Hi Rebecca, for cats it's half a capsule daily. For dogs up to 10kg it's half twice daily, for dogs up to 25kg it's one twice daily and for dogs 26kg and upwards it's 2 capsules twice daily. For horses it's 3 twice daily.

Hi Julie, for the average Westie of around 10kg the dose would be half a capsule twice daily and so one bottle would last 90 days / 3 months. Do let us know how you get on.

Dogs:

Small (5kg - 10kg): half a capsule twice daily (this can easily be opened and the powder mixed into a little tasty food).

Medium (11kg - 25kg): one capsule twice daily.

Large (26kg - 35kg plus): 2 capsules twice daily.

One capsule twice daily for both.  ????

Hi Emma, it would be 2 capsules twice daily initially. After 12 weeks it may be possible to reduce to one capsule twice daily for maintenance. 

Hi Sharon, PEA has proved to be effective at reducing itching in 2 out or 3 dogs with Atopy (a sensitivity to environmental allergens). It has also been shown to be very effective at relieving joint discomfort. Give the PEA for 12 weeks and then follow the guidance here and here.

Hi, yes it can help cats with itching caused by allergic reactions to allergens inside and outside the home. 

Hi Lynn, yes that's fine, 

With food is fine. And do let us know how you get on. 

Yes, but you would need to open the capsules (the ends easily slide apart) and give a quarter in food twice daily. Do let us know how you get on.  

2 capsules twice daily for 12 weeks and then reduce to one twice daily for maintenance.

One capsule twice daily for 12 weeks and then one twice daily for maintenance. 

PEA has been shown to significantly reduce itching in 2 out of 3 dogs with a sensitivity to environmental allergens. On this basis alone it is worth trialling for 12 weeks to see what impact it has on your dog's skin problems. Do let us know how you get on.

The PEA is extracted from sustainably sourced palm oil. It is micronised for optimum bioavailability. The powder is 100% pure palmitoylethanolamide with no other ingredients / additives of any kind.

Hi Carol, we can't comment on another product unfortunately because we have no way of knowing how it is produced, from what, what the certificate of analysis results are (which measures levels of heavy metals and potentially pathogenic microbes are etc.

Hi Nicola, yes it can.

Hi Katey, as a general rule, we advise giving half the dose to dogs with sensitive stomachs just to be on the safe side. And yes it can be given alongside additional joint supplements. Foe the best possible combination we advise Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here.

Hi Victoria, yes PEA is safe to use alongside any medications prescribed by your vet. 

Hi Penny, yes this supplement is fine for people too, as we only use the highest quality human food grade micronised palmitoylethanolamide available. The dose for people is two capsules twice daily for 12 weeks and then one twice daily for maintenance. Do let us know how you get on. 

There is no evidence PEA adversely affects bitches in heat or conception rates. 

Hi Kate, we're sorry to hear of your poor girl's problems, which sadly affect many Frenchies. Given that PEA has been shown to significantly reduce itching in 2 out of 3 dogs reacting to environmental allergens, PEA is certainly worth trying. You may find that itching persists if she continues to be exposed to food allergens, but that it becomes less intense and require a lower dose of medication if the reaction to allergens inside and outside the home is reduced. If you let us know how things are going in 12 week's we can advise further. Also read through the guidance here and here. 

Yes, we use the highest quality micronised palmitoylethanolamide available. The dose for humans is 2 capsules twice daily for 12 weeks, and then reduced to one twice daily for maintenance.  

Hi, we ship globally. USA can be selected from the drop down list of destinations at checkout. ????

Yes it is.

Hi Susa, yes it can. 

PEA is beneficial for humans, dogs, cats and other animals. Adding PEA and the Joint Support plus Recuperation remedy to your dog's joint support regime is likely to help a great deal for the reasons described here. The dose for people is 2 capsules twice daily for 12 weeks and then reduce to one twice daily for maintenance. A lady has just posted this on our Facebook page: 

PEA is a natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic and supplementation significantly reduces discomfort and inflammation in joints. The best Joint supplement to use alongside PEA for maximum joint care and mobility is Joints which is far superior to glucosamine and chondroitin for the reasons explained here.   

Hi Lorraine, guidance on how to best use PEA when already giving medication can be found by clicking on this link. 

And yes you can continue with the pre and probiotic you are using (if you would like advice on an alternative at any stage,  do drop us s line at info@vincethevet.co.uk). 

