Shopping List 

Let’s Prepare for your new puppy! This list is the most important things to purchase before your puppy comes home. 

 

_____Food: We feed Purina Pro Plan Sport Chicken and Rice. We recommend not switching the food for at least a week. If switching your puppies food blend together gradually so they adjust gradually. 

 

____Probiotic: We recommend Purina forta- flora probiotic. We recommend starting when the puppy comes home and continuing for 30 days. The probiotic helps puppies adjust to the change in water and overall stress. 

 

____Vitamins: Puppies do lots of growing and developing in the first year. We recommend a daily multivitamin for our puppies. Nuvet Vitamins is not just a vitamin. It’s also an immune system builder with a precise balance of vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, amino acids and high-potency antioxidants. That’s why it works so well through all three stages of a dog’s life.

 

• For younger dogs (under 2 years old), it strengthens their immune system, while building and strengthening the cardiovascular, skeletal and nerve systems. 

 

• For dogs in their prime (age 2-8), it improves the luster of their skin and coat while protecting against allergies, skin and coat problems, staining from tears, digestive problems, etc. 

 

• For older dogs (over 8 years old), it helps protect against, tumors, premature aging, cataracts, heart conditions, diabetes and many types of cancer, while extending the life and improving the vitality of many dogs. 

 

I highly recommend NuVet Plus to keep your pet on the path to perfect health! It’s not available in stores, and is only available to the general public with an order code from an authorized pet professional. 

 

For your convenience, you may order directly from the manufacturer by calling 800-474-7044 and using Order Code: 29178, or ordering online at www.nuvet.com/29178 .  You can also save an additional 15% and assure you never run out of NuVet by choosing the “AutoShip” option at check out.  We also love the Joint supplement for our older dogs and the cat supplement for our kitties!
