“Beautiful coats”

Rosharon S.

I have six girls. Since using the nutrition supplement, the food is gobbled up. There was no "learning curve" to eat the food. There are fewer instances of vomiting. Their coats have a beautiful feel and sheen. The only thing I don't like is the huge packaging for the small amount in the jars.

Top Critical Review

“Late shipment and dishonest.”

Poor customer consideration/communication. Our most recent AUTO ship order is over 10 days late. I called and was told the product wasn't available. Customer Rep didn't know when they could ship (even though I already paid on my Credit card. I cancelled and will never do business with UPN again. Shame on Dr. Gary!

I started my 9 dogs on NutriThrive because the value of food in assuring health is something i have studied for years. My dogs range in age from 3 to 10, and from small (10 pounds) to giant (125 pounds). Because i could not afford high end premium dog food but wanted to assure my dogs got the nutrients necessary for them to thrive, i selected NutriThrive. All are in great health, with georgeous coats, bright eyes and wagging tails. Just as I supplement my diet daily with vital nutrients, i supplement theirs, and the sucess of this formula is undeniable.

This nutritional supplement is amazing. My 13 year old female Boxer is thriving mentally & physically. Although she has some hind leg nerve damage she follows along on trail rides with my horse, she has incredible stamina, and is absolutely loving living a very active lifestyle. Many people can tell by the amount of Grey in her mask that she's a senior dog. They're amazed to learn her age as they watch her follow behind my horse.
We had a lapse in providing my dog with Nutra Thrive, the decline was remarkable. Only proved that Nutra Thrive nutritional supplement is the real deal.
Highly recommend to extend a dog's active lifestyle.

First of all Dr. Richter gives you a PARTIAL refund plus the postage to return the "product" is almost as much as the cost that the BUYER has to pay. This food needs attention to mix with warm water and have a meat-like consistency. It's no problem to go through the process but the results gives it an artificial quality and, in addition, puts a mushy substance in your pets mouth. Teeth cleaning is an additional must.
But the big problem is it's not the best taste for most dogs. Especially picky eaters.
My dog has no problem eating the crunching hard Iams, Science Diet and other proven probiotic foods. These are better for the teeth and a lot less expensive.
The mush is overly expensive, overly rated and unfairly promised.
Dr. Richter is making a fortune just off of returns.

Tip for consumers:
Dog food is a rip-off

Last year my 7 lb. Yorkie, Maggie, went down to 5 lbs. under the care of a negligent vet who kept repeating the same stupid blood tests, maxing out my credit card and wanted to do yet another blood test...and I said "NO!" He asked me if I didn't love my little dog anymore and I about exploded. I told him he was nuts to ask me such a stupid question. And then I started cruising the internet to find alternate food for Maggie. And that's how I found Ultimate Pet Nutrition and decided to try it. I did find out my little girl is a "white meat" girl and her favorites are Pork Complete and Chicken Complete. And I sprinkle Thrive on top of her three tiny meals per day and she is a different dog now. Frisky, Playful and Loving life. Sometimes she isn't hungry but I'm not worried as that happens to humans too. We take lots of walks and her poops are back to normal. Thank, Dr. Richter for Thrive!

It seems like this product is a $100 vitamin that doesn't do anything. I've been giving it to my dog for a few weeks now and haven't noticed a bit of difference in poop, coat or behavior. Same old same old Panda.

My three small pups are more active and playful. They love the taste it adds to their food. They lick their bowls clean. I'm very happy with the results.

So, just like the title says, my cat was super jumpy at every noise and I *knew* it wasn't a good sign, but I didn't have the ability to feed him a raw diet. It stopped after 2 days (even just from the small pinches to start) of Nutra Thrive. Hasn't been back since.

I saw within the last month or two that my roommate's cat was showing the same issues (he developed a fear around doorframes out of nowhere and was so jumpy around them. Roommates just laughed and didn't take it seriously). So I gave them my other container of it, and his skittishness stopped super quick, too.

Really happy with and grateful for the results.

I trusted this product because someone in the Holistic Actions/Pet Summits network promoted it in their email. They helped me heal my cat's chronic cough over a year ago just by switching him to all wet food, so I'm grateful that Ultimate Pet Nutrition is another go-to in my animal-health resource list.

Amazing product, horrible price! Can't afford Nutra Thrive for dogs. I have four dogs, used the portion provided measuring scoop. One serving per day per dog equals one jar a week. Best price offered on your website and talking to your customer service per jar is $42.45. X's 52 weeks = $2207.74 a year. Are you kidding me?! Capitalism and the right to profit? Yes! Over pricing leads to loss of customer retention and "Ultimate" dissatisfaction. Disappointed to be priced out of the market.

