Blue-Green Algae - Cyanobacteria, the scientific name of blue-green algae is nature's most basic food. The name "cyanobacteria" comes from the color of the bacteria (Greek: κυανός (kyanós) = blue). These little phylum's of bacteria are a major component of the marine nitrogen cycle and an important primary producer in many areas of the ocean. Existing at the beginning of the food chain, it provides nutrition in its simplest form. Blue-Green Algae has a greater amount of protein than any other whole food. It provides the essential nutrients for the health of the physical body, and the smooth operation of the brain and nervous system. Blue-Green Algae is a very rich chlorophyll source and has been shown to enhance the health of the entire body, strengthen the immune system, promote intestinal regularity and the healing of wounds, boosts hemoglobin production and helps purify the blood.

BETA-CAROTENE - The name "carotene" was first used in the early 19th Century by a scientist named Wachenroder after he discovered he could make a compound from crystallized carrot roots. Beta-carotene is a member of the carotenoids, which are highly pigmented (orange, red, yellow). Fat-soluble compounds are naturally present in many fruits, grains, oils, and vegetables (carrots, green plants, squash, spinach, apricots, and peppers). Alpha, beta, and gamma carotene are considered pro-vitamins because they can be changed to active vitamin A. The precursor to Vitamin A becomes a powerful free radical scavenger in the body. Vitamin A is essential in skeletal growth, testicular and ovarian function, embryonic development, and differentiation of tissues. It is crucial for proper eye function and possible cataract reduction. Vitamin A is necessary for healthy skin and mucous membranes, the body’s first line of defense against invading microorganisms and toxins, and promotes the immune response. Beta-Carotene and Vitamin A destroy carcinogens (cancer-causing agents), guards against heart disease and stroke, and lowers cholesterol.

Ingredients in NuVet Plus part 3

AMINO ACIDS - Necessary for the synthesis of body proteins and many other tissue constituents. Amino acids aid in building new muscle, bone and tendon cells; play a vital role in metabolism, stamina, and brain function; and enable vitamins and minerals to be properly absorbed and assimilated. There are approximately twenty-eight amino acids that combine in various ways to create hundreds of different types of proteins. Some amino acids enhance the immune system by stimulating the antioxidant activity of certain enzymes and can help prevent skin and coat problems. Others prevent premature aging, tumors, nerve disease and connective tissue disorders.
Pet foods high in protein may or may not contain all the necessary amino acids to maintain proper health of a pet. This deficiency could cause a host of problems ranging from indigestion, stunted growth, nervous disorders, or worse. NuVet Plus™, with its specifically blended natural ingredients, contains all the critical amino acids that must be introduced through the diet for proper health.

Australian Shepherd Grooming















This is Max, he is a 6 year old Blue Merle (color) Aussie.
Full Grooming for an Australian Shepherd should be done every 6- 8 weeks. Weekly brushing is very important to keep the coat free from mats and to help distribute the sebum oils.

Tools needed are: Pin and Slicker brushes, wide tooth and standard steel combs (Greyhound), scissors, toe nail clippers, shedding rake, shampoo and coat conditioner. I also like to use the Blueberry facial on Aussie's to help keep their faces nice and bright.

NuVet Plus endorsed by The Stuffed Poodle Gang

These wonderful stuffed animals which happen to be poodles by the way, sit on my desktop here in my office. The bottle of NuVet Plus is here too and every morning my dogs start their day with a NuVet wafer.
The black poodle on the left and the black & white one on the right are very old. I was very happy to find them at an antique shop. I get lots of poodle items from my customers and friends at Christmas time as gifts.

ALPHA AMYLASE - A soluble fiber digestant. We believe NuVet Plus™ is the finest pet supplement available, however it must be able to be digested as efficiently as possible. Alpha Amylase creates the means by which the ingredients will be absorbed into the body as rapidly as possible without diminishing NuVet Plus™' powerful antioxidant capabilities.
Amylase is the name given to glycoside hydrolase enzymes that break down
starch into maltose molecules. Although the amylases are designated by different Greek letters, they all act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Under the original name of diastase, amylase was the first enzyme to be found and isolated (by Anselme Payen in 1833).
This enzyme which breaks down (hydrolyzes) starch, the reserve carbohydrate in plants, and glycogen, the reserve carbohydrate in animals, into reducing fermentable sugars, mainly maltose, and reducing nonfermentable or slowly fermentable dextrins. Amylases are classified as saccharifying (β-amylase) and as dextrinizing (α-amylases). The α- and β-amylases are specific for the α- and β-glucosidic bonds which connect the monosaccharide units into large aggregates, the polysaccharides. The α-amylases are found in all types of organs and tissues, whereas β-amylase is found almost exclusively in higher plants

Ingredients in NuVet Plus part 1

I have decided to go through the ingredient list one by one to let you know what is in them and what each ingredient does. For the next 34 days I will post one ingredient and explain how it will help protect your beloved friend.
First let me tell you a little about NuVet Plus. Dogs and cats alike can have problems like; allergies, skin and coat issues, arthritis, tumors, cancer, cataracts, strokes and heart disease. These are just a few of the 50 major diseases caused by Free Radicals that we all hear about these days. Unfortunately, these diseases lead to suffering and premature death in our pets. The veterinarians, physicians, pharmacists and nutritional scientists of NuVet Labs have blended a precise combination of human grade, natural vitamins, minerals, herbs, antioxidants, bioflavonoids, fatty acids and amino acids proven to combat the ravages of free radicals and to provide immune system support. Puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats should start on the path of disease protection.

ALFALFA (Medicago sativa) - The first documented use by the Chinese dates back to the 6th century. Chinese healers use alfalfa for kidney stones and normal water retention. First discovered by the Arabs, they dubbed this valuable plant the "father of all foods".
Alfalfa is also known as the "King of Plants. The herb belongs to the legume family, closely related to beans and peas. Alfalfa is an excellent source of vitamins D, E and K, beta-carotene, minerals, fiber, chlorophyll, calcium, proteins and fats. It is especially rich in the amino acid trypophane. It is considered to be a very nutritious herb, and is used to increase appetite, alleviate certain allergic reactions and help poor digestion. It may also reduce the inflammation due to arthritis and rheumatism. (Canine formula only)
