Supplements & Wellness

Can I use two different supplements together?

In many cases, using multiple supplements for your pet is safe and indicated. However, it is crucial to ensure they do not contain the same active ingredients to avoid overconsumption, as well not providing two of the same types of supplements, e.g., two joint supplements, two seasonal allergy supplements, even if they have different active ingredients. Always consult with your veterinarian before introducing new supplements into your pet’s regimen to ensure the safety of the supplement with any prescribed medications, as well as making sure your pet will benefit from the addition of the supplement in their routine. Lastly, read the product label through entirely before providing any supplement to your pet.

Can the Nutri-Vet chewable tablets be crushed before administering to my dog?

It is okay to break or crush the Nutri-Vet chewable tablets into a food or treat to give them to your pet, if this is the best way to get them to take them. However, if your pets only consume a portion of the food or treat, do not re-dose the supplement, as this could result in providing too much of the active ingredient

How long can the Nutri-Vet Aspirin be used for?

Our Nutri-Vet Aspirin is intended to provide temporary relief of pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and joint problems in dogs. Nutri-Vet Aspirin should always be used in conjunction with a veterinarian and should not be used for more than 3 days in a row. If a 3-day course is not providing the adequate pain relief your pet needs, please reach back out to your veterinarian so they are able to determine the next course of action. Furthermore, make sure you are using the appropriate version for your size of dog, and read the label instructions in full before providing Nutri-Vet Aspirin to your dog

Grooming

The Veterinary Oral Health Council recommends all teeth, as well as all surfaces of the teeth should be brushed daily if possible.

When can I start using Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder in my puppy?

 Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder can be provided to dogs who have been weaned and are eating solid dog food. The amount offered should follow the directions for use chart on the packaging. Additionally, we always suggest speaking to your trusted veterinarian to ensure your little one will benefit from this supplement being added to their daily intake.

Do I still need to brush my dog’s teeth if I’m using Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder?

Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder is intended to help keep plaque and tartar at bay and should be used to assist in a complete oral health routine for your dog. The Veterinary Oral Health Council recommends that teeth should be brushed daily if possible, and Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder does not count as a replacement for that process.  

Can I use other dental supplements in conjunction with Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder?

We do not suggest using multiple supplements that are intended for the same purpose. Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new supplements into your pet’s regimen to ensure the safety of the supplement with any prescribed medications, as well as making sure your pet will benefit from the addition of the supplement in their routine.

Does Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder need to be provided with food?

Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder does not have to be provided with food. However, if your pet is more sensitive to new additions to their diet, incorporating it in with their food may help their GI tract become acquainted with the product.

Approximately how long do I need to use Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder before I start to see results?

When used with animals who have clean teeth, Nutri-Vet Dental powder will help to prevent buildup of plaque and tartar. Unfortunately, with dogs who currently have dental disease, the length of time it will take to see results will vary depending on the current condition of your dog’s teeth.

Is the Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder VOHC certified?

Nutri-Vet is reviewing the possibility of VOHC certification for our dental products. It’s important to note that the VOHC seal means that a dental product demonstrates dental efficacy for plaque or tartar and is not indicative of the safety of the product. Additionally, not all dental products go through the process of adding the VOHC seal to their product and this does not mean the product is not effective. Each company and brand determine whether they would like to pay the Veterinary Oral Health Council to evaluate the external testing that has been conducted to determine if the product demonstrates the effectiveness to control plaque and tartar control in animals.

Can I use Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder in animals not listed on the package?

Nutri-Vet supplements are specifically formulated for the species listed on the packaging and should not be used with any other species. Please reach out to your veterinarian so they can help you determine what products are appropriate for your pet.

Kelp can affect thyroid function; to ensure the safety of the pet’s we serve, it’s important to bring this to the attention to pet owners. We always suggest speaking to your trusted veterinarian before starting a supplement to make sure it is the right fit for your pup.

How long will the bag of Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder last?

Our Nutri-Vet Daily Dental powder comes in a 75g (2.65oz) pouch, which will last a medium sized dog approximately 90 days. The amount given daily depends on the size of the animal, so the supply will last longer for smaller dogs than it would for larger breed dogs. Additionally, using the product for multiple pets in the same household will also affect the amount of time the product lasts.

What is the shelf-life for the Daily Dental powder?

The best by date of the product is two years after it has been manufactured and is listed on the back of the package.

I lost the included scoop, what can I use instead?
