WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE PAWABLE COLLAGEN A MISS

We've never publicly commented on another company's joint product before, but by including Vince the Vet Joints in a post they've put out today, and trying to make out that their collagen is better for supporting optimum joint health, we feel compelled to put the record right.

Firstly they claim that collagen is the new ingredient in the joint supplement world. Not true! Vince the Vet Joints has contained hydrolysed collagen since it was first launched in 2014.

Secondly, although great emphasis is placed on the importance of collagen supplementation as a way of supporting optimum health (which is not surprising since their product contains this one ingredient and nothing else), collagen is just one part of the puzzle when looking to provide MAXIMUM joint comfort, care and mobility.

And if they had 40 years expertise in clinical veterinary practice, successfully helping around 100,000 pets and time spent specialising in orthopaedic surgery they would know this.

Hyaluronic acid for example, is vital for maintaining cartilage integrity, hydration, elasticity and 'shock' absorption. It is also essential for forming healthy synovial fluid (joint 'oil') which lubricates joints and maximises ease of movement.

(In older dogs as they stiffen up, synovial fluid tends to become more watery and less effective at helping the articular cartilages move easily over each other - hyaluronic acid helps this joint fluid to remain thicker - like engine oil - and much better at allowing pain-free use of the limbs).

A wide range of specific micronutrients are important for the optimum cellular functioning of the different musculoskeletal and immune system cells responsible for forming, repairing and maintaining healthy joint tissues, and many of these are supplied by the inclusion of kelp.

Bromelain has natural discomfort easing properties to help joints and associated structures feel more comfortable.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) has natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties which naturally reduce pain and inflammation without side-effects.

The synergistic combination of 9 botanical and mineral extracts in Joint Support and Recuperation aid the body's natural regenerative and self-repair processes to further reduce discomfort, maintain healthy joint tissues and aid ease of movement.

The combination of all 3 supplements provide the best possible comfort, care and mobility available bar none. 👍

Also worth knowing is that algal omega 3 given alongside Ultimate Joint Support is beneficial for the body's anti-inflammatory pathways (nerves and immune cells) and a whole egg added to the diet provides the amino acids for the body to form ALL types of collagen including I, II, III, V and X.

PEA's ability to reduce inflammation in nerves (and other tissues) means it can provide invaluable natural support to the body which helps aid recovery whenever there is damage caused to central (in the brain and spinal cord) or peripheral nerves as occurs with:

- spinal trauma
- Intervertebral disc disease
- Spondylitis
- Chiari-like malformation and Syringomyelia

Pikey-boy's progress is a great example of this.

X-rays in August 2024 showed damage to his spine with pressure on the spinal cord. The cause was most likely to have been from repeated beatings before he turned up at Deborah's home 5 years ago after being dumped along with 30 other working dogs 6 kms away.

"Pikey-boy is still doing exceptional on PEA, Joints and Joint Support plus Recuperation remedy (all of these are in the Ulimate Joint Support bundle).

I have kept him on 2 x PEA twice a day.

He is still running around, chasing guinea fowl, and the top of his rear paws still don't scrape when he walks.

And no incontinence.

A few months ago I never thought it would he would still be with us to welcome in 2025. Thank you!"

Deborah Thiele

NOTE: PEA can be given as a preventative measure whenever nerve injury is a possibility to limit the severity of signs should this occur.

THE DANGERS OF LIBRELA AND HOW TO AVOID THIS DRUG

(A timely reminder - to read online click here: >>> https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/blog/the-dangers-of-librela-and-how-to-avoid-this-drug )

Librela is still a relatively new, genetically modified monoclonal antibody (otherwise known as anti-NGF) which blocks the action of Nerve Growth Factor in the body.

While this has been shown to reduce pain perception in arthritic joints, it can also cause wide-ranging disruptions of the sympathetic nerve system and immune cells which can lead to serious and sometimes fatal reactions in sensitive pets.

1. Side-effects so far confirmed by Zoetis:

Librela - Canadian package insert version October 17, 2022: >>https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00068289.PDF

Librela - Freedom of Information Summary (FDA date of approval May 5, 2023): >>> https://animaldrugsatfda.fda.gov/adafda/app/search/public/document/downloadFoi/13959

• Anorexia

• Ataxia

• Bacterial skin infection

• Death

• Dermatitis

• Diarrhoea

• Emesis

• Erythema or pain at injection site

• Haemolytic anaemia

• Increased blood urea nitrogen

• Lethargy

• Polydipsia

• Polyuria

• Renal and urinary tract disorders

• Seizure

• Thrombocytopenia

• Urinary incontinence

• Urinary tract infection

In addition to these, many additional adverse events are being reported by pet parents globally, which also need careful consideration.

