Puppy Nutrition

We recommend you to buy a bag of food and NuVet Vitamins before you pick up your puppy.

Our puppies get a daily vitamin, the NuVet wafer. We feed our Bernedoodle puppies Nutri-Source Puppy Food. If your puppy will be 50 pounds or more, you should feed them Large breed Puppy Food. If they remain under 50 pounds, feed them Small & Medium Breed puppy food. It is available on Amazon. It is also available at most Menards and some Pet Supply Stores. Locate other stores near you on the NutriSource website.

NuVet Plus offers benefits for:

SEL-PLEX is the only FDA-reviewed AND the first European Union-approved form of organic selenium supplement. SEL-PLEX is proven to be more digestible (95% or higher digestibility) to support metabolic processes and is better retained within pets than inorganic forms. Over 20 years of research proves SEL-PLEX as a proprietary form of ORGANIC selenium yeast. SEL-PLEX is an anti-oxidant that may aid in preventing age related cognitive decline, immunity, reproduction, and may help maintain a healthy anti-oxidant status by neutralizing free radicals in the blood stream.

BIOPLEX is the patent name for the trace minerals used in NutriSource dog foods. It provides organic mineral nutrition via zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt and iron in a form as close to nature as possible. Organic mineral sources, such as BIOPLEX, can be characterized by the presence of an amino acid carrier. The organic carrier molecule is chemically bound to the trace mineral of interest, making the mineral more bio-available (absorbable) to the pet. BIOPLEX reinforces mineral status, leading to optimal overall health, better immune status and reproductive function. Over 20 years of research shows clear performance (98% bio-available) when compared to traditional inorganic trace minerals. BIOPLEX helps to maintain a healthy skin and coat, aids digestion and supports immune function.

BIO-MOS, a prebiotic, supports the gut integrity and overall intestinal health of dogs. Designed to feed the gastrointestinal tract and enhance natural defenses, it promotes good bacteria and supports the influence of microbial populations. BIO-MOS works in dogs of all ages and performs well during periods of stress. Backed by over 700 research studies and proven to be 92% effective, BIO-MOS removes pathogens (i.e.; salmonella) from the gastrointestinal tract thereby improving nutrient absorption.

NutriSource dry dog foods are packed with probiotics for superior microbial digestion. Five live bacteria (dried Lactobacillus acidophilus, dried Enterococcus faecium, dried Aspergillus niger, dried Trichoderma longibrachiatum, dried Bacillus subtilis), coated on the outside of the kibble, absorb quickly and therefore colonize faster to aid in digestion. In addition, Yea-Sacc, a yeast culture strain (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), is specifically selected for its influence on dog digestion. Yea-Sacc works in the stomach to stimulate microbial digestion allowing for better bacterial colonization in the intestinal tract.
