PEA - THE KIDNEY-FRIENDLY STIFFNESS SUPPLEMENT FOR PETS WITH RENAL DYSFUNCTION

NSAID's (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are a no-no for stiff pets with renal disease because they risk causing further damage to already compromised kidney tissue.

Collagen supplements high in protein can place an excessive strain on struggling kidneys, unless carefully factored into a tailored diet designed to help maintain renal function without causing an increase in Urea, Creatinine and other waste products in the blood, and a worsening of signs associated with kidney failure.

PEA on the other hand, is highly effective at easing stiff joints and is 100% safe for kidney compromised dogs and cats, making it the perfect first choice for improving quality of life in these circumstances.

TIME TO SWITCH FROM FISH AND FLAXSEED OIL?

For many years we've been great advocates of adding salmon oil to the diet - as long as:it originated from wild not farmed fish (who are inevitably of poorer quality and contaminated with drug residues of various kinds) these were caught in the relatively clean waters of Alaska or Icelandthe oil…

PUTTING YOUR PET'S DIET TO THE TEST

Nutritional deficiencies can manifest in a number of different ways, many of which can be subtle to begin with, and difficult to spot until the start to cause major problems.

These can include:

SKIN AND / OR COAT CHANGES:
- dry, flaky skin
- hair loss or thinning coat
- dull, brittle, matted or tangled fur
- cracked paw pads or swollen paws


DIGESTIVE ISSUES:
- sloppy stools or constipation
- reduced appetite
- gut microbiome disturbances

BEHAVIOURAL CHANGES:
- lethargy or low energy
- excessive irritability or unusual aggression
- anxiety or nervousness
- changes in mood or temperament

MUSCULOSKELETAL PROBLEMS:
- stiffness or difficulty walking
- weak bones or fractures
- muscle wasting or weakness

DENTAL / ORAL ISSUES:
- bad breath
- gum inflammation or bleeding
- tooth decay or enamel loss

IMMUNE SYSTEM WEAKNESS:
- frequent infections or slow healing wounds
- chronic ear / skin infections

EYES:
- cloudy or dull eyes

CARDIOVASCULAR ISSUES:
- pale gums or lethargy
- irregular heartbeat
- bleeding or bruising easily

ABNORMAL GROWTH IN YOUNG PETS:
- slow or stunted growth
- delayed or improper bone development

SLOW RECOVERY FROM ILLNESS OR SURGERY:
- poor wound healing or recovery time
- reduced resistance to infections

Given how easy it is to miss these and other signs that a diet may not be meeting all nutritional needs, a simple way of finding out if this is the case for your pet is to enrich the food being fed with Vitality for several months and observe what effect this has.

PUTTING YOUR PET'S DIET TO THE TEST:

Add Vitality (an easy to digest source of more than 60 vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, fatty acids and other important nutrients) to your pet's diet for 12 weeks, to see what difference this makes to your dog or cat's overall health and well-being.

And if any benefits are seen, it is proof that the diet previously being fed was missing elements essential for optimum health - and confirms it would be beneficial to continue supplementing with Vitality long term.

A SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE HOMEMADE ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION

Maintaining hydration is vital whenever a pet loses body fluids excessively, for any reason, whether this be during hot weather, or following a bout of vomiting, diarrhoea or strenuous activity.

Continually replenishing fluids in such circumstances is especially important for young and older pets, who can quickly become dehydrated and ill. And this is where a homemade electrolyte solution can be invaluable.

RECIPE

- ½ litre of boiled water (cooled to room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons of maple syrup (provides natural sugars and energy, with a gentler glycemic index than honey)
- ⅓ teaspoon of low-sodium salt e.g. LoSalt (a mix of sodium and potassium, essential for hydration and electrolyte balance)
- ½ teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (for acidity and additional health benefits, including digestive support)
- ¼ teaspoon of baking soda (optional) for pH balance

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Boil ½ litre of water and let it cool to room temperature. This is important to kill any microorganisms present.

2. Stir in 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, which provides a natural source of sugar for quick energy and help the body absorb the electrolytes.

3. Mix in ⅓ teaspoon of low-sodium salt (such as LoSalt, for example). This will help restore sodium and potassium levels, which are essential for fluid balance.

4. Add ½ teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to provide the necessary acidity to mimic the natural electrolytes in body fluids.

5. Add ¼ teaspoon of baking soda (optional) . This can help neutralise any potential metabolic acidosis from dehydration and assist in pH balance.

6. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are fully dissolved in the water.

7. Offer small amounts of the solution to your dog throughout the day.

This recipe creates a balanced and safe electrolyte solution that’s easy to prepare and supports hydration whenever the need arises.

NOTE:

Also be sure to keep your dog indoors, and somewhere cool between 06:00am and 21:00pm on hot days, to avoid risking heat stress or burned paws.

NOTE

If you pet suffers from any medical conditions, consult your vet first before using this or any other rehydration solution.

FLYNN FUN! 😂😂

We'd like to think that Flynn is celebrating the successful submission of his stool sample for screening using our intestinal and lungworm kit! But, if truth be told, what better way to enjoy summer and stay cool in the heat than playing catch with a fiendishly difficult-to-grab jet of cold water! 😀💓

GRACIE'S BRAIN TUMOUR, SUPPLEMENTS AND FENBENDAZOLE

In July 2024 Gracie, a seven and a half year old Border Collie began having seizures.

