NUTRITIONAL HEALTH
Your puppy and it's mother have been on a very important Supplement called NuVet Plus. Your puppy in the womb
has had the advantage of developing strong bones and a healthy immune system. At birth, the puppies still receive NuVet through
the mother's milk until they are old enough to start eating and we add to their food until they are able to eat hard food
and will gobble up NuVet as a fantastic treat! We HIGHLY recommend this supplement for ALL of our Rhodesian Ridgebacks. We
have tried and tested it. We have had fabulous results in the growth of our puppies and adults as well as their health and
development. Due to variations and quality of foods available, and that there is not a vaccine available for EVERY canine
illness, we require and recommend that your puppy be on NuVet supplement, which is only available through breeders like Lionaround.
Your dog must be on this supplement for your health guarantee to be honored by us. This supplement is important for immune
system, bone and cartilage development. This Nutritional Supplement is available only through breeder recommendation. You
will be instructed concerning this when you take possession of your puppy. You will receive a 3 day sample pack of NuVet Plus
in your puppy package. You are expected and required to maintain your puppy on NuVet Plus. You will want to have this supplement
on hand before you arrive to pick up your puppy so there is no break in the puppy's feeding/supplement routine. The order
line phone number is: 1-800-474-7044. Your order code is #82820. The order line hours are 8am-6pm Pacific time. You may either
order a month's supply, a three month supply or a year supply. You'll save money on the "auto-order program:
