

All went very well and within less than a week all four pups' legs were normal and remained normal.

Since this litter I have had two other litters in where a couple of pups started out with this knuckling but I was able to get the brace on early to prevent further knuckling. You should always consult your veterinarian in any health situation just to rule out any other issue. You should always make sure your pups are being fed proper nutrition and supplements, we recommend NuVet, which is on our site. Your pups should not be on concrete but on surface texture flooring so that they can grip with their toes and use their muscles and tendons properly. Slick surfaces with lack of exercise and nutrition can contribute to knuckling over but even in providing all that for pups the knuckling can occur due to fast growth rate.  By Nancy Corkey/Corkey Bassets
