Labrador Puppy Nutrition & Health

The Importance of an active, healthy lifestyle for your puppy.

We believe that if your puppy starts their life off as healthy as possible, both you and your puppy will reap the benefits during their lifetime. We strongly encourage all new puppy owners to read the information provided below. This entire portion of our website exists for you. It may be lengthy, but all information below is critical information that every dog owner should know when bringing home their new family member.

Be sure to take note specifically in regards to ordering NuVET PLUS! 

We cannot stress enough to each new member of the Moose & Mary family to please do your part:

  1. PROPER FEEDING by PROVEN FEED! We unapologetically have proven over and over again the success of Royal Canin in the first year of your puppy’s life.

  2. PROPER SUPPLEMENTS from a PROVEN SCIENTIFIC LABORATORY of American-made products like Royal Canin, for all your pup’s needs like agility, wellness, skin, and coat. Royal Canin is the supreme dietary supplements in the breeder world. We also recommend NUVET supplements which we consistently use at our own kennel with all of our puppies and older dogs for joint supplements.

  3. PROPER CRATE TRAINING early on for the benefit of life-long enjoyment and the safety of your forever companion while you are away from the home.

  4. PROPER ISOLATION from all pet stores, pet parks, and public places until your new puppy has completed its final 12 weeks shots. This will protect your puppy’s immunity until your pup is fully prepared for the outdoors and public places.

  5. ALWAYS REMEMBER, we have a wonderful team here, and we are here for you and your pet during this journey. We work with four of the leading veterinarians in our city to ensure that you are taking home a completely healthy pup on day one. We highly recommend you do thorough research to find a very qualified veterinarian in your city.

  6. According to NuVet Labs®, we know that a major cause of poor health in our beloved pets is the lack of proper nutrition with their diets. This is why they developed NuVet Plus®. NuVet Plus® is the culmination of 8 years of research and development, formulated with the goal of creating a nutrient-rich formula that would surpass mere vitamin replenishment. Instead, the supplement provides full-spectrum nutritional support that focuses on boosting your pet’s immune system and overall health.
    Keeping your pet’s immune system strong is crucial in today’s environment. Household toxins, fertilizers, pesticides, and even many of today’s pet foods leave your pet’s immune system susceptible. Regular and even premium brand pet foods can contain toxins, bad bacteria, and “meat by-products” (an industry term for anything other than meat). Other common ingredients are fillers like corn, wheat and barley. These food ingredients and other environmental factors are prime sources for poor health in your pet.
    Their team of pet industry scientists, veterinarians, and medical specialists created NuVet Plus® to be a high-quality supplement that incorporates a precise formula of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbs and more. NuVet Plus® brings together vital ingredients that perform synergistically to help improve your pet’s health and keep them healthy. Their supplement is made using Natural ingredients that are formulated in a FDA Registered Facility using CGMP standards.
    NuVet Plus® ingredients and nutrients are compounded to maintain their integrity and bio-digestibility for complete cellular infusion. They use special “paddle dried,” whole chicken liver that provides vitamin potency, as well as a taste your pet will love. TO ORDER BY PHONE, call 1-800-474-7044, Order code # 487890
