Q: Hi can the ultimate joint bundle be given to dogs with stage 2 ckd and how long would it last for a 27kilo dog ????

Sue
Q: My working golden retriever has been taking “joints” for 4 years following a carpal joint injury which did heal but has now come back as a front leg limp and overall poor body gait. She is raw fed, always has been and is now 7. She is having acupuncture sessions, started weekly and now monthly but not really improving particularly after off lead exercise. She has arnica 30c regularly and I started CBD oil (I’m a CHC member) so confident with quality and over last three weeks I’ve been increasing drops to now 8 per day, she’s 22kg.
My question is could I introduce PEA alongside the CBD? Thank you.
A: Hi Sue, yes you can. PEA has wider ranging pain-relieving properties than CBD and has proven highly effective at reducing pain intensity, even when other measures have failed. See this study. Do let us know how you get on.

Corinne
Q: My dog has been diagnosed with raised liver enzymes, scan showed nothing particular. Now taking Denamarin.
Is it safe to add joints and Pea? Or could this affect his liver adversely?
Justine
Q: Can you advise on dosage please. My dog only weighs 6Kg (toy poodle) but all good with his organ functioning
A: PEA - half a capsule daily divided between meals (the 2 ends easily slide apart so the powder can be mixed in food. Joints - half a teaspoon daily divided between meals. Joint Support and Recuperation 2- 3 drops twice daily on a teaspoon of fresh food.
Gloria Hall
Q: Do you do a smaller bundle of pea joint
A: Hi, the PEA comes in bottles of 90 capsules, and this is the only size available. For a medium sized dog the dose is one capsule twice daily for 12 weeks and then, if there has been a good response, reduce to half a capsule twice daily to see if this is sufficient for maintenance. Do let us know how you get on. ????

Q: Hi there, my 12 year old border collie has severe arthritis in his right forearm wrist. He's currently on collegen, turmeric nutriquin +.
If I was to buy the bundle would I need to continue with the above alongside the bundle? Tried Librella but have since read the side effects so stopped, didn't see much improvement anyway. Many thanks in advance
A: If you give all 3 products in Ultimate Joint Support you won't need to give collagen or any other joint supplements.
Malcolm harbottle
Q: My westie had cruciate ligament op he as bad arthritis what do you suggest vet prescribed libella
A: Hi Malcom, given the severity of the joint issues described the best option in these circumstances is the Ultimate Joint Support bundle for the reasons explained here. This provides maximum support for joint comfort and mobility. Do let us know how you get on.
diane richard
Q: Would this help my 7 year old rat terrier mix with stage 4 luxating patella. He has trouble walking sometimes.
A: Hi Diane, yes it will. PEA will help to reduce any pain or inflammation present in the affected joint(s). Joints will help the body maintain healthy joint tissues, including cartilage, and improve lubrication of the articular surfaces. Joint Support plus Recuperation aids the natural self-repair mechanisms. All together Ultimate Joint Support will maximise mobility and slow down the degenerative changes which typically occur with this condition.
Jaimi
Q: Hi, my 9 year old Hungarian Vizsla has arthritis in one of her front elbows and I’m seeing stiffness in her back legs now too - although I don’t know if this is overcompensation for the painful elbow. She has had 3 surgical procedures for the elbow but nothing has worked long-term and our vet says they can do no more (except Librella and we’re not going there!)
I give my girl salmon oil and your green-lipped muscle capsules but have recently got her back on Metacam because she’s really limping and had started to show less interest in walks/become less active around the house. My question is with the joint support bundle, could I keep her on the meds? And would I carry on with the salmon oil and GLM as well or would I need to stop these? I also give her milk thistle to support /liver function while on meds. Thanks
A: Hi Jaimi, yes you can give the Ultimate Joint Support supplements alongside any medications prescribed by your vet. And if you give these, GLM is unnecessary as it is superfluous to requirements. A healthier source of omega 3 to support the body's anti-inflammatory pathways is this algal oil from Time Health which is not exposed to all the chemicals, heavy metals and pesticide residues present in the sea as a result of oceanic pollution. Click on this link to learn more. (NOTE: if you enter the code vincethevet15 at the checkout on Time Health's website you will receive a 15% discount.) Our Heart plus Liver Support remedy contains milk thistle extract and can be used to support liver function when long term medication of any kind is being given.

