This is a Superior food that we feel very Happy and proud to recommend such a great quality food for our puppies We are Feeding our own dogs and puppies this food with great results!!
Goto the above site and I Truly feel you too will agree.
NuVet is a chewable wafer that he already enjoys daily as a treat. It is vital to the development of his immune system, especially during his first years, but nutritionally beneficial for life.
We Highly recommend this the all-natural immune system builder that your pup is already enjoying daily.
In addition to building immunity it also helps with developing a healthy coat, fight off allergies, and prevent many of the health issues that are not covered by vaccines, thereby extending your dog's longevity
Be sure to order Both Food and Supplements PRIOR to receiving your pup. It is not available in stores and only available to the general public with the recommendation of an authorized pet professional.

IMPORTANT PLEASE HAVE THIS SET UP IN PLACE FOR PUPS ARRIVAL (print this section out)
If you plan on other arrangements then recommended please contact us
Any and ALL recommendations are for the benefit of the puppy having the smoothest change as possible!!!!!
Please Take our advice you wont be sorry!!
****Purchase a wire crate, I like the Double Door Type, (No divider for your puppy). .
We HIGHLY recommend attaching the exercise pen to your puppy’s crate (as pictured below)
which makes the pup feel less confined and will make the crate and housetraining less stressful on a puppy.
A Stressed Puppy is a sick puppy , this makes introduction to their new home alot easier on the puppy,
which is what we all want isn't it? It is soo unfair to put a pup in a crate and expect it to not have to potty, and then have to walk in it, they need a secure place to be as well, that is why the expen and crate set up is the absolute best confinement for a puppy!!! We want the pups new home to be a stress free as possible as i am sure you do.
If you had planned on putting up gates in a area please reconsider, not only can your pup chew on baseboards, floors, rugs, they have a potential of ingesting this and that can be fatal, and or require emergency surgery,
Not to mention this set up aids in House training and Crate training,
Puppy needs to be in his area (expen and crate) 2 hrs to every 1 hour of play time,
this will prevent creating a problem of the pup becoming overly stressed when you are not able to be with them, and require puppy Prozac in the future
you cant possibly be there to watch the pup 24/7 and is NOT fair to close pup up in a crate for any length of time , he cannot and should not be expected to hold himself he is just a baby!!!!
Your allowing him to run the house is not even a option, it only takes one second and they can get into trouble just like a toddler, you would have a playpen for your baby, why not for your puppy?? We do not advise things for the new puppy just to be difficult, we advise things to make life easier for the puppy and for you, These are tried and true methods!!!!
This set up is MUCH Safer for your new pup, and will help to reduce stress of the change of environment,it also will aide in crate training and housebreaking, to make the transition easier
please use ex-pen crate recommendation. SEE PICTURE BELOW
Crates, Exercise pens may be ordered thru (www.jefferspet.com or www.kvvet.com (price check with shipping)
**********************************************************OxyFresh EAR Cleaner,the Ear cleaner is the best i have ever used!!!
Shampoo,Tooth Paste/Gel for teeth and for scrapes works great!!
also they have a all natural calming agent too many products to list, I am thrilled with them,
*********************************************************Food & Water
First, in order to avoid an upset tummy, please use bottled water exclusively for the first several days at home. Once your pup seems more comfortable and into your routine, gradually switch his water to your regular (tap) water, Watching for UTI, peeing to much or having trouble peeing etc. Again, gradual is the key word here. Over the course of several days, reduce the amount of bottled water while increasing the amount of tap water. This will ease the transition and potentially save you from cleaning up vomit and diarrhea.
You will no doubt want to know what sort of food your growing puppy will need.
we also recommend any treats on this site as well, If you do NOT have the food your pup will not be released
These products are all natural ,, they are careful in how they process them, and it is made in the US
Please continue using these products for the health of your pet,,For Life
Your pet will eat less and digest it better then any food on the shelves at any pet store
We have choosen to get our Dogs on this food due to the quality ,,, they have NEVER had a recall ,
IT is required to have this food in Place for pups arrival, why? because you cant change a pups food quickly it takes gradual change over a several week period, Why anyone would choose another food over this is beyond me, This is the best food on the market!!!
Get On Auto Ship so you do not run out of food,
(you can adjust as you see how much you use) and to save money!

