Nutrition for your Miniature Schnauzer
General Health & Nutrition as Applied to the Miniature Schnauzer

Since the metabolism rate differs from breed to breed, applying the most needed nutrients in a well balanced formula will be tantamount in retaining or developing the best of health for each breed. For example a Pomeranian needs a much higher protein level than a Miniature Schnauzer. There have been (not confirmed or experienced) reports of some weakness of Miniature Schnauzers where high protein levels exist. The same analogy exist in pancreases problems due to high fat. We have had in ten years of breeding, no adverse problems with pancreas or liver issues. Many adult Miniature Schnauzers need a maximum of 22% protein with a fat content of no more than 14%. Obviously all non-shedding canines need larger amounts of omegas 3 and 6 in their diet. A lamb formula (meat first of course) will provide more essential oils and vitamins then a chicken protein formula.

NuVet states that with all its antioxidants and other herbs and nutrients NuVet Plus will strengthen the immune system and can actually add years to your best friend's life. We love animals and we know you love them too! Unfortunately, the majority of dogs and cats are not receiving a complete, healthy diet and many become ill and die prematurely. NuVet Labs scientists, veterinarians and formulators began with the premise that most pet diets are lacking the proper amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