Yes you can (the 2 ends of the capsule easily slide apart). Give half a capsule twice daily for 12 weeks and then reduce to half daily for maintenance. Do let us know how you get on.  

Yes PEA can be given alongside any medications prescribed by your vet. 

Hi Holly, if you scroll down the product page until DIRECTIONS appears on the left hand side and click on the + next to this, it will expand the panel to display the dosing instructions. 

Yes, PEA is safe to use when renal issues are present. 

It depends on weight. The average cat weighs around 3kg and a quarter of a capsule would be sufficient for such a pet. For larger cats weighing around 5kg or more, half a capsules would be better. 

A quarter of a capsule daily. The ends easily slide apart so the powder can be mixed in food.

Hi, have replied to this on Facebook. To confirm if a fungal or yeast infection is present, it is best if a vet swabs an affected area, smears the sample obtained on a slide, stains it and examines this under a microscope. It is important to be aware that yeast infections are often secondary to another cause, which needs to be identified and successfully addressed to provide a long term cure. More information can be found here - https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/.../yeasty-skin-tried-all...

Yes, you can. Click on this link for guidance on how to best use PEA when already giving medication.

Hi Suzie, yes PEA can be given alongside steroids. Guidance on how to best do this with a view to reducing medication can be found by clicking on this link.  With regards to mobility Ultimate Joint Support provides the best possible joint comfort and care in circumstances like this, for the reasons explained here.

Yes, PEA can be given alongside any medication prescribed by your vet. An even better option would be to give Ultimate Joint Support which provides the best possible joint comfort and care in circumstances like this, for the reasons explained here.

Yes, if your vet has diagnosed a sensitivity to environmental allergens as the cause of itching (see 'How is Atopy Diagnosed?by clicking on this link) it is worth trialling PEA for 12 weeks, given it has been shown to significantly reduce itching and skin irritation in 2 out of 3 atopic dogs. You can purchase this here. It is also worth reading this before purchasing: ITCHING MADE SIMPLE and also watching this short video about yeast fuelling foods. Do let us know how you get on. 

Supplementation to support quality of life for as long as possible in circumstances like this, can be found by clicking on this link.  These supplements can be added to a commercial pet food diet if home-cooking is not practical for any reason. As heart disease is also present - this remedy will also be beneficial.  

Hi Julie, it's certainly worth trialling, given that in a clinical study involving 610 people who were unable to control chronic pain with standard therapies, all who completed the trial experienced a significant reduction on pain intensity after 7 weeks. We suggest taking 2 capsules twice daily to begin with and then, if there is a good response, reducing to one capsule twice daily for maintenance, to see if this is sufficient for continued relief.

Given at the suggested dose, this is usually the case, but it can depend on the reason for the low fat diet. 

After the initial 12 weeks, the dose can be reduced to half the previous amount to see if this is sufficient for maintenance.  

Absolutely! We use only the finest quality, human food grade palmitoylethanolamide in our PEA. And in one trial involving 610 people suffering from chronic pain which couldn't be managed by conventional means, all experienced a significant reduction in pain intensity following 7 weeks supplementation with PEA. You may also find the following feedback of interest - click here.  The dose is 2 capsules twice daily for 12 weeks, and then, if there has been a good response, it can be reduced to one twice daily to see if this is sufficient for maintenance. 

The capsules easily come apart so that the powered can be mixed into any food. And we've not had any horse guardians reporting our PEA was not accepted. 

The best supplement in these circumstances is PEA as it has been shown to significantly reduce itching in 2 out of 3 dogs sensitive to environmental allergens. 

Hi Sophie, it's 2 capsules twice daily for 12 weeks, and then, if there has been a good response reduce to one capsule twice daily to see if this is sufficient for maintenance. If you scroll down the page until you see DIRECTIONS on the left hand side, you will find the instructions there. 

Hi Melanie, completely understand, you're not the only pet parent who finds themselves in this position unfortunately. The first step is to giver PEA for 12 weeks and then email info@vincethevet.co.uk with details of your dog's weight, diet and medication at that point so we can advise further. 

PEA has natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and for these reasons may be of benefit for your dog. In addition to this, guidance on supporting a dog with cancer naturally can be found here.

Is the skin itchy, and does the Apoquel work? 

The dosages can be found by scrolling down the PEA product page until 'DIRECTIONS' appears on the left hand side. Clicking on the + to the right of the heading will open up the dosing instructions panel. Dual and triple packs of PEA are available which discounts the price.  

To date no contraindications have been reported. In fact, in animal models of epilepsy and acute seizures, supplementation with PEA has been shown to reduce severity and frequency of attacks - click here. It's possible therefore that after giving PEA for 12 weeks your vet may be able to reduce the dose of anti-convulsant medication required for maintenance. 

No, it is 100% pure, human food grade, micronised palmitoylethanolamide produce specifically for us according to our specifications to ensure maximum health benefits not only for animals, but people too. 

Hi, the dose would be one capsule twice daily for 12 weeks = 168 capsules. You would therefore need 2 a bottles of PEA. Click here to buy the dual pack for a saving of £4.

If the itching hasn't reduced yet, you can try increasing the PEA to one capsule twice daily. If the stools become too soft, reduce the dose back down again. Do let us know how things are going in another 6 weeks. Also take a look at this blog (click on link in blue). 

Hi, if your vet has diagnosed a sensitivity to environmental allergens as the cause of itching (see 'How is Atopy Diagnosed?by clicking on this link) it is worth trialling PEA for 12 weeks, given it has been shown to significantly reduce itching and skin irritation in 2 out of 3 atopic dogs. You can purchase this here. It is also worth giving Insect plus Itch Relief to ease skin irritation while waiting for PEA to reach peak effect as this cab 8 - 12 weeks for some dogs. If you let us know how you're getting on in 2 - 3 months we can advise further. 

The dosage depends on weight. What does you dog weigh? 

Hi Nicola, the best option would be the Ultimate Joint Support bundle. For the dog on Librela this provides the best possible joint comfort and care which has helped many dogs come off this drug. For the dog with a sensitivity to environmental allergens (who is on Cytopoint)  giving PEA has been shown to significantly reduce itching in 2 out of 3 atopic dogs (please note it is is important to give PEA for at least 12 weeks before gauging its effect as it can take this long for some dogs).

Hi, give one dose in a teaspoon of fresh food and the other in the main meal. It's bests to space the doses apart to help maintain a steady level of PEA in the body, as this tends to be more effective. 

Hi, yes you can. Give one capsule twice daily and if you let us know how things are going in 12 weeks we can advise further. It's also often beneficial to give Insect plus Itch Relief (2 - 3 drops 3 times daily on a teaspoon of fresh food) to help ease skin irritation while waiting for PEA to reach peak effect (which can be 12 weeks for some dogs).

Hi Jackie, yes you can.

Hi Lucy, thank you for your message. You can set up a subscription service via our Amazon Store - click here.

It depends on weight. If you scroll down the product page until you see the heading 'DIRECTIONS' on the left hand side and click on the + to the right, this will expand the dosage panel. 

Hi Denise, you can safely double the dose. If the stools become too soft, reduce the amount slightly until they firm up again Do let us know how you get on. 

Yes it is, 

Ultimate Joint Support is the best option in these circumstances for the reasons explained here. Although PEA is a fatty acid amine it is not known to adversely affect pancreatic function.

Only very rarely, and usually only in dogs who have had a previous history of digestive upsets. 

Hi Mel, you can start PEA straight away if your vet has diagnosed a sensitivity to environmental allergens as the cause of your dogs skin issues. (It's also beneficial to give  2 - 3 drops of Insect plus Itch Relief 3 times daily on a teaspoon of fresh food - not kibble) to help ease skin irritation while waiting for PEA to reach full effect, which can take up to 12 weeks for some dogs). It's never a good idea to stop medication abruptly for the reasons outlined here - which is why we advise giving PEA for at least 12 weeks before any drugs being given are adjusted. 

Hi, try giving the PEA separately from meals in a tablespoon of plain live yoghurt / bone broth and let us know if that makes any difference over the next 10 days. 

In most cases it is, but if the allergies are sever you can increase this to half a capsule twice daily. Do let us know how you get on. 

PEA is formulated for cats as well as dogs, and horses.

After giving PEA for 12 weeks, you can gradually start reducing the dose of medication in accordance with the guidelines here to see if a lower dose is sufficient or if it is still needed at all. At that stage you could also stop the digestion and coat care products. On another note, Ultimate Joint Support provides the most effective joint comfort and care available. Do let us know how you get on.

As a general rule if there has been a good response to PEA the daily amount can be reduced to half to see if this is sufficient for maintenance. And if it is, it can be continued indefinitely. 

