Labrador Puppy Nutrition and Health Info

Establish an Active, Healthy Lifestyle for Your Pup

We believe that if your pup starts its life as healthy as possible, both you and your puppy will reap the benefits. At Moose & Mary we sell health, and we encourage each prospective client to realize that by buying a dog of this quality and price from us you may be saving yourself from large vet bills in the future. New clients often tell us that they wish they had come to us first because the puppy they first purchased cost them thousands in vet bills down the road.

We strongly encourage all new puppy owners to read the information provided on this page. This portion of our website exists especially for you. The page may be lengthy, but it includes critical information that all dog owners should know before bringing home their new family member.

You can do your part to keep your dog healthy and happy by following these instructions:

  1. Feed your puppy properly with a proven brand. We are unapologetic fans of Royal Canin. This feed has proven itself over time, and we highly recommend this dog food for the first year of your puppy’s life.

    We believe that a healthy puppy starts with a healthy diet; that is why we highly recommend quality food and supplements. For years, we have fed our dogs Royal Canin, which is considered a very reputable and high-ranking dog food. Royal Canin has committed to putting in the time and doing the research to create a great line of dietary care for your puppy.

  2. Add 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 supplement brand in the breeder world. We also recommend NuVet® supplements for joint health; we use these at our own kennels with all of our puppies and older dogs.
  3. Provide proper crate training early for the benefit of life-long comfort and the safety of your forever companion while you are away from home.
  4. Isolate your puppy from all pet stores, pet parks and public places until the pup has completed its final 12-week shots. Following this rule will protect your puppy’s immunity until it is fully prepared to safely enjoy the outdoors and public places.
  5. Remember that we are here for you. Our wonderful team is 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. Supplement your pup’s nutrition with NuVet Labs® formula. A major cause of poor health in our beloved pets is the lack of proper nutrition in their diets. This is why NuVet Plus® was developed. NuVet Plus® is the culmination of eight years of research and development and was formulated with the goal of creating a nutrient-rich recipe that surpasses mere vitamin replenishment. Indeed, this supplement provides full-spectrum nutritional support that focuses on boosting your pup’s immune system and overall health.

    Keeping your pup’s immune system strong is crucial in today’s environment. Household toxins, fertilizers, pesticides and even many of today’s pet foods leave your puppy’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.

    A 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 pets’ health and keep them healthy. This supplement is made using natural ingredients formulated in a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Registered Facility according to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.

    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 puppy will love. To order by phone, call 1-800-474-7044 and mention order code # 487890.

Your pup’s health and nutrition are of utmost importance to us. We do extensive research on all local vets that care for Moose & Mary litters, the food we feed our puppies and adult dogs, and the needs of English Labradors because we want your puppy to come home to you as healthy as possible.

The importance of your puppy’s health does not stop once your new family member arrives at its forever home! We want to make sure you have all the knowledge you need before you bring your new puppy home. We have provided crucial information that every puppy owner should know, and as always, our team is available to answer any questions you may have.
