NuVet vitamins seems to have some kind of financial deal with some breeders, so that the breeders advertise them on their websites, some of the said breeders actually *require* their puppy buyers to give their new puppies NuVet. I suspect the breeders involved get a kick back from NuVet. Other than that I don't know anything about their product.
I have given vitamins occasionally, not NuVet tho, but for the most part I don't supplement and I've never seen any difference any my dogs from when they did get vitamins or they didn't.
IMO if you're feeding a complete and balanced diet, whether it's kibble, homecooked, or raw, the dogs shouldn't need a lot of supplements added. For humans it's better to get the necessary vitamins from their food rather than take them in pill form, so I would think that would be better for dogs too.
For years on and off I cooked for my Italian Greyhounds because they had liver problems that required a special diet. Once I added a vitamin I got from the vet for one of them, but for the most part I didn't add anything to what I cooked for them, and they seemed to do fine.