2. The discontinuation of all human anti-NGF trials due to toxicity concerns:

See Raylumis, Tanezumab and Regeneron, which indicate the potential harm Librela may cause given it belongs to the same class of drugs.

3. Mounting evidence which shows that NGF is involved in the regulation of numerous bodily functions vital for continued health:

Nerve Growth Factor Signalling, Neuroprotection, and Neural Repair: >>> https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev.neuro.24.1.1217

5. An increased risk of rapidly progressive osteoarthritis:

6. Lack of information regarding the effect of anti-NFG on overall health - which is likely to be the case for some time given the use of Librela is still in its infancy.

7. There is no 'antidote' which means if serious side effects develop, they will persist for as long as a disruptive level remains in the system.*

The points raised above indicate why it's so important to trial Ultimate Joint Support, plus additional measures if necessary, such as acupuncture, McTimoney Chiropractic and hydrotherapy before considering Librela - which given the risks involved, should only be used as a last resort when there is no other viable alternative.

DOES YOUR DOG SUFFER FROM SEASONAL ALLERGIES?

PEA successfully reduces itching in 2 out of 3 dogs sensitive to environmental allergens - including grasses, trees, flowers and pollen.

And when this works for a particular pet, drugs with serious side effects are often unnecessary.

It can however, take up to 12 weeks for PEA to reach peak effect for some dogs with allergies, which is why it is best to start supplementing now - well ahead of the allergy season.

LEAKY BLADDER

No natural product is effective for every dog, but feedback like this (received today) for Kidney plus Bladder Support is not uncommon.

The upside is that if a remedy does help, it means either a smaller dose of drugs can be given to achieve the desired effect, and in some circumstances none at all. And this is why Vince the Vet Veterinary Formula natural support is always worth trying.

"I have a 8 year old Vizsla who was left urinary incontinent after a minor bladder procedure at a referral vets.

She was subsequently put on Propalin.

The Propalin worked but she would at least once or twice a week have an accident in the house.

I consulted a nutritionist regarding her diet and she suggested trying this for urinary support.

I have been shocked at how effective this supplement has been.

She is still on Propalin but at a really low dose and I can’t remember the last time she had an accident.

A supplement that actually works. I noticed a difference after 4 - 6 weeks of usage.

Would recommended and will continue to use. Thank you!"

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR PET'S HEALTH TO IMPROVE IN 2025?

27/12/2024

LOOKING FOR A JOINT SUPPLEMENT WHICH IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN ANYTHING YOU'VE TRIED BEFORE?

If so, you've likely come across adverts for a 'new' ingredient on the market called collagen.

As exciting as this might sound, it simply isn't true.

Collagen has been an essential component of Vince the Vet 'Joints' for more than10 years.

As important as hydrolysed collagen is however, for supporting muscles, tendons, ligaments, fibrous tissues and bones it does little for cartilage, joint lubricating 'oil' (synovial fluid) and the cellular functioning of all the tissues responsible for forming the healthiest possible joints.

And this is why hyaluronic acid, kelp and bromelain are also included in our VETERINARY FORMULA 'Joint's to create a unique, quadruple action formulation which:

- nourishes the ENTIRE musculoskeletal system

- maintains articular cartilage hydration and elasticity (essential for good 'shock' absorption)

- aids the formation high quality lubricating fluid to aid pain-free movement

- supports MAXIMUM MOBILITY and FLEXIBILITY

And this is why 90% plus of pet parents report seeing a much happier and more mobile, active and playful dog within a few weeks, sometimes days - even when other products have been tried without much success.

It's also not uncommon for posture to improve, energy levels to increase and a desire to exercise return, along with puppy-like behaviour.

Rapidly growing puppies of medium, large and giant sized dogs also benefit too, as Joints supports healthy growth and muscle development.

And if skeletal structures suffer from any kind of injury, such as a damaged cruciate ligament, Joints provides exceptional nutritional support during the convalescent period to aid the body's natural regenerative and repair process, and encourage a rapid return to full health.

"POOR ROSIE HAS BEEN ON STEROIDS SINCE 2021...

and since taking PEA the improvement in her skin is incredible!

she is growing her fur back after years of bald, sore patches despite being on prednisolone 5mg daily or every other day.

Thank you so much for PEA."
Jo

As Rosie's vet is not helping with the next stage - which is tapering the dose of steroid to see if it is still needed or not - we are advising on how to best do this. Watch this space!

