Nupro All Natural Dog Supplement

Nutri-Pet Research, Inc., first donated 30 ounces of Nupro All Natural Dog Supplement in March, 1997 for us to try on the dogs in training. We were immediately impressed with the quick effect it had on their coats and overall appearance. We contacted them requesting more and they are now donating a 20-pound tub of the supplement every three months. They have also offered to sell the product to our recipients at a special "rescue" price.

We are now using Nupro All Natural Supplement as a regular diet supplement for all the dogs in training. Dogs that come in thin and with no appetite are readily eating their food with the Nupro All Natural Dog Supplement added to their food. Dogs with dull, thin coats or with actual hair loss now have full beautiful coats.

For example - One of our Hearing Dogs was returned to us in May, 1998, after months of working with his teammate to try to get behavioral problems under control, put weight back on him, and improve his coat. The vet and recipient had tried many things, but nothing seemed to work. When he came back to DFD, he weighed 16.4 pounds, had thin hair all over and hair loss around his neck. After a couple of months on the supplement, he weighed 23 pounds and his coat was thick and full. There have been no unusual behavior problems, and he has been placed again. We attribute his recovery at least in part to this terrific product.

Nupro: Here's One Supplement That Works!

Nupro is an all-natural dog supplement from Nutri-Pet Research, Inc. in Farmingdale, NJ. It's touted as being a "scientifically balanced formula that is high in protein, vitamins, minerals and digestive enzymes, specially designed to condition your dog into First Class Health."

It is said to promote hair growth; control itchy, dry, flaky skin; repel fleas and ticks; build energy and blood; steady nerves for better disposition and alertness; help with fertility in females and potency in males; help arthritic conditions; combat allergies; improve appetite; burn fat; aid digestion and help relieve gas. Nupro is also said to be excellent for dogs of all ages and is recommended by veterinarians. Sounds like a miracle product - kind of like Snake Oil. (Maybe we humans should add it to our diet!)

But let me tell you, we tested Nupro at Good Dog!, and we can confirm at least some of the claims.

Does it improve appetite? Yes! We have a test dog by the name of Katie. During the test, Katie wouldn't touch her food if it didn't have Nupro mixed in! She became "addicted" to it and would wait for someone to put it into her food before eating a single morsel. Otherwise she would leave the food most of the day, until she had lost hope of the Nupro making its appearance. Katie, being slightly portly, is definitely not one to skip meals.

Chief Test Dog, Chops, also loved the flavor of Nupro, but quickly realized she had to eat to survive. So, while she wasn't happy about the part of the test where we didn't use Nupro, she would still eat.

It's two weeks after the Nupro test, and Katie still doesn't wade right in to her food. She's still hoping someone will take pity on her and get the Nupro! (And, not to worry, we certainly wouldn't let her starve!)

Is Nupro a "fat burner?" We didn't detect any change in Katie's weight or figure when she was on Nupro.

Does it control itchy, dry, flaky skin? Yes. Our test showed that any flakiness due to central heating . . . disappeared. Does it repel fleas and ticks? Our test was conducted too early in the season to tell.

How about whether it "builds energy and blood; steady nerves for better disposition and alertness; help with fertility in females and potency in males; help arthritic conditions?" We couldn't think of a way to quantify those claims and test for them.

On the other hand, the claim that Nupro combats allergies appears to be true. When we began our test, our dogs were itchy. It was the beginning of spring and they showed signs of allergies to pollen. When we gave them Nupro with their meal (a high-quality food), the dogs stopped itching within a few days. It was quite remarkable.

The maker of Nupro says the product aids digestion and helps relieve gas. Our test dogs were having some gas problems before they were started on Nupro. The gas disappeared when the supplement was used, and reappeared when the dogs were taken off it.

Nupro is a powder that's mixed with a bit of water to form a gravy that is then mixed in with the food, daily. Or, you can just sprinkle it on. The canister gives instructions via a quantity-by-weight chart.

To tell the truth, it really doesn't mix very well - sort of like a thick paste that globs together at the bottom. But that doesn't seem to matter to the dogs. Not as long as it's somewhere in the bowl of food! And the smell is kind of like a cow hoof chew or liver - slightly less-than-pleasant to the human nose. But, again, the dogs love it.

Nupro provides a whole range of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and essential fatty acids.

Normally we don't recommend supplements. Depending on the product, they can mess up the carefully balanced nutrition of a dog food. But a good supplement, formulated by a nutritionist (as Nupro was), can be worth its weight in gold if your dog needs something more in his diet.

Whether it's due to a long-term health problem, allergies, or stress, if you think your dog might need a supplement, try Nupro. It's one supplement we can highly recommend. Our test dogs had beautiful, shiny coats. And, at the start of allergy season, there was no itching. Maybe it is a miracle powder!

