Hi Damien, thank you for your enquiry.

The optimum dose of the Joints powder is 1 teaspoon per 10kg daily, divided between meals. And so you would be using just under 4 teaspoons daily - 1 for the smaller dog, and 3 for the larger girl. A 400g tub supplies approximately 100 teaspoons, and so would last around 4 weeks (25-28 days). The Joint Support remedy, would last 6 months or more, as the dose is only 2-3 drops 3 times daily, regardless of size. And these can be added to food, and drinking water.

We hope this helps, and do let us know how you get on.

Hi Pam, if you scroll down the list of Previous Answers on the Joints 400g product page (underneath the button you used to ask this question) you will see our reply there.

Have also just forwarded this by email.

Joints powder can be mixed into any wet pet food. Alternatives to this used by many pet parents include plain live yoghurt, bone broth, a small amount of unsalted gravy, a little raw or cooked minced meat. The remedy drops can be given on a morsel of food as a treat. They can also be added to drinking water daily. Do let us know how you get on.  

Hi Renée, roughly 1 teaspoon of Joints powder twice daily. A 400g tub would last approximately 7 weeks. Even better results when given with Joint Support remedy. Both can be bought as a bundle for a saving of £8 here. We don't have any suppliers in Australia, unfortunately. Shipping there might be prohibitively expensive, but we could get a quote if you email us at info@vincethevet.co.uk 

Hi Sarah, thank you for your enquiry! The composition of Joints can be found by scrolling down the page and clicking on the + next to INGREDIENTS to expand the panel. What sets Joints apart is that it supplies the nutritional building blocks for ALL joint structures, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, bone, joint capsule, cartilage and synovial fluid (joint lubricating oil). Giving Joint Support at the same time further eases discomfort and aids ease of movement. Together they provide the best possible care for stiff joints available. See Coco's story here.

Hi Richard - great question! Two things to consider here. Firstly, blood tests for food sensitivities are notoriously unreliable, as they frequently return false positive and false negative results. This essentially means that if IgG or IgE suggest a food is reactive, it does not necessarily mean it will cause problems if fed. In fact the opposite could be true, with it being perfectly safe to include in the diet. The same applies to 'negative' results, which may actually cause reactions if given. Secondly, hydrolysed collagen, is significantly less allergenic than the beef protein it originates from, and so rarely causes problems even in genuinely beef sensitive dogs. If you'd like to give Joints a try, and it can't be used because there is a reaction, we'll refund the cost of the supplement for you. Do email me direct with your order number if you decide to go ahead on this basis at info@vincehevret.co.uk The Joint Support included in this bundle, is highly unlikely to cause any issues, given that it employs botanical extracts.  

Hi Mary, we're so pleased to hear the Joint Support Max bundle helped your elderly boy so successfully. Yes, the Joints powder and Joint Support Remedy can benefit people too! As a general rule 2 teaspoons of Joints twice daily is sufficient to begin with (in any wet food, such as plain yoghurt, soup, cottage cheeses a smoothie or something similar). After a month or two if there is still room for improvement more can be taken. Two to three drops of Joints Support plus Recuperation morning and evening is a good place to start. Again, if more relief is required after a month, another dose can be taken around mid-day. And if you let us know how you're getting on in 6 - 8 weeks, we can advise on further natural support if needed.    

Yes it will, but even better in these circumstances is Ultimate Joint Care for the reasons explained here. 

Good morning Andrienne, thank you for your enquiry.

Joints is the perfect supplement in these circumstances. It provides the body with the nutrients it needs to build and repair ALL joint structures, including muscles, tendons, ligament, bones, fibrous tissues, cartilage and joint lubricating 'oil'. It is very gentle on the stomach, and there is no need to give double the amount to begin with. Improvements in joint comfort and mobility are typically seen in within a few weeks. If there is still a need for additional relief after a month, giving the Joint Support remedy alongside Joints, soothes sore tissues and further aids ease of movement.

The composition can be found by scrolling down the left hand side of the product page and clicking on the + next to INGREDIENTS to open the data panel.

Joints does not contain glucosamine or chondroitin, as these largely target joint cartilage, whereas Joints provides the building blocks for ALL joint structures, including cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, ligaments, fibrous tissues and joint lubricating 'oil', And this is why it is so effective at aiding maximum mobility and flexibility. It also supports whole body musculoskeletal health.

You won't see any components listed in mg because Joints is a 100% natural supplement composed of a unique blend of whole foods and whole food extracts. When you see the amount of ingredients in mg, such as glucosamine, for example, it is because they are synthetically manufactured in large scale industrial plants.

Hi Dawn, thank you for your enquiry. 

Yes, all our supplements and remedies are safe to use alongside any medication prescribed by vet. And the sooner they are started the better when any injury has occurred. Guidance on how to provide the best possible nutritional support following cruciate ligament damage can be found here.

Do let us know how you get on.  

Hi Jane, it's never too late to try Joints and the Joint Support remedy. And both are safe to use alongside any medication prescribed by your vet.

It's best to use the two products in combination for the best results in dogs over 10 years of age, and who are either very stiff, or who have struggled with their mobility for some time.

Joints provides all the nutrients the body needs to build the healthiest possible cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, fibrous supporting tissues and joint lubricating 'oil'.

Joint Support soothes sore tissues, aids the body's natural adaptive and recuperative powers, and further aids ease of movement. See Coco's story here.  

Together they provide the best possible support for maximum mobility. Do let us know how you get on.

Hi, the collagen is bovine in origin.

Hi Patricia, the level of crude oils and fats in Joints is very low - less than 2%. 

Information on the composition of this supplement can be found under the heading INGREDIENTS on the left hand side of the page as you scroll down.   

Hi Melanie, 

They can be bought together as a bundle for a saving of £6 here.

Hi Maria, Joints is safe to use alongside any medication prescribed by a vet. Many pet parents find that after supplementing with Joints for a month (in conjunction with Joint Support drops if stiffness is severe) they are able to reduce the dose of drugs, and in some circumstances, discontinue them altogether. Joints and Joint Support can be bought together as a bundle for a saving of £8 here. Do let us know how you get on.

Hi Serena, yes it would.

This bundle would be even better. Give one and a half teaspoons of the powder twice daily, and 2-3 drops of the liquid remedy 3 times daily.
