The Nevetica pet business opportunity may seem like a lucrative dream job, but is it really as good as they say? Is it worth it to join NeVetica?
For dog lover like myself, I must say that the opportunity to build a business selling pet-health products, networking with other pet enthusiasts, and working on your own time sounds very luring.
BUT, it seems that every business opportunity is promoted as being the best in some way, so I never trust what I hear right from the start... and so I decided to do a little digging around to see how good this opportunity really is.
In this review I'll be going over what NeVetica is, the products, how the business opportunity works and the compensation plan, some downsides to it and more.

Overview
- Company: NeVetica
- Website: https://nevetica.com/
- Type: Pet product MLM company
- Cost to Join: $223.95
What Is NeVetica?
NeVetica, in a nutshell, is a company that sells pet products and has a MLM business opportunity attached to it.
They are headquartered in Maryland, USA, and can be contacted by phone at (240) 258-7387, or by email at info@yourbusinessshop.com (the email is strange, I know... but this is how it's listed on the website).
As far as products go, they sell a variety of pet supplements and pet-care products, that probably aren't for the average pet owner, but rather for the extreme pet owner who is semi-obsessed with keeping their pet's health optimal. Some can be for both dogs and cats, but the main focus here is on dogs.
The company was created due to the lack of nutritional options there are for pets (their words) and state that "supplementation shouldn't be an option, it's a necessity", which I completely disagree with because it is totally dependent on whether or not nutrients are being obtained in optimal doses from the normal diet to begin with... but this is neither here nor there. The company sells supplements for pets and of course tells you that buying such supplements should be a necessity.
2016 was the year the company was founded, but I haven't been able to find any information on who the founders are behind everything. That said, the company is legitimate and the products seem to be high quality... although I wouldn't suggest jumping in on the business opportunity just yet.
Products
Before we talk about the business opportunity, let's take a look at what you'll be selling if you decide to join...
Dental Chews - $27.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
The dental chews are mainly for keeping tartar away, but can also help freshen your dog's breath. One of the key ingredients included here is spirulina, which is included in the crunchy outer layer of the chews and helps break down hard tartar buildup.
Calming Support - $34.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
Pets get anxiety too, and no loving pet-owner wants them to suffer from this. The Calming Support product features a mix of green tea extract and lemon balm powder in soft-chew form to help combat this problem, both of which have been shown to be effective for such problems.
Water Additive Mouthwash - $24.99-$29.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
This product is a liquid additive that you can simply mix into your dog's (or cat's) water bowl. The main ingredient is peppermint oil, which helps support healthy gums, can help whiten teeth, freshens breath, and can even help soothe upset stomachs.
Digestive Support - $34.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
Digestive Support's main ingredients are aloe vera, rosemary extract, fiber, and probiotics... and the goal here is to promote healthy digestion and proper bowel movements. This product comes in the form of soft-chews.
Hip & Joint - $35.99-$45.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
As pets age their joints can start to ache and this can lead to increased laziness, which can decrease overall health. Hip & Joint is NeVetica's joint-health product and comes in soft-chews for easy feeding. The main ingredient here is glucosamine, which is well known to support health joints, bones, and ligaments.
Multivitamin - $34.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
With over 20 vitamins/minerals in each soft-chew, this multivitamin supplement is good for overall health. Brain support, heart health, liver function, etc... are all supported here.
Skin & Coat - $34.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
Formulated with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, Skin & Coat soft-chews help support that nice sleek coat of fur that every dog owner wants, and that every dog looks and feels much better with.
Paw Protector - $22.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
The paws are often neglected and can become chapped, which leads to cracking. This can hurt, just like how cracked skin on us humans hurts, and Paw Protector is here to help fight against this. Cacao and beeswax help lock in the moisture and provide vitamins/minerals to help aid healing.
This product would be particularly good for dogs who live in areas with cold/dry winters.
Anti Itch Pet Spray - $24.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
This is a spray that contains essential oils (among other natural ingredients) that can help soothe itchy and irritated skin, as well as leave fur shiny and soft. It would also be good for helping to promote healing in irritated areas.
Waterless Shampoo - $29.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
Most dogs hate getting baths. They may like to run through dirty puddles, but baths are off-limits. With Waterless Shampoo cleaning your dog is made easy. In addition to cleaning, this product contains essential oils that is good for a healthy coat and can promote healing.