As you cat appears sensitive to the initial amount given, try adding half this amount to a main meal. If this is tolerated, continue at this level for a month and then increase to the original dose once more to see if this suits. Do let us know how you get on. 

Hi Joan, what does your lurcher weigh?

the best option in circumstances like this is Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here.

Yes it can.

Hi Cristina, could you please send details of your qualifications and where you work to info@vincethevet.co.uk

PEA is produced naturally by the body to help regulate inflammation and reduce pain. Topping up this level with dietary supplementation can be highly beneficial in such circumstances. An even better option is Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here .

We don't advise changing any medication until has been given for at least 12 weeks to give it time to reach peak effect. Guidance on this can be found here.

What are the injuries? 

As long as your dog is already on a diet containing less than 10% fat, giving PEA at the suggested daily amount should be fine.

PEA is well tolerated by the great majority of dogs, even those with dietary sensitivities. Stool softening can occur in a small number of pets with a history of digestive upsets, but this quickly reverses if it is paused, and restarted at half the previous amount. 

For maximum joint comfort and care, Ultimate Joint Support is the best option for the reasons explained here.

Both products act on the calming centre in the brain and so when anxiety is a persistent issue, better results are often chieved by giving both supplements.  

Hi, it can be given with any kind of meal. And if easier, the capsule can be opened and the powder tipped onto food.

2 capsules twice daily.

Yes, there is no reason why these can't be given together. 

In our experience Ultimate Joint Support is the best option for the reasons explained here. We don't ship direct to South Africa  but can deliver to a fright forwarding company of choice in the UK.

No research has been carried out on the use of PEA in birds, including Emu's, unfortunately. 

We ship globally. Canada can be selected from the dropdown list of destinations at checkout. 

PEA is perfectly safe for a dog to have in these circumstances. Also take a look at Ultimate Joint Support as part of a kidney support diet. 

Yes, it can. 

It's such a low dose of steroid, it's worth waiting until the seasonal allergy season is over before trying to reduce the medication to perhaps every third day (but ask your vet first). Digestion is the best probiotic. For the best outcome we suggest giving this with Time Health's Bio Cultures (enter the code vincethevet15 at checkout to receive a 15% discount). 

Yes quercetin can be used alongside PEA, and they can be given at the same time. You might also want to read the guidance here and also add Insect plus Itch Relief to your boy's regime. 

Yes, PEA is safe to use alongside any medication prescribed by your vet. For even greater joint care benefits compared to any other products, Ultimate Joint Support is the bundle of choice, for the reasons explained here.

Yes, it is perfectly safe for dogs with kidney disease.

Yes, it can.

There is only one ingredient - 100% pure, human food grade, natural palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). To learn more on this click here.

We can add Finland to the list of destinations for global shipping if you wish to o ahead and purchase this? 

The dose for a 25kg dog would be one twice daily. A single bottle of 90 capsules would therefore last just over 6 weeks. After 12 weeks the dose can be reduced to one capsule daily to see if this is sufficient for maintenance. If there is any slipping back, the dose can simply be increased again.  

Hi Laura, half a capsule each once daily in food should be sufficient for both. If the main meal becomes 2 dry with the addition of the powders, try adding a little bone broth, meat stock or saltless gravy to improve palatability. Alternatively give PEA powder separately in a little plain live yoghurt, cream cheese or similar. Do let us know how you get on. 

Great to hear! If you're not already giving Insect plus Itch Relief it would be good to add this to your Westies regime alongside PEA (2 - 3 drops twice or three times daily on a teaspoon of raw). More guidance on helping an itchy dog can be found here. If you let us know how you're getting on in a month's time we'd be happy to advise further. 

If yeast infection is secondary to a sensitivity to environmental irritants, PEA typically help 2 out of 3 dogs. It does need to be given for at least 12 weeks before gauging its effect, and if you email us (at info@vincethevet.co.uk) at that point to let us know how you're getting on, we can advise further. 

Yes, it is. And for guidance on how to provide nutritional support to dogs with kidney dysfunction, click here.

PEA is safe to use alongside any medication prescribed by your vet including antihistamines. 

A very small number of dogs with sensitive digestive systems or a history of bowel upsets can experience stool softening. If this occurs, the PEA is best paused until normal stools have been passed for at least 5 days. The PEA can then be reintroduced at half the previous amount, divided between meals. This usually solves any issues. Do let us know how you get on, if this applies to your pet. 