Testimonials on Nupro Supplements

Hi Janis,

As we discussed, I've written up my experience with Nupro with my (now) ten year old Labrador that has hip dysplasia in both hips. She has a relatively severe case, based on x-rays that were done when she was almost one year of age.

Sydney was rescued by a breeder (not her own breeder) when she was eight months old. I had just had to have another Lab put to sleep because of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and my remaining Lab was in mourning, as was I. When I met Sydney, she was asymptomatic of any hip problems. She was a typical happy-go-lucky, tail-wagging girl! I am forever impressed by the sheer joy of living that Labs display. My veterinarian felt around her hips and mentioned that he thought an x-ray might be in order. Because I had just lost one dog, he was concerned about the potential health problems that this new dog might have. The bad news was that Sydney had canine hip dysplasia in both hips. We talked about what this might mean down the road. I was not in a position to afford the hugely expensive surgery, and at that time, there were no local vets that had the orthopedic know-how to do the surgery. (Dogs were sent downstate for the surgery - this involved two separate surgeries, one hip at a time.) So, the vet explained what I might anticipate: arthritis, lameness, spinal problems poor muscle development in the hind quarters, etc. I have always kept Sydney very trim as to not stress her hips further. She did very well and continued (surprisingly to all) to be asymptomatic until she was six years old. She had periods of lameness which seemed to self-correct. She began having difficulty lifting her head up and tended to always carry it in a lowered position. I began to notice that her upper body (chest) became very developed from carrying the brunt of her body weight, and she became somewhat pigeon-toed in her front feet as a result. Still, dogs being the stoic beings that they are, she carried on. Then one day, she would not attempt to go up the stairs. This was disturbing. While she wanted to be with me, she could not take the stairs. She made a few attempts over several days, but then yelped in pain. We went to the vet, and the vet said that the head position, the pain, etc., were all byproducts of the hip dysplasia - she now had a raging case of arthritis. She prescribed Cosequin DS and Rimadyl. I had some real concerns about the Rimadyl as we have all heard stories about the side effects on a dog's liver and life. This is when I began to really search for alternatives to help Sydney. I belong to a Vetmed list online, and I posted Sydney's situation. I received a variety of responses ranging from "The damage is done" to some interesting alternatives to help Sydney. Most of all, I did not want to see her in pain. This is when someone mentioned Nupro to me. I went to the Nupro web site, and read about the product. At that time, the Joint Support formula was not yet available. So, I ordered five pounds of Nupro for Sydney. In my research, while trying to find a solution for Sydney, I read over and over that it is important to get big, active dogs on glucosamine while they are pups. I decided that my other Lab would also be getting the Nupro, based on the terrific ingredients. I did not anticipate the incredible LOVE my dogs would have for Nupro! They lick their bowls totally clean and then some! (They get their Nupro in the a.m. feeding, and when I pull down the Nupro container, they all start to do the tap dance of Joy!)

After one month, Sydney had her first blood work to be sure the Rimadyl was not having a negative impact on her liver, and all was well. With the Rimadyl, she was able to take stairs again, but very slowly. I noticed something else at this point , too. Sydney has always had seasonal allergies and would shed and itch and lick like crazy from May to November. I noticed that the licking had decreased a good deal (but hadn't figured out the Nupro link yet). Then, several people commented on how wonderful and shiny her coat was - then the light came on. I suppose because I see her every day, I did not see the subtle changes in her coat and appearance. But, there she was, not shedding like crazy, shiny and her coat no longer had that oily quality I had earlier observed. I decided to wean her slowly off the Rimadyl at this point. By the time two months had passed, Sydney was totally off of Rimadyl. She has never taken it again. . I started Sydney on the Nupro Joint Support as soon as it became available - and the difference has been significant. I also weaned her off of the CosequinDS. The response is very noticeable, more so than anything I witnessed with the (very expensive) CosequinDS. The big difference is that Sydney now 'moves' again!

Today, I am happy to report that Sydney is a very healthy ten years old! She just had a dental cleaning and total blood work up, and the vet said she is the picture of health. No more lameness, no more yelping, and she bounds up and down the stairs. She stopped playing with toys when the pain started years back, but in the past year or so, she has enjoyed stealing the ball from the other dogs and taking off She RUNS again. I have not seen her really take off in a run in years. It actually scares me to see her whizzing by; I'm afraid she'll hurt herself. But, as a friend reminded me, she is obviously not in pain if she chooses to run around. And, most important, she is having fun.

