• Dr. Karen Becker; species approprite diet,
  

• • Why we Feed a Raw Dog Food?

    How much do you really know about your dog’s food? And why is everybody feeding a kibble-dry manufactured dog food ?

  • Why does your vet strongly recommends you to feed your dog dry commercial food.  Dog food companies have a clear, economic interest – selling their products. They have amazing advertising strategies and they have conquered every single corner of the market. They offer considerable discounts to breeders who sell their products, they are the main sponsors of dog shows, they hire high profile people, including vets, to talk about and recommend their products.

  • Most Vet Associations are sponsored by pet food companies! Just take a look at the American Veterinary Medical Association or the Australian Veterinary Association. Why would they recommend something different if their money comes from dog food companies?

    Moreover, feeding dry commercial food to dogs usually causes digestive problems, as canines have a shorter intestinal trac than us humans and you'll end up paying an expensive visit to your vet. I’m not saying vets wants your dog to be sick, but they are surely interested in having as many patients as possible, foot traffic equals money in their pockets. So, forgive me if I doubt most vet's ethics, but I am convinced that even if they were aware of the dangers of commercial food, they wouldn’t tell you. They would avoid losing both their sponsorships and their patients.

    Now, going back to dog food, one alternative you should really consider is species appropriate dog food, raw meat diet.
    The raw food diet for dogs focuses on feeding raw meat and eliminating any processed or commercial dry dog food.

  • Find a local Co-op for  Raw dog food, even less expensive buying in Bulk.             

    Here are 10 good reasons for feeding your dog raw food:

  • The chewing required by raw meaty bones prepares the stomach for proper digestion; Your dog will stop smelling like a dog!
  • Cleaner teeth and gums, no tartar, less dental treatment.
  • Healthier skin and shinier coat, no more fur loss, itching, skin rashes, irritations or very dry skin;
  • Smaller, inoffensive-smelling stools.
  • Less digestive problems – dogs don’t eat grains (contained in most commercial foods) and their digestive systems simply can’t handle these foods.
  • Less visits to your vet (less bills).
  • Puppies follow their natural course of growing, without having bursts of growth provoked by some commercial foods;
  • Dogs live longer healthier lives on a raw diet than dogs on commercial foods.
  • You pay less. You may be under the impression that feeding raw can affect your budget, but if you come to draw a line, taking into account the vet’s bills and the fact that the so-called high-quality premium dog foods are very expensive, you might realize that a raw diet is far cheaper.
  • 
    

  Dogs are carnivores, they need protein, its that simple.
  

•  

  Feeding your dog pure ingredients which are easily digestible is the ultimate way to go for your pet’s overall nutrition.  Since you know now that dogs CAN'T digest grains and starches and that they CAN digest protein, starting a healthy raw diet should be easy.

  Below is a basic feeding guide...
  increase or decrease portions based upon the age & health of your dog.

• Puppies under 6 months: 4.5% of puppy's weight, feed 3 times daily

  Puppies over 6 months: 3.5% of puppy's weight, feed 2-3 times daily

  Maintain adult weight: 2.5% of dog's weight, feed 1-2 times daily

  Gain weight on adult: 3% of weight, feed 1-2 times daily

  Weight loss on adult: 2% of weight, feed 1-2 times daily

  Pregnant female: 3.5% of weight, feed 1-2 times daily

  Nursing female: 6-8% of weight depending on the size of litter, feed 1-4 times daily

  How to calculate: if your dog weighs 70lbs in order to maintain weight calculate 70 x .025=1.75lbs PER DAY, for 2 portions divide by 2. Remember to adjust accordingly.

  More than mere vitamins, NuVetŪ goes beyond industry standards by using natural, human-grade ingredients that are microscopically tested for purity and potency. We then utilize a FDA registered laboratory for formulation and specially compound using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.
  "To make the highest quality nutritional pet supplement on the market today and to ensure that our product will fight diseases at their core while providing the ingredients vital to sustaining health and quality of life for your pets in their years to come."

• NUVET PLUS SUPPLIES CRUCIAL NUTRIENTS MISSING IN EVEN THE BEST DOG FOOD.

  Even the highest quality dog foods are cooked and the heat destroys much of the vital nutrients that are crucial to good health. Much like a human living on processed foods, animals thrive on a nutrient dense diet.

   

  PROTECTS and STRENGTHENS A Natural-POWERFUL immune system builder; not a vitamin. A synergistic blend of more than 30 ingredients and nutrients make it the most complete immune system support supplement available. When any of us (animal or human) has a healthy immune system, we typically live a longer, higher quality life! Healthy cells = healthy body

   

  EVERY INGREDIENT HELPS PROVIDE THE NUTRIENTS THEY NEED FOR A LONG, HEALTHY LIFE

  Natural; NO grains, no added sugars, no artificial fillers, no artificial binders, and no artificial flavors. This provides a superior treat replacement since so many foods and treats contain harmful ingredients such as soy, sweeteners, fillers and artificial flavors...