In our experience PEA significantly soothes itchy skin in 2 out of 3 dogs reacting to environmental irritants - which predominantly affects the paws and hairless areas of the body, including the ears. It's also beneficial to give Insect plus Itch Relief to help ease skin irritation while waiting for PEA to reach peak effect, which can take up to 12 weeks for some dogs. 

The best option in these circumstances is Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here. And if you give these 3 supplements Riaflex and most likely paracetamol will be superfluous to requirements.  

The best option in these circumstances would be Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here. And if you used these 3 supplements, all other joint products would be superfluous to requirements. You may also like to consider switching to algal oil from fish oil for the reasons explained here.

There is no evidence that PEA is not safe to use in these circumstances, when used as directed. PEA is a fatty acid amide, but it does not act like dietary fats that trigger pancreatic enzyme secretion. It is also safe to use alongside other supplements. 

Fabulous to hear PEA worked so well for Archie! Yes, it is best that PEA is continued for life, to help the skin remain comfortable despite being exposed to whatever environmental substances are triggering the itching. For most Westies the maintenance amount would be one capsule daily - but you can give double this until the nibblin ghotspots have fully cleared. Do let us know how Archie gets on. 

Yes you can. We actually sell these 2 supplements plus the joint support remedy as a bundle for a saving of £8 here.

Joints would be the product of choice initially, as this improves joint comfort and mobility in 90%+ dogs when stiffness first appears. If after 2 months there is still further room for improvement, that would be the time to upgrade to Ultimate Joint Support.

Yes PEA is perfectly safe to give in these circumstances, and can also be used alongside any medication prescribed by your vet. Guidance on additional supplements that can help to maintain quality of life in kidney compromised dogs, can be found here. 

Yes, PEA is safe to use alongside any medication prescribed by your vet.

The only side-effect reported in more than 60 years of use, is the occasional softening of stools (usually in dogs who have a history of digestive upsets), which typically resolves when supplementation is paused and restarted at the previous dose, once formed faeces are being passed once more. It's impossible to predict in advance however, if PEA will suit a particular pet, if they are especially sensitive to supplements. 

The capsules can be given inside a piece of apple or any favourite treat. 3 capsules twice daily suits most ponies. Be sure to give PEA for at least 12 weeks before gauging any effect, as it can take this long to reach peak effect in some animals. 

Hi Sarah, PEA and Insect plus Itch Relief can significantly reduce itching in 2 out of 3 dogs caused by a reaction to environmental substances (seasonal and those present all year round). NOTE:  It is important to give them for at least 12 weeks before gauging any impact, as it can take this long for PEA to reach peak effect in some pets. For guidance on how to help a pet with anal sac issues, click here. 

Hi Wendy, yes it can. And many pet parents find that after giving PEA for 12 weeks, Piriton  is often no longer necessary. Do let us know how you get on. 

Hi Samantha, first thing to do is double the dose of PEA and start giving Insect plus Itch Relief (2 - 3 drops on a teaspoon of fresh food 3 times daily) if this is not being done already. Let us know how things are going in 3 - 4 weeks time, and in the meantime have a read of the Itchy Skin Action Planhere.  

Yes, give half a capsule daily. (The 2 ends easily slide apart so the powder can be added to food.)

Hi Rachel, yes it is fine to give these both at the same time. Insect plus Itch Relief can also be given with these supplements to help ease skin irritation while waiting for PEA to reach peak effect - which can take up to 12 weeks for some dogs. Do let us know how you get on. 

To begin with, the best combination to give would be PEA and Insect plus Itch Relief.

Yes, PEA also acts on the calming centres in the brain. For dogs who are very sensitive to thunder, fireworks, loud noises and bangs, it is highly beneficial to give alongside the Thunder & Fireworks remedy. (For the best outcome, start as soon as it arrives and continue both until after New Year's Eve.)

And is you let us know how things are going in 12 week's time, we can advise further if necessary.

Hi Judith, PEA can be used to help maintain cognitive function as outlined here.

Kidney plus Bladder Support is also helpful in these circumstances in many cases. It's important to give the remedy for at least 8 - 12 weeks however, before asking your vet if you could trial reducing the dose of medication to see if it is still needed. 

Yes, in these circumstances, adding PEA and Joint Support plus Recuperation to the regime, significantly improves joint comfort and care in most cases,  for the reasons explained here. (All 3 products can be purchased as a bundle for a saving of £6 here - Ultimate Joint Support . If you let us know how things are going in 8 week's time we can advise further if necessary. 

