At Champs French Bulldogs, we focus on simple habits that help Frenchies thrive: quality food, smart training, routine vet care—and for many families, a daily supplement can be a helpful add-on. That’s why many of our puppy families choose NuVet® products as part of their everyday routine. Always consult your veterinarian for advice that fits your individual dog.

Our Experience at Champs (Why We Landed on NuVet®)

If you’ve chatted with us or adopted a puppy, you know we care a lot about basic wellness—good food, sensible supplements, and keeping things simple. For years we avoided most chewable pet vitamins because many include added sugars. When we evaluated NuVet®, we liked that their chewables are made without added sugars, so we didn’t have to hide capsules in food or battle picky eaters.

Before that, we were buying multiple bottles of different human-grade supplements and giving 3–5 capsules a day—costly and inconvenient. After looking into NuVet’s ingredient quality (human-grade) and seeing that many components matched what we were already using, consolidating into one product became more cost-effective and easier for daily use.

What Is NuVet Plus® (in plain language)

NuVet Plus® is a blend of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, and select botanicals formulated for everyday wellness support. It’s designed to complement a normal diet (kibble, cooked, or raw) and regular vet checkups.

  • Focus on ingredient quality and digestibility
  • Antioxidant components to support normal oxidative balance
  • A convenient single product versus multiple bottles

We recommend watching for changes in skin/coat, energy, appetite, and stool quality when you add any supplement. Individual results vary, so partner with your veterinarian.

Why our families consider NuVet®

  • Complements a balanced diet and regular vet care
  • Daily chewable or powder—easy to give with meals
  • Used widely by breeders and pet owners across the U.S.

 For everyday wellness support (not a treatment or cure)

Simple routine that works

  • Give the daily chew/powder with a regular meal.
  • Log changes (coat, stool, energy) for 2–3 weeks.
  • Keep fresh water available at all times.

Supplements don’t replace vet care. Think of NuVet® as a supporting layer alongside nutrition, training, and checkups.

For Puppies & Adults (General Guidance)

Early life (the first 1–2 years) is a busy time for immune, bone, and organ development. Some families choose a daily supplement to help round out routine nutrition—especially if their diet is limited or they’re not feeding premium fresh foods.

  • Puppies: Ask your vet when to start; many begin once the pup settles at home.

Adults/Seniors: Introduce gradually with food; monitor tolerance and overall comfort.

Key Product Highlights (from NuVet® literature)

  • 100% natural approach; cold-processed (not high heat)
  • No sugars, no fillers
  • Formulated by veterinarians, physicians, pharmacists & nutrition scientists
  • Manufactured in a human-grade facility
  • Long-standing U.S. company with breeder/owner adoption
  • Typically purchased online/by phone (not sold in big-box pet stores)

Important: Supplements are not medicines. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Always consult your veterinarian.

Practical Notes for Frenchie Families

 

  • Picky eaters: The chewable is handy if your dog refuses capsules; the powder mixes into meals.

  • Diet type: Works alongside kibble, cooked, or raw diets. If you feed raw, still aim for balanced nutrition—supplements don’t replace complete formulations.

  • Monitor & document: Note coat quality, stool consistency, and energy during the first few weeks.

  • Your vet first: Especially for puppies, seniors, breeding dogs, or dogs with medical conditions.
