Our loved 'Betty Boop Zula' is an 'English Doodle' (English Retriever X male Standard Poodle) coming from an Ontario kennel considered as the best in this type of breeding. What makes the difference here is the philosophy of the breeder; she believes in prevention at a very early stage, just after being separated from motherly milk. Since the puppies are half retrievers and half poodles, joints and cartilage issues may eventually occur especially for the poodle part of it. So from that early stage she starts supplying all of her puppies with NuVet Plus and Nujoint Plus for supplement and vitamins. As for nutrition, the same principle applies and then she goes for '4Strong Paws Pet Products' an Ontario based cat & dog food manufacturer equally carrying the same concerns as Nu Vet pertaining to top quality on every scientific aspect of the nutrients. Reading the nomenclature of all ingredients from both companies, not only do they complete each other but they meet in what I can see as a total dedication to pet's well-being. Not many food labs do include in their product pure and genuine ingredients like salmon meal, salmon oil (Omega fatty acids), Flax seed (Omega 3 fatty acids) etc, etc. All in all we are having here a very pure and 'holistic' way of life. Take a little time at reading the list of ingredients from these two good labs and I believe the answer will come by itself. I am not writing this to promote anything, just sharing with you our experience with Betty Boop. Just wish we knew about these products at the time of our past dogs. Betty Boop was 5 months on this picture; she is now a 65 lbs adult, strong, very healthy, a thick wool fur with a very big smile.