LEPTOSPIRA VACCINE--Adverse Reactions
PERMISSION GRANTED TO CROSS-POST THIS MESSAGE.
Regarding the Lepto vaccine, on Page 2 of the American Animal Hospital Association's 2003 Canine Vaccine Guidelines and Recommendations, it states that "Optional or 'noncore' vaccines are those that the committee believe should be considered only in special circumstances because their use is more dependent on the exposure risk of the individual animal. Issues of geographic distribution and lifestyle should be considered before administering these vaccines. In addition, the diseases involved are generally self-limiting or respond readily to treatment. The committee believes this group of vaccines comprises distemper-meases virus (D-MV), canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV), Leptospira spp., Bordetella bronchispetica, and Borrelia burdorferi."
Furthermore, on Page 7, Tables 1 of the AAHA Guidelines referenced above, it states under Revaccination (Booster Recommendations) that the Leptospira interrogans vaccine "....this product carries high-risk for adverse vaccine events." Under Overall Comments and Recommendations they elaborate: "Anecdotal reports from veterinarians and breeders suggest that the incidence of postvaccination reactions (acute anaphylaxis) in puppies (<12 wks of age) and small-breed dogs is high. Reactions are most severe in young (<9 wks of age) puppies. Routine use of the vaccine should be delayed until dogs are >9 wks of age."
On Page 8 of the 2006 American Animal Hospital Association's Canine Vaccine Guidelines, it states that "Veterinarians are advised of anecdotal reports of ACUTE ANAPHYLAXIS in TOY BREEDS following administration of leptospirosis vaccines. Routine vaccination of toy breeds should only be considered in dogs known to have a high exposure risk."
Leptospira is a “killed” vaccine and is associated with clinically significant adverse reactions. According to the 2003 AAHA Guidelines (Page 16), "...killed vaccines are much more likely to cause hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., immune-mediated disease)." Further, the AAHA task force reports on Page 18 that, "Bacterial vaccines, especially killed whole organism products …..are much more likely to cause adverse reactions than subunit or live bacterial vaccines or MLV vaccines, especially if given topically. Several killed bacterial products are used as immunomodulators/adjuvants. Thus, their presence in a combination vaccine product may enhance or suppress the immune response or may cause an undesired response (e.g., IgE hypersensitivity or a class of antibody that is not protective)."
A fuller discussion of the Lepto vaccine can be found on Page 14, in which it is reported that, "Immunity is an ill-defined term for Leptospira ssp. products. If immunity is defined as protection from infection or prevention of bacterial-shedding, then there is little or no enduring immunity."
Dr. Alice Wolf, Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, stated in an address (Vaccines of the Present and Future WSAVA 2001 - Vaccines of the Present and Future) at the 2001 World Small Animal Veterinary Association World Congress that: "The most reactive vaccines for dogs include leptospirosis bacterin and Borrelia [Lyme]vaccine.".
Personally, I found the most stunning quote in this entire document to be on Page 18, in which the task force declares: "However, the ethical issue that our profession struggles with today is whether economics justifies giving an animal a drug (vaccines are biologic drugs) that is not necessarily required. As a minimum, we should allow pet owners to make this choice rather than make it for them."
Q. Some Vets recommend Lyme Disease and Leptospirosis vaccines every year. Are all these vaccinations really necessary THINK AGAIN!!!
A> The American Animal Hospital Association recently released the 2003 Vaccination Guidelines for dogs. Leptospirosis and Lyme disease vaccines were listed as ”non- core vaccines”, not recommended in parts of the country like Texas where dogs are not at risk or very low risk of contracting these diseases. Texas A&M Veterinary School does not recommend these vaccines.
Leptospirosis is a kidney infection contracted from water contaminated by wildlife. There are an average of 12 cases per year in dogs in Texas. Although people can get Leptospirosis from contaminated water, there is little risk of contracting it from an infected dog. Leptospirosis is the component of vaccines that is most likely to cause an adverse reaction, and it should not be given to dogs less than 12 weeks of age.
Lyme disease is a tick- transmitted disease, found in the New England States, Michigan and Minnesota. In Texas we do not have the reservoir deer mouse and Ixodid Tick relationship necessary for Lyme disease transmission. Texas A&M University has never seen a case of Lyme disease in a dog from Texas. What confuses the situation is a similar disease in Texas, Southern Tick- Associated Rash Illness or STARI.