Wet-A-Way - $24.99
[Source: nevetica.com]
Wet-A-Way is a powder for absorbing liquid spills that are the result of your pet, which means that if one has a dog or cat that has a problem with urinating indoors, this may be a good purchase.
Product Bundles/Kits
In addition to the individual products available, there are also bundles that can be purchased. These are particularly good for those interested in the business opportunity because of their higher prices, which means higher commissions.
- Oral Care System - $46.99-$51.99
- Dental Chews & Water Additive Mouthwash
- Hygiene Kit - $74.99
- Anti-Itch Pet Spray, Paw Protector, and Waterless Shampoo
- Mature Dog Bundle - $67.99-$77.99
- Hip & Joint and Digestive Support
Overpriced?
There is a good chance that the products are overpriced, but it's hard to say for sure because there isn't much information given on the quality of ingredients.
For example, many of their products include essential oils. These ingredients alone can vary greatly in quality, and because of this can vary greatly in price.
I have no reason to doubt that NeVetica uses high quality ingredients, but even with high quality ingredients the prices are pretty high. This is common with MLMs. MLMs, NeVetica included, put a lot of effort into branding and so you have to realize that with the price you are paying for the brand too.
Can similar cheaper products be found? Absolutely.
Pet App
One more thing I want to talk about before going over the business opportunity in detail is the app they have, which they call a "one stop shop for your pet's needs".
[Source: nevetica.com]
NeVetica has a pet app that helps separate them from other similar companies. Inside this app people can:
- shop for NeVetica products
- track pet fitness goals
- have access to lost pet alerts and a pet-owner social network
- watch training videos
- have access to all sorts of pet info
As someone who wants to participate in the business opportunity, this app can help. It shows people that this company is the real deal, and not just another pet-health company.
That said, I'm not sure how great this app at this point in time. The company has big dreams for it, but who knows how well it will catch on.
Business Opportunity
When it comes to the business opportunity, as you probably already know, it's promoted as being some magical opportunity.
They say that you can "achieve the lifestyle you want and the freedom to enjoy it"...
[Source: nevetica.com]
But they all say something along these lines and it's no secret that most people fail with MLMs.
What Is a MLM?
You probably already know this, but in case not, a MLM (multi-level marketing) business is one that relies on an independent sales force of distributors to do all the selling of products, and also provides incentive to recruit other distributors into the business.
Cost of Getting Started
Like most MLMs, starting out with NeVetica begins with buying a business pack to get going.
- NeVetica Business Builder Pack ($199) - With this pack you get training material, products, banners, and more.
- NeVetica Product Pack ($475) - Apparently you have to purchase this product pack to be able to resell the product packs themselves (so I've heard). With this pack a bunch of products are included.
- NeVetica Tech Pack ($24.99/mo) - The tech pack provides a replica NeVetica website that you can refer people to in order to sell products online. This can be purchased along with any of the other product packages, and in my opinion is pretty pricey (some MLMs provide replicated websites for free).
*Things are a bit confusing due to the lack of information provided by NeVetica, but it seems that you'll likely have to purchase one of the first two packs listed along with the tech pack... which means a minimum of $199 + $24.95/mo = $223.95 to get started.
Compensation Plan
Ranks
There are 14 ranks total and, as you will see, the amount you can earn in the compensation plan depends greatly on your rank...
- Pet Consultant (this is where you start out)
- Senior Pet Consultant
- Area Pet Consultant
- Regional Pet Consultant
- Director
- Area Director
- Regional Director
- National Director
- Vice President
- President
- International President
- Diamond
- Blue Diamond
- Black Diamond
Climbing up the ranks at NeVetica is no different than just about every other MLM out there... it's all about recruitment, building a team and increasing the group sales volume.
9 Ways to Get Paid
#1 - Personal Sales Bonuses
The good ol' fashion personal sales bonus... this bonus can be up to 35% and is earned on the products you personally sell.
There isn't much information on the business opportunity in general, or detailed info on the comp plan, but I'd assume that you can make these commissions by either:
- referring people to purchase on your personal NeVetica website or
- purchasing products yourself at a discount price and reselling them at a markup
This is how it usually works.
#2 - First Order Bonus
And here's where the MLM part of it starts to come into play (the part where you earn money from distributors you recruited in and others beneath you).
With the First Order Bonus you will be able to earn up to 15% commissions from the sales that people make in your downline down to 3 levels deep.
- The people you directly recruit in are your level 1; the people they recruit in are your level 2, and so on.