MRI revealed a large, extra axial mass in left frontal / temporal region.

The growth was removed in October 2024 at Liverpool Small Animal Hospital and was confirmed to be a meningioma - a benign growth arising from the tissues that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Radiation therapy began and was continued into December 2024.

(An average survival time of ~18 months has been reported in dogs with meningioma treated with surgery in combination with radiation therapy.

Gracie's Mum contacted us in March 2025 to ask for an anti-cancer support regime with the aim of helping to maintain quality of life for as long as possible.

Following a review of all medical records and an online consultation the following supplements were introduced alongside her medication (Phenobarbital, Levetiracetam, Prednisolone and Paracetamol).

1. Time Health Algal oil ( https://www.timehealth.co.uk/product/vegan-omega3/?attribute_pa_size=120-capsule-bottle ) - to replace all oils and fish products (the code vincethevet15 was used at the checkout on Time Health's website to gain 15% discount).

2. Organic Milk Thistle

3. Vitality ( https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/single/vitality---small-200g ) - to provide a rich supply of organic micronutrients vital for tissue regeneration and repair, plus optimum cellular health and well-being.

4. Fenbendazole ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fenbendazole-Fenben-Lab-Certificate-Laboratory/dp/B08286RR1K/ ) for its anti-cancer properties

After 8 weeks Sarah noted:

- the diet seems to be suiting her well
- the flaky, scurvy skin was much improved
- great energy levels.

The next step was to introduce:

5. Immunity ( https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/single/immunity---small-200g ) - to support the immune system and body's natural defences.

6. Digestion ( https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/single/digestion---small-400g ) plus Time Health Bio Cultures ( https://www.timehealth.co.uk/product/bio-cultures-digestive-support-55-billion-cfu-advanced-multi-strain-complex/ ) daily, to boost the gut microbiome, which in turn supports a strong, healthy immune system.

To date Gracie remains very well and clinically normal, even as much of the medication she was on has been significantly reduced - which is extremely encouraging at this stage!

Keep an eye out for future updates. 😀👍

ALERT!

Dogs and cats throughout the UK have been flooding our inbox with reports of a rather disturbing trend.

It appears, that supplies of their much treasured Vince the Vet PEA (more correctly described as palmitoylethanolamide - to distinguish it from the completely unrelated little green vegetable that in many, encourages flatulence) have been disappearing in the dead of night.

Several weeks ago, the mystery deepened, when an intrepid group of investigators (rumoured to be ex-sniffer dogs) looking for clues, accidently came across a hastily disposed of crumpled sheet in a wastepaper basket, which looked perfect for a quick game of shred-and-scatter-all-over-the-house. As luck would have it, one eagle-eyed pooch, pouncing qu**ky on a strip torn off by an embarrassingly excited Retriever, spotted the headline "Palmitoylethanolamide in the Treatment of Chronic Pain Caused by Different Etiopathogenesis." WOOF! Everyone stood still! WOOF again, this time with a paw pointing at what would be the much sought after breakthrough!

A bit of nifty work on the computer, and the article (the details of which we've sworn not to divulge here, in case it gets into the wrong hands), was swiftly tracked down online. And thereby the reason for the vanishing PEA became clear.

An underground network of pet parents suffering from chronic pain which wasn't being controlled by standard measures, had been sharing the results of a large trial of PEA for people, which gave significant relief to all who participated within a relatively short space of time.

Mystery of the Disappearing PEA solved!

We would like to thank these ingenious pets for getting to the bottom of what for many dogs and cats was becoming a very unsettling phenomenon.

We would also like to urge all pet parents with aches and pains, who are tempted to dip into their pets supply, to resist this urge and BUY YOUR OWN!

This is a public information announcement by Vince the Vet on behalf of UK pets. 😀👍

WE ALWAYS KNEW IT - VINCE THE VET JOINTS WAS 14 YEARS AHEAD OF THE GAME! 😀 (And still is!)

When Joints was formulated 14 years ago we knew from solid clinical experience in both clinical veterinary practice, and time spent specialising in orthopaedics, that hydrolysed bovine collagen had to be one of the ingredients in our unique veterinary formula blend. And since then, many thousands of pet parents have confirmed the often dramatic difference this has made to their dogs and cats lives.

It's immensely gratifying to see, that trials like the one below are now confirming what we knew all along!

We're not allowed by the powers that be to fully describe the benefits that Joints delivers to dogs and cats, but for anyone interested in learning more this study is a useful place to start.

And remember, Joints supplies much more than BCP alone. The addition of hyaluronic acid, bromelain and kelp takes the joint care Joints provides to a whole new level!

PS Ultimate Joint Support is light years ahead of any other joint comfort and care support available. 😉 ( https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/joint-health/ultimate-joint-support---large )

Our Story

Being a vet isn't for everyone, but from the age of six, following the tragic death of a much-loved feline friend, I never wanted to be anything else.

17 years later, I left Liverpool University a fully fledged MRCVS, with a BVSc, a Cheshire Cat smile, and a faint disbelief that any of it was real!

First stop was the post of veterinary surgeon at the PDSA in Manchester, where for 3 years I specialised in orthopaedics.

Next, in 1987, came setting up my own practice (The Albany Veterinary Clinic) in Stockport, which over the next 14 years became a multivet centre of excellence, providing the very best possible pet care. It was during this time that the search for natural solutions began, which could change the lives of many of the dogs and cats we were seeing, that conventional treatment couldn’t help.