   

  SAFE AND EFFECTIVE: Manufactured in the USA in an FDA registered, human pharmaceutical laboratory (that's a strict as human Rx are made!) Unheard of in the pet supplement industry. This strict manufacturing process requires every ingredient to be microscopically tested to ensure quality and maximum potency. Recall reports show many products don't contain what's printed on the label and often contain harmful ingredients.

   

  22 YEARS IN BUSINESS & MILLIONS OF BOTTLES SHIPPED.

  Flawless record and hundreds of testimonials: That's a BIG deal if you check out http://www.petfoodrecall.org/ hundreds of recalls on treats and foods!

  Just because it's in the store or on-line doesn't mean it's safe OR beneficial and can be harmful if not manufactured like NuVet.

   

  ALL INGREDIENTS ARE HUMAN GRADE NOT ANIMAL GRADE!

  Good enough for you or me to eat! So called "animal or feed grade" allows for a manufacturer to include by-products, chemicals, fillers and meats from dying or diseased animals; something NuVet Labs would never allow or condone.

  If not human grade who knows what it really contains. Not worth the risk!

   

  VALUABLE FOR ALL STAGES OF LIFE FROM PUPS TO SENIORS

  By keeping their immune system at peak performance our pets are better equipped to stay healthy for the long run. It’s mostly water soluble and food based, making it almost impossible for a pet to overdose. It's also safe to take with medications.

   

  IT WORKS and ITS RISK FREE!

  Love it or return it. NuVet stands behind their products with a 60-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back! No questions asked.

• Help Heal and Protect your Pet – for life!

   NuVet Plus heals and protects against the ravages of free radicals that attack your pet throughout its life.

  I highly recommend it!  I believe so much in this product that it is now a requirement
  to provide to all my puppies.

• NuVet Labs™ main purpose is to help increase your pet’s longevity and quality of life. Our products, NuVet Plus™ for Canines and NuVet Plus™ for Felines, provide the very best human-grade, natural ingredients available and utilize the latest advances in medical, veterinary and nutritional science. We pledge to adhere to the highest standards in products and services. Our goal is to maintain a lasting and caring relationship with our family of NuVet Plus™ customers and their pets they love.

  Our 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.

  After extensive testing with many different combinations of ingredients, our scientists formulated NuVet Plus™. We believe, based on the most current medical, veterinarian and nutritional reports, NuVet Plus™ will combat the onslaught of free radicals in our companion pets. This unique formula consists of precise amounts of vitamins, minerals and high-potency antioxidants that when combined, create a synergistic and powerful boost to the immune system.

Puppies are raised in our home, Bio Sensor/Super dog program administered (These 5 exercises impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected. The result being an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference in its performance. Those who play with their pups and routinely handle them should continue to do so because the neurological exercises are not substitutions for routine handling, play socialization or bonding. Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises:

In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations.).

Pups are wormed twice, micro-chipped and vaccinated before going to new homes.

I temperament test puppies at 7 weeks of age, to know the puppies energy, drive and personality, to make recommendations to help match the puppies personality with the right family. The ultimate goal is fitting the puppy into the right environment where it is to be placed. Puppy buyers choose their own puppies based on photos, temperament test results, energy and drive, observed in the litter. I do not choose puppy for buyers, but do make recommendations from the information on the application and many conversations before puppy goes home.

I always reserve the right to deny the choice, if the choice is not the right puppy for the environment.

Puppy is sent home with a toy/towel with the litter mates and moms smell on it, a comforting scent, to help get thru the first couple of nights.  Also a printed weight chart since birth, a weekly diary of its first 8 weeks of life, 4-5 generation pedigree, results of temperament testing, micro-chipping paperwork & tag and AKC/UKC application to register puppy.

Buyer will love said puppy with daily hugs and will send periodic (bi-yearly- minimum) updates w/photos (throughout her/his life) to seller. Buyer will train said puppy basic commands; sit, stay, come, leave it, heal, also socialize said puppy in public a minimum of 50 times before 1 year of age and continue training if youre so inclined. I suggest a puppy class, then adult class before 2nd year of age,

Buyer will also offer Breeder/Seller first refusal of puppy if ever he/she is for sale.

Life long advice and support is offered to our puppy owners, 
by phone, email or face to face.

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. 
You are his life, his love, his leader.  He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. 
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion"

  The above link is an awesome resource in understanding the current controversy and ingredients inside most brands of available pet dog food. So much has changed so rapidly in the area of canine nutrition, and continues to do so. Some insist BARF is the safest way to go in light of all the controversy. We Feed  a Natural Raw diet - If one must feed a dry manufatured kibble, we suggest a HIGH quality kibble such as  Breeder's Choice Pinnacle or Taste Of The Wild  and recommend you do your homework and provide a quality diet to avoid a host of issues poor nutrition can cause. In light of the horrors of last year's recalls, we know any old kibble won't do!  For those not convinced by the fact that there is not a single tooth in a dog's head meant to grind grain possibly being a good reason to consider grains may not be the best primary protein source, or for just insuring optimal vitality, we recommend NuVet, an excellent supplement, digestive enzymes & coconut oil & fish oils.
