UHFD - Liquid Dog Vitamins

 

Thursday, February 17, 2011

 

In the development of our product, a special dog multivitamin with joint support formula was created. With the addition of whole-fruit mangosteen (due to its natural and non-toxic properties as a proven anti-inflammatory & anti-histamine), produced to our standards and specifications, the result is our Liquid Dog Vitamins Formula with Joint Support & Mangosteen.

 

When the product was tested with a small group of dogs, we were excited because they were receptive to the taste and because of previous experience with similar formulas, we knew the results were going to be great. After being on the market for nearly 18 months, tested by breeders, groomers, and handlers, the continuing reports of health-related improvements and unsolicited testimonials speak for themselves.

 

Our formulator has over 25 years experience formulating products and they followed the AAFCO nutrition guidelines as they formulated our product. Our manufacturing partner has been effectively formulating pet products for over a decade. They follow GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) rules and are one of the few pet products manufacturers that is GMP certified. All of their products are cold processed to ensure the maximum efficacy of the ingredients and proper potency at the end of the shelf life of all the products manufactured.

 

GMP rules are much stricter than those of the USDA & FDA. Because GMP rules are followed, each ingredient purchased requires a certificate of analysis. In addition, every ingredient that comes through the door is quarantined and tested. When the ingredient passes the quality tests, it is then released for use. If it does not pass, it is not allowed.

 

The new (Fall 2009) state-of-the-art, FDA registered, manufacturing facility conducts various tests on the ingredients they purchase:

 

*       One test employs the NIR machine (near-infrared or infrared spectrography) which checks for the purity of the ingredient being tested. This machine is also instrumental in letting us know if an ingredient is contaminated or if an ingredient is not up to our standards. By using the NIR machine we also avoid the possible use of an ingredient that has been mislabeled. All ingredients have to be matched within specifications to a library of pure samples residing at the facility. 

 

*       After identification of the ingredient has been verified, it goes through another test to ensure there is no mold or other organism growing on the ingredient. This test takes an average of 5 days per ingredient. Once the tests have been passed our ingredients are stored in a climate controlled area to ensure freshness until it is time to use them. 

 

As the manufacturing process begins all equipment is cleaned and, if necessary, calibrated. The ingredients are mixed and then taken to one of 16 clean rooms (6 for liquid manufacturing and 10 for powder or capsule manufacturing). The air and climate is controlled in these rooms to ensure no contaminants will adhere to the mixture. As the product goes through the bottling line, samples are taken and verified to ensure the product has the right color, consistency, smell and any other factor that can affect the product. Please remember that we use a lot of natural ingredients and although we strive to keep our product very consistent, some times variances do occur from batch to batch. After product completion, samples are kept for future testing. 

 

Unlike many dog products on the market, all of our ingredients are pharmaceutical grade and are used for human consumption. In fact, products for humans are also made in our manufacturing facility.

 

We hope this helps. Please feel free to look at our website under the quality assurance link for more information on the entire GMP process. We stand ready to answer any questions you may have.

Our newest customer success story from November 17, 2011:
"The Vitamins are amazing.  Our 10 year old Lab/Aussie Mix has the spring back in his step, his happy smile is back and is jumping on our bed again to snuggle with us.  Mackey is no longer taking Rimadyl.  YEAH...Thank you so much!!  Our 15 year old Sydney, a Aussie/Collie mix, is in renal kidney failure with secondary infections.  Your vitamins have greatly helped to strengthen her immune system which has lessened the secondary infections.  She had regained her appetite, eating heartily again, and her strength is back.  Her quality of life has improved tremendously and she is only having good days now.  Thank you!!  I have ordered additional vitamins and have given them to my family members to give to their "Best Friends". 

-- Micky in California

"This product works! I have a 13 yr old Golden Retriver,who is moving and acting like a much younger dog. Anyone, with aging or ailing dogs will benefit from this product!"

-- Pat in Washington

"I just wanted to let you know that the replacement bottle of vitamins you sent arrived safely on Monday! Sailor-girl (our 7 ½ year old Portuguese Water Dog) is a happy girl now that her vitamins are back…her energy has increased and she is jumping like a youngster again.I didn’t know that she was having any pain in her hips, but after a week or so with the vitamins she began jumping like she used to – if you’ve ever met a Portie, you know they love to jump with joy. Thanks so much for an excellent product and the BEST customer service I’ve experienced in a long time!"  

-- Lydia in Arkansas

"Our dog's coat is so shiny now, and her skin is not itchy or flakey. She also moves around a lot better since being on your product."

-- Silvia in S. Carolina

Nelly owns a grooming and boarding business called Nelly's Ark. Listen to her great story about a dog she has been grooming for 3 years and what happened after just 4 weeks on our Liquid Dog Vitamins Formula. Length is less than 30 seconds...

  

 "Your product rolled back the clock on my dog by five years. She would only get off her bed about three times a day. She would look so sad when I would head out to the barn to do the horses, because she used to do that all the time with me. Now, she goes down to the barn with me and plays with our 4 year old dog. It is truly amazing and I have become a big advocate of your product in our store, Pet Country, here in Medford, OR."

-- Carol in Oregon

"My 11 & 13 year old girls are getting off their bed easier. AND they're starting to get into trouble again. At their age, it's the least I can do for them. They will get this product for the rest of their lives."

-- Brenda in Washington

"Using this product on my older German Shepherd dog, and have seen a major improvement within a week. Have gone from 2 Rimadyl tablets a day to 1/2 a tablet. I am also using on my 11 month old golden retriever puppy daily and it has helped her with itching problem." 

-- Nancy in Washington