Additionally, if you make it to the rank of Regional Director, you will be able to earn an extra 5% bonus here going down additional levels until there is another Regional Director. So, for example, it could look like this if you make it to the Regional Director rank...

In the diagram above you can see that there is another Regional Director, and you would not earn this bonus from the downline below this person.
#3 - Unilevel Bonus
The unilevel bonus pays up to 10% of the sales volume of your downline going down as many as 6 levels.

*Note: There can be any number of people on any level. The image from NeVetica shown above leads one to believe that there are 3 positions below each person, but in reality it could look more like this:
#4 - Turbo Infinity Bonus
This bonus pays a percent on the sales volume down infinite levels. But, of course you have to make it to the rank of President to unlock this.
#5 - Income Match Bonus
This bonus is a matching bonus of up to 25% of what those in your downline earn, going down as many as 6 generations.
Additionally, if you make it to the rank of International President or above you can earn up to 8% on top of this.
#6 - Leadership Advancement
This is a one-time bonus paid out when you achieve the rank of National Director and higher. It ranges anywhere from $1k to $100k and is paid out for each rank as follows...
- $1k for achieving National Director
- $2k for achieving Vice President
- $4k for achieving President
- $7.5k for achieving International President
- $15k for achieving Diamond
- $40k for achieving Blue Diamond
- $100k for achieving Black Diamond
#7 - Global Pool Bonus
This is a 1% bonus that is distributed among leaders on a quarterly basis. It is a 1% pool of all the qualified commissions generated by everyone in the entire company.
#8 - Sponsored Incentive Trips
Every year NeVetica hosts an exotic trip for the leaders in the company... as it seems a lot of MLMs do.
#9 - Executive Leadership Council
This is an all-inclusive trip for leaders of the company along with the president of it all.
And that's it! Want a vague video description of it all? You can watch NeVetica's official video of the comp plan here...
Outlook
As I briefly mentioned above, MLMs are notorious for having extremely high failure rates. So much so, in fact, that a study by the Consumer Awareness Institute found that 99% of people who get involved lose money.
Yes, they are often promoted as the greatest opportunities to ever bless this earth, but the reality is a bit different.
However, on the upside, NeVetica is a new and still small company in a market that I think has room to expand... and this is good.
Imagine being able to get into a business like Herbalife early on before the market was saturated just about everywhere. NeVetica is still a very small-scale company, and this means the market for recruiting in new distributors is much bigger.
Additionally, I think there is a fair amount of room for pet MLM companies like this to grow.
Scam/Pyramid Scheme Concerns
Is NeVetica a Scam? Is NeVetica a pyramid scheme?
Both of these questions are important to answer... and the answers are No and No.
NeVetica is a legitimate business that sells legitimate products, which as far as I can tell are high quality and work well, although there are a lack of reviews available online because of how small this company still is.
And Yes, the business model definitely has a pyramid structure to it... but all MLMs do.
The pyramid structure is the reason most people fail. This is due to money being sucked from those at the bottom and flowing to those at the top, which results in a major uneven distribution of income.
But, it's not a pyramid scheme. The difference, as explained in my post here, is that NeVetica sells real products to real customers and brings in revenue because of this, whereas pyramid schemes just earn money from the constant recruitment of new investors and/or forcing them to purchase products when joining.
Pros v Cons
Pros
- Good and unique products
- Niche (pet health) is continuing to grow
- Not many other MLMs out there like this
- Have a nifty little app to monitor pet health, help find products and more
- Business opportunity available
Cons
- Products are a bit pricey
- It's a MLM, so it will be more difficult to make money with than it may seem
Conclusion - Worth Joining?
One thing is for certain, if you are thinking about joining just for the money then you shouldn't do it! MLMs, as mentioned, are difficult to make good money with as it is... and if you don't have passion for dogs and their health then this will just make it all the more difficult and not very enjoyable.
It would be nice if there was an earnings disclosure provided by NeVetica that showed the average earnings of distributors, but unfortunately we are left in the dark here... but I'd assume it's pretty low on average based on how MLMs operate (majority of people at the bottom of pyramid having money sucked away from them).
So, is it worth joining? This is a hard question for me to answer because I like what the company stands for and I like pets, but I'm really not a fan of MLMs. The decision is ultimately up to you. Just don't join unless you are truly passionate about pets and know that it will be more difficult than it seems. In order to make good money with MLMs you have to recruit, recruit, recruit, and take advantage of the pyramid commission structure.