All of my Labs now eat Nupro Joint Support (no bad hips with the others, but the benefits of this product are too good to pass up). I work with Lab Rescue, and we have put many of our new arrivals on Nupro. Emaciated dogs, dogs with skin conditions and dogs with orthopedic problems have all benefited from Nupro. Some of the foster homes even decided to put their own dogs on Nupro when they have seen the improvement in their foster rescue dogs. (All a dog needs to do is get a whiff of this stuff, and they insist on having some!) Another friend of mine has a schnauzer that had horrendous digestive problems, gas and bloating. The vet finally got desperate and recommended that the dog's gallbladder be removed, and this surgery was done. The dog showed no improvement and continued to suffer. My friend took my advice and began her schnauzer on Nupro. That was four years ago. The schnauzer is now a hale fifteen years old and shows no signs of digestive upsets, gas or bloating. However, my friend mentioned that when she was out of Nupro and her dog was not eating it for two weeks, the symptoms began to return. We have no doubt that removing corn, soy and wheat from her diet and adding Nupro was the key.

In my house, we LOVE NUPRO! I have told many people about Nupro, and one common thread is this: once a pet owner begins to use it....they do not stop. The enthusiasm a dog displays when being fed Nupro tells the whole story! Dogs that would not eat or were very picky, attack their food when Nupro is in it. To me, it is some sort of magic. I do not totally understand how it works, but I know that it DOES work. I would never have a pet without feeding it Nupro. The benefits are huge.

Thanks for the incredible product. Because of Nupro and the changes I have seen in all of my dogs, I have learned a good deal about nutrition.

Anyone who loves their dog will love Nupro. For me, I am grateful to you folks. Because of Nupro, I have a ten year old Lab that no one thought would be ambulatory beyond seven years of age. Who would have thought that she would be running and playing and pain-free at ten? I don't believe we can ask more than that!!!

Dear Bruce Homer,

In December of 1997 I was visiting my sister-in-law Rita in Vista California. When I arrived I couldn't believe my eyes, her 18 year old Cocker Spaniel was still alive. I Not only was she still here, she looked so much better than she had in the past. Rita explained that she had heard about a wonderful product, Nupro, from her dog groomer that could help her dogs coat and skin. She put Cinnamon on it and with in three weeks she started to see improvement. I immediately asked where she had purchased Nupro and the next day went to get some for our dog.

Our dog Shadow is a Blue Merle Sheltie and has had reoccurring problems with his skin and hair. Over the past ten years he has had hot spots, dry itchy scalp, and numerous infections that have cost us hundreds of dollars. His last infection left him almost hairless from the middle of his back to his tail. Our veterinarian put him on steroid drugs that caused other side affects. I have always felt that there must be a better way. So when Rita told me of her success story, and I read the can and saw all the wonderful ingredients I figured what did I have to loose by giving Nupro a chance.

It has now been three months since Shadow has been on Nupro. Not only did all of his hair grow back but he is much more alert and has more energy and also seems to love the taste of Nupro. After I noticed a great improvement I cut back on the dosage as instructed on the can. About two weeks ago I noticed a small hot spot starting on his back, so I increased the dosage again and like a miracle the spot went away.

I want to thank Nupro for making Shadow so much happier and for making our lives so much easier. No matter what dog I have in the future I will always use Nupro.!!

Thanks Again,
Barbara

Dear Janis:

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with you on the phone today. I would like to let you know a little bit about my experience with Nupro. I have a 13 year old Miniature Schnauzer, Schnoppie, that I have had her entire life (my first child). About 3 years ago she was stricken with terrible arthritis, with horrible shakes, with periods of time that she couldn't move and I knew she was very uncomfortable. My husband and I had to have that serious discussion about her quality of life. After the tears and the realization we started looking and hoping for an alternative. We were introduced to Nupro through a breeder that we purchased a Giant Schnauzer from. Part of the agreement in purchasing this dog was to keep him on the Nupro. We started Schnoppie on your product following the instructions on the dosage. Within a month her shaking had subsided, she was a lot more lively, her arthritis seemed to be much better. This was everything we had hoped for but, we received more with the Nupro product. Schnoppie had a new layer of thick soft hair growing, her skin had always been itchy and dry, not anymore, and her beautiful little eyes that had been so cloudy and sad were suddenly alert, clear and happy.