The best option when growths / cysts of various kind are appearing, is Immunity, (given continually, long-term) as this often reflects an immune system that is weakened for some reason - as explained here.

PEA has been shown to significantly reduce itching in 2 out of 3 dogs reactive to environmental substances. It is best to give for 12 weeks before gauging the response, as it can take up to 12 weeks to reach peak effect in some dogs. It's also worth giving Insect plus Itch Relief remedy at the same time to help ease skin irritation while waiting to assess the impact of giving PEA for 3 months. If you let us know how things are going in 12 week's time, we can advise further if necessary.

Hi Chris, 

Hi Julie, yes PEA is certainly worth trialling for a couple of months at last. In one human study, 610 people suffering from chronic pain which wasn't being managed by traditional means, all taking PEA for a minimum of 7 weeks experienced a significant reduction in pain intensity. It would also be highly beneficial for your sister to take Joints to help nourish and lubricate the musculoskeletal tissues in the back  Do let us know how you get on.

Yes it is. Even better, is to give the 3 supplements in Ultimate Joint Support as many pet parents find that after giving these for 12 weeks, other joint products are no longer necessary. And in some cases, medication can also be reduced, or withdrawn altogether. Do let us know how you get on. 

Yes, PEA is safe to use alongside any medication prescribed by your vet, and also does not adversely affect kidney function. If you let us know how things are going in 12 week's time, we can advise further if necessary.

And if you let us know how things are going in 12 week's time, we can advise further if necessary. 

PEA and Insect plus Itch Relief  are certainly worth trialling for 12 week's in these circumstances, as PEA helps to stabilise mast cells which are involved in allergic reactions, and the remedy helps to ease skin irritation while waiting for PEA to reach peak effect, which can take up to 12 weeks for some animals. If you let us us know how things are going after 12 weeks on both of these supplements, we can advise further if necessary.

The best option for joint issues in these circumstances is Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here. Also add in Insect plus Itch Relief to complement the PEA in the joint bundle, as both these supplements help to reduce itching in 2 out of 3 dogs reactive to environmental substances. And if you let us know how things are going in 12 week's time, we can advise further if necessary.  

Hi Lesley, the best option in these circumstances would be Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here. Joints provides the nutritional building blocks for the body to heal damaged / strained musculoskeletal tissues and better lubricate joints. PEA aids the body's natural anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving pathways to increase joint comfort and mobility. The following suits most people. Joints - 2 teaspoons twice daily (mixed in a smoothie, soup, bone broth, porridge, yoghurt or similar). PEA 2 capsules twice daily. Joint Support plus Recuperation: 2 -3 drops 3 times daily on a clean tongue. If you let us know how things are going in 8 week's time we can advise further if necessary. 

Half a capsule daily should be fine.

The capsules easily slide apart so the powder can be mixed into food. 

Yes it is. An even better option if maximum joint comfort and care is the goal is Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here And when giving these 3 supplements, there is usually no need for any other joint products. 

It is certainly worth trialing PEA in these circumstances for it's mast cell stabilising and anti-inflammatory properties. And when a sensitivity to environmental substances is also a factor, combining it with Insect plus Itch Relief is a good idea. If you give both for 12 weeks and then let us know how things are going, we can advise further if necessary. Both these supplements are safe to give alongside any medication prescribed by your vet.

There is no evidence that supplementing with PEA long term causes any ill-effects. It can therefore be given for as long as it is delivering health benefits. 

Hi Susan, have replied by email. Kind regards, Vince

Hi Sarah, yes PEA can be given long-term as long as it continues to deliver benefits, as there is no evidence to the contrary. Whenever a dog displays strange respiratory signs it is advisable to screen for intestinal worms and lungworm using this kit if it has not been done in the last 3 months. I hope this helps and do keep us posted on how you get on.

Hi Jade, you're little girl would only need around a quarter of a capsule daily. The 2 ends of the capsule easily slide apart so the powder can be mixed in food. (PEA is extremely safe and so there's no need to worry about giving slightly more.) If you let us know how things are going in 12 weeks time, we can advise further if necessary.

No, this isn't necessary with our PEA, given the remarkable benefits seen in more than 10,000 pets over the last 2 years - as attested by the testimonials on our Facebook page and website.

There are no other ingredients, the powder / granules in the capsules are 100% pure palmitoylethanolamide. The vegetarian capsules are made from plant derived Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. If preferred the ends can be slid apart and the powdered PEA mixed into food.

