________ We understand that it is a personal choice to use NUVET vitamins and feel that they are a benefit to any dogs health. NUVET vitamins are produced in a lab along with human grade vitamins and are made up of top quality ingredients. We have a 1.5 year guarantee on our puppies, but feel strongly that the vitamins are a positive indicator of an immune building process that you as the new owner continue with. Due to the varying kinds of dog food on the market and the different environmental conditions the dogs come in contact with, we recommend you continue with regular use of NUVET PLUS. It is best to order vitamins one week prior to the puppy being placed in your home.