Schnoppie is still an older dog that needs special attention (mostly love). However, I knew she is a much happier dog by the way she looks and her excitement for life. Grady, our three year old Giant Schnauzer, has been on your product all of his life. He is the most healthy, shiny, fit animal you will ever see. We love our animals and want you to know how much we appreciate your product that keeps them at their best. Let us know when you invent a formula for humans! A very happy customer

Dear Nutri-Pet,

Thank you for the last order of Nupro. I hope my puppy buyers will be as happy with the product as I have been. My blue merle smooth Collie, Ch. Natural Showgirl, CGC TDI TT VC, has been on Nupro for over a year now. Because of your product, I am going to be able to show her at our National Specialty this year. You see, she has been plagued in the past with hot spots and staph infections while "blowing coat". Since using Nupro this has stopped!! She started to shed about a month ago and I wasn't going to enter her at the National, but I started to notice that she wasn't loosing a lot of hair! So I went ahead and entered her. I am amazed at her condition. I want to thank you for making a great product! I hope I have as much luck in the "specials" ring as I have had with using Nupro.

Thanks,
Christine

Dear Janice:

Your name was given to me by Donna at Nischwitz & Co. in South Plainfield, NJ.

I wanted to let you know how great my husband and I feel your product NUPRO is. I have been giving it to my German Shepherd dog for about 3 months and the difference in her coat is incredible. Her fur actually shines!

In addition, she used to shed terribly and the vacuum cleaner had a major task in trying to pick up her fur. We often would find a bunch of fur on the carpeting and around the kitchen table. Now, she is no longer shedding and this alone makes NUPRO a real asset to me.

I am so very glad that Donna recommended NUPRO to us and I thought you would like to know how great we feel your product is.

Sincerely,
Lorayne

Dear Cathy,

I want to thank you personally for sending me NUPRO all natural nutritional supplement for my dogs. I would like others to be aware that this stuff really works! Following are three testimonials on how NUPRO has directly improved my dogs' health and condition.

The first time I heard of NUPRO was from a Labrador owner and breeder. I told her about my 6 month old Doberman who had alternating limping due to the veterinarian diagnosis of "growing pains". The suggested treatment was quiet rest and aspirin. Being a non-conventional person I was opposed to aspirin. I was also afraid of calcium supplementation due to his breed and growth rate on an already high quality food with calcium added. This person suggested NUPRO. Not only was my poor baby limping all the time, but even worse was that he was not interested in eating. I added chicken drippings, yogurt and whatever else I could to encourage him to eat. All was to no avail. I bought some NUPRO and put it in his food. Not only did he gulp down his food, but after 2 weeks he stopped limping completely and has had no recurrence of the "growing pains".

My other experience was with my Labrador female. She is a chocolate and has some pink pigmentation around her eyes and nose (this is undesirable in a chocolate). I started her on NUPRO and within three weeks not only was her pigmentation darker, but even her coat was much darker.

The last testimonial I have to offer is probably the most dramatic. In October of 1995 a Labrador breeder and I purchased a 2 year old black lab male. When we got him he had "hot spots" around his neck, on his hindquarters and an area the size of a dinner plate on his back near the tail. He was immediately put on NUPRO and within 3 weeks all the spots were cleared up. Most amazingly was that within 6 weeks the hair had grown in and you could not tell he had ever had "hot spots"!

I have recommended NUPRO to many people and am completely sold on the products benefits. I am generally highly skeptical about such claims, but I am glad I took a chance on NUPRO. Thanks Cathy for bringing this product to Florida.

Sincerely,
Christina

Dear Nutri-Pet Research, inc.:

This letter is in regard to your Dog and Cat Supplement: Nupro.

I wanted to let you know that you have developed a superior pet supplement. I have used other brands in the past and none have compared with the results from using Nupro. I currently feed four dogs and three are different breeds, two Australian Shepherds, one Rottweiler and one Boston Terrier. Quite the combination, I agree. The Rottie was diagnosed at nine months with hypothyroidism and I~ deficient. In other words, she had no "first line of defense" immune system. I have fought to keep her in condition with the best natural-processed diet and supplements. In September of 1997, we moved to eastern Washington and I found your supplement through a mail-order catalog. Previously I used the Solid Gold seameal and flaxseed oil, but these items were hard to obtain over here. The girl at J B Wholesale recommended Nupro when the Solid Gold products were back-ordered 6-8 weeks. She uses the product to supplement her Australian Shepherd, so I thought I would give it a try. When I received the five-pound jar, I was impressed with the ingredients and all the enzymes. I started feeding Nupro to all my dogs and the Rottie, who had lost the hair on her muzzle and started thinning on her feet, GREW THE HAIR BACK ON HER MUZZLE in less than a month!! !!! I was Impressed!!!!!! I had just purchased the Boston puppy and he had terribly dry skin. He was raised on a premium diet, Eukanuba, but still looked lacking in condition. Well, after just three weeks on your terrific product his coat is gorgeous!!!!!! No more dry flaky skin!!! Thank you again for developing such a great supplement! !! My dogs say a big THANK YOU too.

Sincerely,
Judi
