Nutrimere® for Dogs by Standard Process: Benefits, Use & Safety Guide

As a dog parent, you already know that good nutrition matters. Food, movement, and routine care form the foundation of health. But there are times when I want to support the body a little deeper, especially at the cellular level. That is where Nutrimere® by Standard Process can be helpful.

I often explain Nutrimere as a whole food based supplement that supports how a dog’s cells respond to stress, inflammation, and normal wear and tear. It is simple in formulation but powerful in how it works with the body.

Below, I will walk you through what Nutrimere is, what it supports, how it works, and how I typically use it in dogs.

What Is Nutrimere® by Standard Process?

Nutrimere® is a nutritional supplement made by Standard Process, a company that has focused on whole food nutrition since 1929. While Nutrimere was originally developed for humans, it has been used safely by veterinarians for decades in dogs.

This supplement is designed to support:

• Cellular health

• Joint comfort and mobility

• Healthy inflammatory response

• Overall vitality

Nutrimere does not act like a drug. Instead, it provides concentrated nutrients from whole food sources that help the body do what it is already designed to do.

Key Benefits of Nutrimere® for Dogs

Nutrimere is often chosen because it supports multiple systems at once without overstimulating the body.

Cellular Health Support

Healthy cells are the foundation of every organ and tissue. Nutrimere provides nutrients that help support normal cell function and repair, especially during times of physical stress or aging.

Joint and Mobility Support

Nutrimere contains New Zealand green lipped mussel, a natural source of omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids help support joints, connective tissue, and a normal inflammatory response. This can be especially helpful for senior dogs or dogs with stiffness.

Immune System Support

The whole food ingredients in Nutrimere provide antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress, which can affect immune balance over time.

Skin and Coat Support

Omega 3 fatty acids also support skin integrity and coat quality. I often see improvement in coat softness and overall skin comfort when Nutrimere is used consistently.

Each serving size is two capsules.

How These Ingredients Support Dog Health

Green Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus)

This shellfish is naturally rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3s help support joint comfort, mobility, and a balanced inflammatory response. I often recommend it for dogs that move slower than they used to or show mild stiffness.

Organic Carrot

Carrots are a natural source of beta carotene and vitamin A. These nutrients support immune function, eye health, and cellular protection through antioxidant activity.

Organic Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes provide fiber and antioxidants that support digestive health and immune balance. They also contribute nutrients that help protect cells from oxidative damage.

How Nutrimere® Supports Specific Health Concerns

Nutrimere is not a condition specific supplement. Instead, it supports underlying processes that affect many areas of health.

Cellular Stress and Aging

As dogs age, their cells become less efficient at repair. Nutrimere provides nutrients that help support normal cellular response and resilience.

Joint Stiffness and Mobility Changes

Omega 3 fatty acids from green lipped mussel help support joints and connective tissue. This can be helpful for active dogs, senior dogs, or dogs recovering from physical strain.

Immune Balance

Antioxidants help protect immune cells from oxidative stress. This supports normal immune function without overstimulation.

Dosage and How I Typically Use Nutrimere

Always check with your veterinarian before starting any supplement, especially if your dog has medical conditions.

General Dosage Guidelines

How to Give Nutrimere

• Capsules can be given whole or opened and mixed with food.

• For picky dogs, sprinkling the contents onto moist food usually works well.

• Consistency matters more than timing. Daily use provides the best support.

Safety, Side Effects, and Precautions

Nutrimere is generally well tolerated when used as directed.

Possible Side Effects

Some dogs may experience mild digestive upset, such as loose stool, especially when first starting. This usually resolves with dose adjustment.

Because Nutrimere contains shellfish, it should not be used in dogs with known shellfish allergies.

Precautions

• Start with the recommended dose.

• Consult your veterinarian if your dog is pregnant, nursing, or managing chronic illness.

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

My Take on Nutrimere® for Dogs

I like Nutrimere because it supports the body at a foundational level. It does not override normal physiology. Instead, it nourishes it. When combined with good food, movement, and appropriate veterinary care, Nutrimere can be a valuable part of a long term wellness plan.
