Demi-Louise Lamont
Q: Hi good evening I have a bulldog who is limp on her hind leg X-rays show no damage or any reason so I think perhaps it could be a soft tissue injury what would you recommend please Thankyou
A: Hi Demi-Louise, thank you for your enquiry. For soft tissue injuries affecting mobility as described, Joint Support is the remedy of choice. Give 2 - 3 drops on a morsel of food 3 times daily, and continue for 10 days after all signs have disappeared - to help prevent reoccurrence. If there is no improvement after 14 days, you vet needs to take another look. Do let us know how you get on!

Jane
Q: I have very recently started using the digestive drops and I have come back to get some more and some other ranges but I am very confused as I can’t see any drops and the alternative products - I can’t tell are they powder or pills? My dogs are very fussy with both so I was hoping to get drops.
A: Hi Jane, all the remedies are in liquid form.
These are supplied in 50ml dropper bottles, so that a few drops can simply be added to food as directed.
The supplements are all powders, and are supplied in small and large tubs of the specified weight in grams. The appropriate amount can be mixed into any wet meals.

Andrienne Vasquez
Q: Hi , I am looking for a joint supplement for my 8 year old labradoodle that weighs 40kg . She has TTA surgery last year so has a metal plate in her knee . She has arthritis in this knee . Is this something she can have long term ? My dog has just recovered from a stomach ulcer caused by meds. I’m started her on Youmove but it upsets her tummy and the GLM powder makes her itch . Is this gentle on her tummy and if so is it double the dose to start ?
Thank you
A: 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.

Damien Lander
Q: Hi, I have two dogs 8kg and 28kg, small one is overly active and no visible issues with her previous knee surgeries from 6 years ago, 28kg had knee surgery 3 months back and is having problems since, atm she has a clicky knee. So I’m hopeing this stuff helps. How much would I need to buy to supply both dogs on a monthly basis please? Thank you.
A: 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.
Dawn Patterson
Q: My 4 y.o. Spinone has a suspected partial cruciate tear which the vet is treating with medication and careful on-lead exercise. Would the joint remedy be safe to use alongside medication or should I wait until he’s finished the prescribed course?
Ps I ordered the joint support powder last week not realising that you do a combined package so I’ve given myself a good slapping for not noticing!
A: 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.
Jane
Q: I have a 14 year old Westie who has just been put on Librella to aid his arthritis. He has been on various joint supplements for years. Is your product ok for him to use or is it too late for him to gain any benefit? As an elderly boy, he has days where he is like a spring chicken ( especially when he picks up the scent of a cat or fox) but has days where a short walk will suffice. Thank you!
A: 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.

Renee
Q: Hi Vince.
I’m wondering roughly how much of the “Joints” supplement would my dog require on a daily basis? She is an 8.5yo Australian Kelpie who is not overly active. She is stiff through her spine and RH (mainly).
Also, do you have any suppliers in Australia, or can I only order direct from your website?
Thanks.
Renée
A: 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

Q: My two dogs are 6 and 5 avd a half. I am giving them riaflex currently and green lipped mussel powder. On my lab does have sensitive stools sometimes, both are raw fed. No stiffness at moment but want to keep them healthy. Riaflex joint supplement my lab stools are sensitive too so only having green lipped at moment and salmon oil. Would your supplement be better? A digestion support what do you suggest?
A: Hi Jayne, Joints is easier to digest than most supplements because of the hydrolysed collagen it contains. Also it provides the nutritional building blocks the body needs to form ALL musculoskeletal tissues, including cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, fibrous supporting tissues and joint lubricating 'oil'. Glucosamine and chondroitin on the other hand largely support cartilage only. If you try Joints, you may find a digestive support is not necessary. And if you wanted enhanced joint support at any stage, you can purchase Joints and Joint Support as a bundle here, for a saving of £8.
This is great stuff it really is! I’ve tried so many different joint supplements for my dog. My two oldest both have arthritis. Billy had double elbow surgery in December and I started Joints the day after. I’m certain the Joints helped his healing, as even the surgeon was amazed as both elbows had large fissures which had screws placed in. My older lad has chronic arthritis in most joints, and he’s now on Joints powder and Joint Support remedy, and it’s helping him I’m sure.