Are the above products suitable for my dog he is currently being treated for protein in his urine it’s only been 4 weeks so he still having tests,my vet has put him on Benefortin but has also recommended Librela injections for stiffness in his back legs he turned 9 in December and is a cocker spaniel,he is not limping and continues to run about as usual so if its arthritis it’s not causing him any bother at the moment,I do not like the sound of the Librela with its side effects so will start him on your products if it’s safe to do so many thanks,
Donna
A: Yes Ultimate Joint Support would be a far safer option for your dog, and for more than 90% of pet parents when giving these supplements there is no need for Librela (which has been shown can adversely kidney function). I hope this helps, and do let us know how you get on.
Matt
Q: Hi, I wa a just wondering how long this will last for a 25kg dog. Also have you got any 2.5% CBD oil I can also add to this?
Sorry for the questions, my lad is 16 now so I kind of get the feeling this is his last roll of the dice, he’s seen a holistic vet for years but the vets become pragmatic and said run Librela with the CBD oil, my bestie had a dog that died four weeks after his first injection..
Thanks people, enjoy the day.
A: Hi Matt, no problem re the questions - that's what we're here for! The Joints 400g tub typically lasts around 6 weeks when giving two and a half teaspoons daily, divided between meals. A bottle of PEA (90 capsules) will last 6 weeks giving one twice daily initially, but can be reduced by half after 12 weeks to see if a lower dose is sufficient for maintenance. And if this is the case a bottle will last 3 months. The Joint Support plus Recuperation remedy usually lasts approximately 6 months when giving 2 - 3 drops 3 times daily on a teaspoon of fresh food (not kibble). Do let us know how you get on. ????

Naomi
Q: Hi,
I am hoping to support our pony 400/500kg who is now 5 months post op from a ligament issue. Her rehab has not been very promising with her resting the leg now and reacting badly to being asked to hack out which may indicate pain. So my question is do you think its any good starting these now? I also cant seem to find a list of ingredients for each product please may I have those. And finally would the doses for ponies/ horses be included on the packaging?
Many thanks
Naomi

The ingredients in each product can be found by scrolling down the page and clicking on the + sign to the right of the heading 'INGREDIENTS' to expand the composition panel.

Betty Rushing
Q: My 17 lb, 12 year old Westie has Spondylosis and recovering from a torn cruciate ligament. She also has allergies. She has been on Joint Support and Recuperation and has done really well (also on Gabapentin). I'm looking at the bundle with PEA, Joints and the Joint Support - but financially it's difficult. If I could only afford two of the products, which would you recomment? Thank you!
A: Hi, given the recent injury, Joints would be the better option, as this provides a rich supply of nutrients to support musculoskeletal tissue regeneration and repair. Do let us know how you get on.
Bella Riley-Marsh
Q: Hello is this ok for dogs with stage 1 kidney disease . My dog is 12 years old and suffers with arthritis.
A: Yes, this bundle is safe to use as part of a diet designed to maintain kidney function. For further guidance on this click here.
My dog has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in his front leg, it created a limp which was so bad we had to go to the vets and get prescribed M*t*c*m which we wanted to avoid but felt defeated. We had for a number of years used other joint products which were clearly not continuing to work so after a lot of research I found VTV products and contacted Vince to get some advice on what would be best. He advised that the trio of joint supplements shown here would be the best to try. Well......what can i say, 3 weeks later and the limp has gone and it appears he is pain free. It has given my Beagledor a new lease of life without the use of pharmaceuticals. Thank you so much for your quick replies and help in making my boy feel 5 years younger. We are also adding in immunity as he has lots of fatty lumps and warts. Thank you so much again, you have truly made a remarkable product here.
