Meet Hector, the furry inspiration and guiding light behind NutriFlex – a brand dedicated to giving pets longer, healthier lives. Hector, our remarkable mini schnauzer, enjoyed almost 18 orbits around the sun and left an indelible mark on our journey.
My journey began in 2004 when I moved to South Africa with my beloved Giant Schnauzer, Riley and 36 koi fish. Tragically, Riley passed away just weeks later due to a severe reaction to mandatory immigration vaccinations. Heartbroken, I found solace in Hector, a feisty pup who managed to get himself dismissed from puppy school for being untrainable.
Determined to give Hector the best possible life, I turned to nutrition as the key to longevity. Despite early signs of joint issues, he thrived—running on the beach, chasing waves, and defying the odds. But at 12 years old, when he struggled to stand, I was told it was time to say goodbye. Refusing to accept that fate, I sought a second opinion. That decision, combined with our collagen-based joint supplement, changed everything—within days, Hector was back on his feet, pain-free and full of life.
That lightbulb moment sparked the creation of NutriFlex—a science-backed range of pet supplements expertly formulated by veterinarians and animal nutritionists to support optimal health, vitality and longevity. Thanks to this breakthrough, Hector thrived for six more incredible years, nearly reaching his 18th orbit around the sun. Even as his hearing faded, our daily beach walks remained a cherished ritual until the very end.
Today, we are immensely proud to introduce NutriFlex to the world—South Africa's first certified human-grade pet supplement range built on Hector’s legacy.
His journey inspired science-backed solutions to help pets live longer, healthier lives, ensuring every cherished companion receives the best possible care. Trusted by veterinarians and crafted under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, NutriFlex is where love, passion, and expertise unite—to give you and your pet more happy years together.

Max did not like this – wish this was in a tablet form and odourless – it would be easier to give to him. Think he would eat it more readily in tablet form that had a chicken or beef taste or if in powder that there is no odour
Thank you for your feedback on DentaMax. We’re sorry to hear that Max didn’t enjoy the product. We understand that convenience and palatability are important to you and your pet.
We’re excited to inform you about our new launch: DentaMax Bone Broth Fusions. This innovative product combines our effective dental powder with the irresistible taste and aroma of beef bone broth, making it more appealing for pets. It’s designed to entice even the pickiest eaters while still providing the dental benefits you expect from DentaMax.
We appreciate your suggestion for a tablet form and will certainly consider it for future product developments. In the meantime, we hope DentaMax Bone Broth Fusions will be a hit with Max!
Thank you for being a valued customer, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any more suggestions or questions.
Your products are excellent but it takes too long to deliver. Would rather just purchase them in store if I need them urgently. Too few stores and too far away. Am in Westville Durban.
Sadly, this hasn’t made any difference to our dog’s breath but the vet has told us that his bad breath is not due to any dental issues.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. It’s important to note that the journey to fresher breath for our furry friends can vary. While some pet parents observe an almost immediate improvement in their dogs’ breath, for others, it may require up to five weeks of consistent daily use to fully neutralise any unpleasant odours. While it’s still very early days for your doggo we appreciate your patience and commitment to the process, and we’re here for any further assistance you might need.
Just a bit worried as my baby has been on Nutriflex advance supplement now for 3 months and I haven’t seen a dramatic improvement. Should I keep her on it longer?
Hi Amanda, we truly appreciate your patience and understand your concern. Please remember the time frame for seeing results can vary, as every animal is unique. Just because you haven’t seen a dramatic improvement just yet, does not signify that it won’t happen. This is because natural supplements work differently to traditional medications and natural alternative joint supplements like NutriFlex are first dispatched to where in the body they are most critically needed. This allocation may not align with our expectations, as the areas of immediate need might not be visible to us. Please continue with the recommended regimen of NutriFlex for at least another three to six months. You are also welcome to inbox us with more detailed information on your pets history for further recommendations.

I was under the impression I ordered the 4-pack – surprised when I saw only 3 tins. It’s ok. I will order 4+1 next time.
Hi Elza, you have been ordering the 4-pack regularly but your most recent order was placed for the 3-pack, which is what you have just received. Please accept our sincere apologies for any confusion caused.
My 7yr old mixed breed does have a deformed leg joint and still walks with a limp but he has stopped chewing the skin on his leg – so can only hope it’s helping with pain. Will finish the 3 tins and take it from there.
Hi Wendy, Unfortunately, nothing other than surgery can help correct a mechanical deformity but the fact that he has stopped chewing at his skin is great news!! NutriFlex has clearly relieved the inflammation and irritation while also helping to strengthen his other 3 limbs and joints which are probably taking the strain. With continued daily use his strength, health and well-being should continue to improve for at least the next 6 months onwards. Please keep us posted.
