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.

Long-standing U.S. company with breeder/owner adoption

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

Amino Acids – Building blocks of protein; support muscle, tissue repair, and normal metabolic functions.

Blue-Green Algae – Whole-food source of protein and chlorophyll with naturally occurring trace minerals.

Beta-Carotene (Vitamin A precursor) – Antioxidant; the body can convert it to Vitamin A for normal vision, skin, and immune function.

Brewer’s Yeast – Natural source of B-complex nutrients; commonly used to support skin and coat.

Cat’s Claw Traditional botanical used for general wellness; discuss herbal additions with your vet.

Chicken Liver (paddle-dried) – Animal-based nutrients including Vitamins A, C, and B-complex, plus minerals; supports palatability.

Copper – Trace mineral involved in red blood cell formation and connective tissue integrity.

Evening Primrose Oil (GLA) – Source of gamma-linolenic acid; often used to support skin/coat comfort and general wellness.

Iron – Essential for normal oxygen transport in red blood cells and overall energy metabolism.

L-Methionine – Essential amino acid supplying sulfur; supports skin/coat integrity and normal detox pathways.

Magnesium – Macro-mineral used in energy production and normal muscle/nerve function.

Manganese – Trace mineral that supports normal skeletal development and metabolic enzyme activity.

Oyster Shell (Calcium) – Calcium source used with phosphorus and magnesium to support normal bone/teeth structure.

Papain – Proteolytic enzyme from papaya that assists with protein digestion.

Phosphorus – Works with calcium for bones/teeth; also supports energy metabolism.

Pine Bark Extract – Source of proanthocyanidins (antioxidant compounds) supporting normal oxidative balance.

Potassium (Citrate) – Electrolyte for normal heart rhythm, muscle function, and fluid balance.

Selenium – Antioxidant trace mineral that works with Vitamin E in normal immune and cellular protection.

Vitamin A (see Beta-Carotene) – Supports normal vision, skin, and immune function.

Vitamin B-Complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 + folate) – Broad support for metabolism, red blood cell formation, nerves, skin, and appetite.

B1 (Thiamine): carbohydrate metabolism; nerves/muscles.

B2 (Riboflavin): energy metabolism; skin/eyes.

B3 (Niacin): metabolic support; skin and digestive comfort.

B5 (Pantothenic Acid): energy release; helps utilize other vitamins.

B6 (Pyridoxine): metabolism; red blood cells; electrolyte balance.

B12 (Cobalamin): red blood cells; growth and appetite; nerve maintenance.

Vitamin C (Ester-C®) – Antioxidant; supports normal immune function and collagen formation.

Vitamin E – Lipid-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes.

Some botanicals and nutrients are the subject of ongoing research. Where evidence is mixed or context-dependent, your veterinarian is the best guide.

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.
