The physiological demands of labor, delivery, and lactation place exceptional stress on the maternal body. One of the most critical nutrients required during this time is calcium—essential for proper muscle contractions, nerve transmission, and metabolic stability. The soon launching Bellylabs Calcium+ Paste is a fast-absorbing, highly bioavailable supplement designed to meet the acute calcium needs of dogs during whelping and the postpartum period, helping reduce the risk of complications and support maternal well-being.
Formulated with calcium carbonate, tricalciumcitrate, magnesium citrate, and vitamin D3, this paste delivers rapid and effective nutritional support when timely intervention matters most.
Timely nutritional support can be life-saving—particularly for vulnerable dogs such as weak or fading puppies, dogs in recovery from illness, or senior canines facing temporary energy deficits. The soon to be launched Bellylabs Revive Paste is fast-absorbing energy and nutrient paste designed to address such critical windows with a combination of easily digestible carbohydrates, essential vitamins, colostrum, and probiotics.
This complementary feed provides rapid metabolic support when energy, immune stimulation, and appetite encouragement are urgently needed. Whether stabilizing a newborn puppy or assisting a recovering adult, Revive Paste delivers targeted, science-based support to help dogs regain strength and resilience.
Optimal health in dogs begins at the cellular level. Skin and coat condition, immune function, and metabolic vitality are all influenced by the quality of a dog’s diet—particularly its intake of essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Bellylabs Antioxidant Oil is a scientifically formulated, plant-based dietary supplement designed to support these foundational systems with a precise blend of high-quality oils and micronutrients. The product will be out this Spring!
This product offers a balanced and fish-free source of Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids, alongside potent antioxidant support from vitamins A and E. Developed to promote dermatological health, immune resilience, and general well-being, the oil is suitable for dogs of all breeds and life stages.
At Bellylabs, we understand that a healthy start can shape a dog’s lifelong well-being. Whether you’re a breeder managing the unique nutritional needs of a mother dog and her litter, or an owner caring for dogs of different ages and backgrounds, gut health is a critical part of the equation.
That’s why we’re proud to share a first look at an exciting new addition to the Bellylabs product family—designed to support digestive balance and overall vitality with a science-backed blend of prebiotics, probiotics, and functional ingredients.
Vitamin E is a crucial fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a vital role in maintaining your dog’s health. It protects cell membranes from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, supports the immune system, promotes healthy skin and coat, and even contributes to fertility and reproductive success. Ensuring that your dog gets adequate vitamin E is essential for their overall well-being, especially since deficiencies can lead to muscle weakness, neurological issues, and reproductive challenges.
