A Lab’s nutrition is one of the key elements of their overall health. As a breeder we have the responsibility to give a puppy the best possible start. Through genetic testing of the parents, careful selection, planning, and extensive care as the puppies are born we are able to ensure a healthy start for our puppies. However it’s a “Start”. After a puppy is picked up by their family, it is then their responsibility to ensure their puppy’s health into adulthood and beyond.
Nutrition, aka what a dog eats, is a major factor for a dog’s health and well being. Many dog food companies are looking at increasing profit margins and are rapidly settling for low-quality and subpar ingredients. The saying, “you get what you pay for” is often true when it comes to dog food. But you don’t simply want to buy the most expensive food and assume it is good. Doing research on the brand of dog food you’re buying is very important.
Many of our puppy families choose to keep their puppy on the same food they were raised on. We can assure you, this is a good option. We have done our own extensive research on many different types of dog food over the years and we have landed on Life’a Abundance for our Dog’s food and Nuvet Labs for their daily supplements.

The supplement we use is NuVet Plus. We couldn’t be happier with this supplement. It has done amazing things for our Labs, especially for our mother dogs. NuVet is made in the USA, and only uses natural ingredients. It contains all of the important antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that a puppy needs to combat free radicals and develop healthy skin, coat, joints, and eyes.
