While many people invest a significant amount of money into high-quality pet food, these expensive foods still may not meet all of their pet’s nutritional needs. Most commercial pet foods are heat processed. Heat is the main enemy of nutrients. Nutrient rich ingredients thrive and are more easily digestible when they are cold processed. Luckily, there are pet supplements available. Pet supplements are designed to provide additional vitamins and nutrients that may not be found in typical pet food products. Adding a supplement to your pet’s daily diet helps ensure they receive the proper amounts of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and protein. Receiving a proper amount of nutrients daily supports the best possible health. One of the nutrients your furry friend may be missing from their daily diet is oyster shell.

However, not all supplements are the same. There are a few things to look at when choosing a pet supplement. For example, what are your pets needs? What ingredients are included in the supplement? Are the ingredients high quality? Where and how is the supplement manufactured?

For instance, NuVet Labs creates all of their supplements with the highest-quality natural ingredients. The supplements themselves are manufactured in the United States, in an FDA-approved facility. NuVet supplements are cold processed to increase the bioavailability of each nutrient. One of the unique ingredients found in NuVet Plus is oyster shell, which provides numerous health benefits to our canine and feline companions.

What are the Benefits of Oyster Shell?

The numerous benefits of oyster shell are listed below:

• Oyster shell is rich in calcium, which is essential for proper growth and development. The ideal ratio of calcium and phosphorus promotes structural integrity of the bones and teeth.

• Calcium is also vital for cardiovascular health, aiding in a consistent regular heart beat rhythm.

• Phosphorus, found in oyster shell, acts as a pH buffer in the body. This enhances protein and enzyme function.

• Phosphorus and calcium also help keep the nervous system in check and are essential for blood clotting, proper cell growth and kidney function.

Oyster Shell in Pet Supplements

Oyster Shell is an important ingredient in a pet supplement because it helps maintain the proper levels of calcium, and ensures that the bone structure can properly absorb calcium in the body. Ultimately, this supports proper growth for the dog or cat. Phosphorus and calcium are necessary for a strong, healthy bone structure. A strong and healthy bone structure promotes running, playing, and improves quality of life.

Pet owners should discuss their pet’s individual needs with a veterinarian in order to determine if a pet supplement product with oyster shell is the right choice for their pet. NuVet Labs spent more than 8 years to develop this one-of-a-kind formula, which is designed to promote total body health for the pet. Oyster shell, and the twenty plus ingredients in NuVet Plus, work simultaneously to enhance cell, gland and organ function. Adding a nutrient rich supplement, like NuVet Plus, to your pet’s daily diet ensures that they receive the necessary vitamins and minerals to help obtain optimal health and improve quality of life.