Lyme vaccine offers no benefit to you or your pet."
THese Vaccines can and DO cause severe sometimes FATAL reaction!!!
LYME Vaccine
"What I learned: Many vets stress the danger of Lymes disease
affecting a dog's kidneys, supposedly in a fatal way. Guess what? So far there
has NEVER been a CONFIRMED case of Lyme disease involving kidneys in a
dog –- just speculation, hype and several possible maybes. It has NOT
happened in a provable way up to this point!!!!!"
"Calculating exposure risk. If your animal never leaves the fenced-in back yard,
the exposure risk will be considered minimal and revaccinating only every two
or three years may be acceptable, but if it's out and about and has frequent
contacts with other animals, it should be vaccinated yearly. This is foolish for
several reasons. Vaccinations are, first off, good for life. Secondly, if the
animal is protected for three years against the remote chance of one
exposure, why wouldn't it be protected against the chance of repeated
exposures over that same period? A human regularly mingling with masses of
people doesn't get a booster vaccination from his/her doctor any more often
than someone living in a nunnery. Repeat vaccinations are never given to
people, so why should animals be treated any differently?
Lyme disease in dogs is virtually non-existent, but I am seeing quite a few
cases of a new tick disease called erlichliosis or anaplasmosis. The symptoms
are virtually the same, and the treatment and recovery are also identical. The
animal is usually back to normal in 36 hours. The only difference I can
determine is that this disease only has to be treated for 14 days while Lyme
disease needs antibiotic treatment for at least 30 days, or it relapses. The test
for it is probably not reliable. Only treat for it if symptoms are present.
Symptoms for both are an acute multiple leg lameness (multiple means more
than one leg). It's possible to also see behavioral changes such as
incoordination with this disease."
Dr Busby
Bordetella (kennel cough Vaccine)
First off it only covers a couple of germs that cause kennel cough, like the common cold there are millions, this vaccine is like giving water, unless required to board or go to training class dont waste your money
Corona Vaccine
Q Does my dog need Corona virus vaccine?
The American Animal Hospital Association released the 2003 Vaccination Guidelines for dogs. Corona virus vaccine was not recommended. Texas A&M Veterinary School has not recommended Corona vaccine for over 15 years. Nor have they seen it in a Adult dog
Corona virus causes a self- limiting diarrhea only in dogs less than 8 weeks of age.
It is a very rare disease. At Texas A&M they have only seen one case in over 10 years.
Scientists have never been able to demonstrate that corona virus causes disease in adult dogs. Adult dogs are immune to corona virus whether they are vaccinated or not. Vaccination of adult dogs provides no benefit. and can cause serous sometimes Fatal Reaction.

Does my dog need a “booster shot” for rabies,distemper & parvovirus every year?
The American Animal Hospital Association, The American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Association of Feline Practitioners, and Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine, as well as the Texas Department of Public Health have revised their recommendations for pet vaccinations.
Annual vaccinations for diseases like
Rabies, Distemper and Parvovirus are no longer recommended.
The duration of immunity for these vaccines has been scientifically proven to be over 7 years, and probably the life of the pet. More importantly, it has been proven that re-administration of these vaccines does not make the patient more immune. The immunity induced by the first vaccine blocks the next vaccine.
The client is paying for something with no effect; except that the pet is being exposed the unnecessary risk of an adverse reaction.
Of course you must follow Legal requirements reguarding Rabies, hopefully these requirements will be relaxed soon.
MICRO CHIPPING CLICK HERE
if you are considering Micro chipping your puppy please REVIEW
Important, PLEASE do NOT use PETSMART VETS,!!! I will null contract if you do.
Supposedly their policy is you drop off your puppy ,, This is NOT normal procedure for any vet to recommend and very dangerous !!! I am fed up with getting receipt for several hundred Dollars for a well puppy check, not to mention Jeopardizing your puppies Healthy and well beingI do not recommend even taking your puppy into a Pet Store until AFTER it has had all vaccinations!!
We No Longer Require a Vet Check within 3 Buisness Days.
Your Pup is updated on all vaccines and worming at time of pickup