PEA can safely be continued indefinitely, for as long as it is beneficial. 

PEA works differently to drugs used to improve cerebral blood flow. It's neuroprotective properties help to maintain normal neurological function. Given alongside pure, organic coconut oil, both help to preserve cognitive abilities and mental awareness as pets age as described here. Both of these are safe to give with any medication prescribed by your vet.

Hi Jilly, no it wouldn't. 

Our PEA is manufactured to our unique specifications from a natural plant extract, solely for Vince the Vet, and is not related to any other product on the market. As with all our products it is made from only the finest quality human food grade ingredients which meet the highest regulatory requirements. If you are looking to provide the best possible musculoskeletal requirements the best option would be Ultimate Joint Support  for the reasons explained here. For proof of efficacy, simply take a look at the 100's of testimonials on this website and our Facebook page.

The best option in these circumstances is Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here. And when giving these 3 supplements there is no need for any other joint products. (You can finish off any you still have while making a start on Joints, PEA and Joint Support plus Recuperation.) If you let us know how things are going in 12 week's time, we can advise further if necessary. 

Yess, PEA can be given at any age from weaning onwards. Why is this being considered for such a young dog? 

Increased itching at this time of the year is usually due to exposure to a higher level of seasonal irritants / substances that trigger itching. We've never had any reports of PEA causing such a reaction. Unfortunately, it can take up to 12 weeks for PEA to reach peak effect for some dogs, and so any impact can't be fully gauged until then. Increasing the dose to 3 or 4 capsules daily may help in the meantime, as can giving the Insect plus Itch Relief remedy. (If this is not already being given, it can be started now.) I hope this helps, and if you let us know how things are going in 9 weeks time, we can advise further if necessary. 

There is currently no evidence that PEA supplementation is unsafe for dogs with MCAAD. This is due to the fact that PEA is a long chain fatty acid amide, and is not a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) which is the fat that causes problems in affected animals. As with any supplement, always consult your vet with regards to monitoring for any potential side-effects.

The best option in these circumstances, is Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here. This provides the greatest natural relief of joint discomfort, and support for ease of movement and mobility. If you let us know how things are going in 12 week's time, we can advise further if necessary.

PEA is certainly worth trialing for 12 weeks in these circumstances, for its anti-inflammatory properties, which helps a wide range of eruptions. If you let us know how things are going at the end of this period, we can advise further if necessary. ????

Hi Ros, yes PEA is safe to use alongside any medication prescribed by your vet. 

The dose of PEA can be doubled in circumstances like this, which is often due to reactions caused by spiking pollen counts. (NOTE: it's also important to check for evidence of fleas and other skin parasites.) That said, you may wish to give 3 capsules twice daily for a week first, to see if that proves sufficient. Giving Insect plus Itch Relief alongside PEA can also help to further ease skin irritation at times like this. Do let us know how you get on. 

Hi Alison, this is very encouraging given that it can take up to 12 weeks for PEA to reach peak effect for some dogs, and so there's still room for further improvement. If you're not already giving Insect plus Itch Relief alongside PEA this is worth considering as the remedy also helps to relieve skin irritation. If itching is purely seasonal PEA can be paused during the months when the skin is normally fine. If you'd like to email a photo of your boy to info@vincethevet.co.uk along with a little feedback, we'd love to share these with other pet parents who might find themselves in a similar position. 

Hi, yes it is. We use only the highest quality, human food grade palmitoylethanolamide in our PEA. 2 capsules twice daily suit most people. This can be increased after 12 weeks if there is still room for improvement. Do let us know how you get on. 

Yes, the 2 are fine to use together. An even better option is to replace Yumove with Ultimate Joint Support for the reasons explained here.

PEA is relatively bland and many pets, including cats, take it mixed into any wet food (the capsules easily slide part so the powder can be tipped out). We can't guarantee that a particular cat will accept the PEA as every individual is different. 

Hi, can you email further details to info@vincethevet.co.uk so we can better advise on your options.

Yes, breakthrough itching is common at this time of the year when pollen counts are exceptionally high. Double the PEA and also give Insect plus Itch Relief at the same time to provide additional relief as  outlined here. If you let us know how things are going in 4 week's time, we can advise further if necessary.

Yes, PEA contains no phosphorus. 

Hi, we don't ship to South Africa direct, but many pet parents in your country use a forwarding service like this.
