I am truly excited to be part of this special journey with you. These Golden Beginning Bundles are just the first step in what I hope will be a joyful, lifelong bond with your new family member.
NuVet Plus Supplements
Since 2018, I’ve devoted myself to breeding Golden Retrievers. In that time, I’ve made it my mission to understand their unique physiology, behaviors, instincts, and most importantly, their health.
There are two key parts to keeping a Golden Retriever healthy. The first is genetics. As your breeder, I’ve carefully selected and screened each parent dog to ensure they are free of hereditary issues. Your puppy comes with a health guarantee against genetic defects, which reflects my confidence in their strong genetic foundation.
The second part is environmental—and this is where things can be a little unpredictable. Life outside my home brings new experiences that, while exciting, can also cause stress. Traveling in the car, settling into a new home, and adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings can all put a strain on your puppy’s developing immune system.
Even if you are doing everything right—choosing organic products, maintaining a safe yard, and cleaning regularly—there are still outside influences we cannot fully control. Neighbors may spray pesticides or herbicides that can drift. Puppies, being curious and playful, will inevitably explore surfaces, toys, or outdoor spaces that could be exposed to environmental irritants or allergens.
I do not share these things to worry you, but to be honest about the reality of raising a healthy puppy. This is why I strongly recommend NuVet Plus supplements to all my puppy families. I give them to my own dogs every day, and they are a core part of how I support the long-term wellness of both the parents and the puppies in my care.
Wishing you and your puppy a lifetime of good health,
