Frequently Asked Questions

Top 10 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 our wholesale price. It is an automatic refill of your NuVet LabsŪ supplements and the shipping frequency is calculated according to the number of dogs you have and how many supplements they each get per day. You may cancel at any time for any reason with no fees or penalties but as long as you stay on the program you will receive the 15% discount.

Q: Can NuJoint PlusŪ be given with NuVet PlusŪ? What is the difference?

A: The ingredients in the NuVet PlusŪ and NuJoint PlusŪ do not overlap. NuVet PlusŪ is a more general multivitamin and supplement that helps boost your dog's overall health, helping with things such as skin and coat problems (allergies, itching & scratching, hotspots, etc.) while also strengthening the immune system, skeletal structure, and nervous system. NuJoint PlusŪ is a hip and joint therapy that is specifically formulated to focus on the bones and joints. It is primarily used for either larger breed or older dogs, although many of our customers use it in conjunction with the NuVet PlusŪ even if their dog is not experiencing any current problems (it works great preventatively). Our suggestion would be to use the NuVet PlusŪ, since it is a more complete supplement and helps with many different things, bones and joints included. Then, if you feel your dog needs extra support with his/her bones and joints, we would recommend incorporating the NuJoint PlusŪ.

Q: Why does my vet tell me not to use NuVet PlusŪ? My pet’s food already has the “same” vitamins, is it okay to give extra vitamins?

A: Many veterinarians have been trained in the study of medicine, and are therefore very prone to explore a medicinal course of action in response to an ailment, instead of taking a holistic approach. Additionally, even with the highest quality foods; cooking and heat are part of their manufacturing process. This process alone kills off vital and naturally occurring nutrients from many of the ingredients. Like vegetables, when you cook them, you cook 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 PlusŪ). No ingredient in NuVet PlusŪ is ever cooked or heat treated. 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. This “cold-processing” of NuVet PlusŪ 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 the best food on the market.

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 PlusŪ and NuJoint PlusŪ have to be given with food?

A: NuVet PlusŪ and NuJoint PlusŪ can be given at any time of day, with or without food. They can even be given as a treat, once daily. NuVet PlusŪ and NuJoint PlusŪ contain all-natural, human-grade (non-synthetic) ingredients that will not have any negative reactions with any medications your pet may be taking.