My dog loves the taste, he finishes his food pretty quickly compared to before. His limp has disappeared, he seems more energetic and overall happy. My concern is that he has been throwing up a couple of times his food. Also I was really hopeful for his breath to get better like described but up till now it's still pretty stinky. But overall I believe it is a good product, kind and caring personal and it's worth a try!

I am a lifelong animal lover, dogs being my favorite. There was a dog in my family when I was born, and I haven't been without one (or two or three) ever since. The three I have now are all extremely different and benefit from Nutra Thrive in different ways. My three and two third year old English Pointer is given the nutrients to match her boundless energy. My nearly three year old mixed breed has a very shiny coat and good energy and digestion. And my six and a quarter year old mixed breed (fondly referred to as "the funny looking dog" having the coat of an Australian Cattle Dog with the coloring of a Sheltie, the body of a Bloodhound with the face and legs of a Dachshund, and to top it all off one blue and one brown eye like a Husky - all of which were confirmed to be in her from the Embark DNA test) has greatly benefitted from helping her to have perfect bowel movements with no constipation. Even though I try to provide a nutritional diet for them as best as I know how (and without breaking the bank), it gives me the peace of mind to know that Nutra Thrive provides all the essential nutrients that may possibly be lacking in their dogfood. I've changed the phrase "the proof is in the pudding" to "the proof is in the puppies".

We ordered 3 tubs of Nutra-Thrive for our 12 year old mixed blood hound mix to help with her bad breath. We brush her teeth daily but she still has this fishy smell in her mouth. She just started on her 2nd tub but the smell is still there although it's a bit less strong than before. Otherwise, she's healthy - great silky coat and energetic. If there's no further improvement, we will be discontinuing the product.

I'm using this product for my 12 year old Chihuahua and he's 3lbs. He's has a heart condition that he takes 3 meds 3x a day. All he did was sleep and he has joint pain, I have noticed he jumps a bit more in the morning for his breakfast with a bit more movement for him which is great. So far I'm happy to see him move more yes I'd recommend it for older dogs. I'll keep you posted and I see more results. Also my younger chihuahua had it as well he's a year old. Michelle

I tried many different kinds of food for my Sophie. She was always getting sick. Once I learned more about how toxic many dog foods are I started trying fresh made foods but was not real convenient. Your food is great and I love that one it's hydrated it stays fresh in the fridge 3-5 days. Sophie seems to be doing great with her new food

... After the first month the product is showing very good results! The main thing I have noticed is a change in personality! One animal that has responded the best is a 7 year old Border Collie. She is very playful now, which she was not before! They have gained weight but I changed their entire diet so cannot speak honestly. Would love to try the Food but it is way out of my Zip Code.

I rated this product good because I yet to see the full affects of this product ie, health benefits. She did however stopped biting herself raw. She still scratches but not as often and I'm sure it is the pollen in the air here in San Diego CA where there is always something blooming. She loves the taste. I do have a question. LC is 22 lbs and I feed her twice a day. The jar says one scoop in her food. Is that one scoop per day or each time I feed her. I've been doing one scoop per day. Thank you and your feedback is needed

Our mixed breed miniature schnauzer and Scottish terrier rescue Sadie is prone to pancreatitis so we have to be very careful what she eats. She is approx 11 years old, blind and
Has hearing loss.

When we started her on Nutra Thrive we noticed her coat was shinier and she was more energetic! We can definitely tell the difference it has made to her health.

Once we boarded her at the vet and did not take the Nutra Thrive and by the time we got back she was significantly less energetic.

It's a part of her daily routine and always will be!

My dog loves this food! I use it as a topper. His bowl is clean after his meal. My cat who is a "selective" eater even likes it. I figure it's freeze dried meat, so why not give him few pieces if he likes it? My dog looks and feels healthy. You can just see it in his eyes, appearance and energy.

Maddie, our 14 yo border collie mix has been taking NutraThrive for a few years. Aside from loving it mixed with her evening Wellness Core RawRev kibble, her hooded vulva irritation disappeared almost immediately. This irritation would need to be swabbed and dressed with topical meds quite often. Our feeling is that overall, her health and well-being has improved. It's all a little hard to attribute her improvement directly to one source, but she deserves the best possible health for all of the wonderful years that she gave us.

My toy Fox Terrier will be 15 next month. I've been giving him Ultimate Pet Nutrition daily in his food for over 3 years now, and he is not only completely healthy, he still acts like a puppy--doing zoomies, playing fetch, taking long walks outdoors, jumping up and down from high furniture, etc. Ultimate Pet Nutrition is a keeper! By the way, since my dog weighs only 7.5 pounds, I give him a third of a scoop, since one scoop will cover up to a 25-lb. Dog.

Tip for consumers:
Great supplement for dogs!

Cat used to throw up most every night and since we started her on the product she might throw up once in 2 weeks like the product very much and she likes it too. WE mix it with her food and she eats it every time, I think the product is good and it does what we bought it for, her throwing up.