OTHER BENEFITS SEEN

"Rosie was diagnosed with Lumbar Spondylosis in August this year and we have noticed if we accidentally lift her down to the ground too hard she immediately goes to scratch one spot. Or if she wobbles on her lead then she scratches one spot just above her thigh. We are thinking this may be pain as opposed to a proper itch. We noticed that PEA has also really helped her with the pain she was originally in.

Thanks so much"

"MY CAT HAS FELINE HYPERESTHEISA...

Micro PEA is a game changer for her. "

Kathryn

Learn more here >>> https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/single/pea-palmitoylethanolamide-400mg-x-90-capsules

NOTE

Feline hyperesthesia is a condition in cats characterized by unusually heightened sensitivity, particularly along the back and tail.

Signs in affected cats can include sudden, intense twitching or rippling of the skin, often accompanied by erratic behaviour such as:

- frantic grooming
- biting the back or tail
- unusual vocalisation

The cause isn't well understood, but it's thought to be neurological.

Managing the condition typically involves reducing stress in the environment, and the use of medication to control the signs.

Given the hugely positive impact of PEA reported by Kathryn however, it is certainly worth trialling as an alternative to drugs to begin with.

"Oh my God Vince, your PEA has worked miracles for me!

I had a coccyx and sacrum removal in my twenties that has caused severe nerve damage.

I live with chronic pain and am totally used to it, but the past 3 - 4 years the nature of it has changed as I have put weight on. I have started to have really intense pain in both groins that can be so bad that I involuntarily scream… it's like an electric shock.

A few months ago just after Buddy (Kerry's dog) started on the PEA, I experienced an escalation of the pain that was so bad it landed me in A & E. I literally couldn’t move and was screaming in pain. I haven’t been like this since my initial accident in 1993! I was prescribed morphine and other hard core meds but nothing would touch it. In the end the doctor gave me diazepam and that allowed me to slightly relax.

So I decided that I’d start taking the PEA as I believe that the majority of my issue is due to inflammation in that area. I know this, as I once did an anti-inflammatory diet and it really helped.

After 3 days I started to feel a decrease in the pain and then after a week I was hardly experiencing anything🙀

It is now 4 months and I cannot tell you how incredible this is… I am virtually pain free! I still cannot believe it and my husband is blown away by the change in me - especially the fact that he is no longer hearing constant screams around the house🙈

I cannot thank you enough for bringing this to me as it has already transformed my life pain wise and I feel so optimistic about getting myself exercising again. I rode my bike last week for the first time in 3 years and it was amazing. I feel like I am getting my life back as cycling and running were my absolute pleasures and I never thought I’d be able to do either again. You never know I could even be running again one day….Viva La PEA!!!"🙌🏻🥳💃

(The suggested amount for people is 2 capsules twice daily for 12 weeks, and then, if there has been a good response, reduced to one capsule twice daily to see if this is sufficient for maintenance.)

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 Iceland
the oil was a by-product of fish used for human consumption and wasn't produced solely for pets
sustainable and environmentally friendly methods were employed throughout the manufacturing process, from ship to shelf
The reason why such supplementation is essential for modern day dogs and cats is twofold:

Firstly, fish oil is a rich source of fatty acids, which are essential for the formation and normal functioning of virtually every part of the body, especially cell membranes and the:

heart
skin
brain
nerves
eyes
glands responsible for hormone production and regulation
And essential fatty acids need to be present in the diet, because dogs are unable to make them for themselves.

(Note, if you are feeding a commercially produced adult dog kibble or wet food, this can still be deficient in fatty acids even if described as 'complete' because there is no legal requirement to include omega 3 when using this marketing term).

Secondly, omega 3 rich oil, helps to counterbalance an excess of omega 6 in the food chain, which many believe is implicated in a number of inflammatory conditions in dogs, such as arthritis and atopic dermatitis.

What's Changed?

The problem now however, is that the rise in oceanic pollution over the last few years has become so widespread, virtually all fish contain harmful substances of one kind or another, including:

heavy metals
herbicide and pesticide residues
'forever' chemicals
To avoid these, and yet still provide a healthy source of biologically active and available omega 3, it's necessary to use an alternative source.

We advise switching to a carefully selected algal oil such as this instead. (Click here to learn more about Time Health's Vegan Omega 3 >>> https://www.timehealth.co.uk/product/vegan-omega3/ - enter vincethevet15 at their checkout to receive a 15% discount.)

Why?

Algae in the ocean, are the source of all omega 3 fatty acids in fish - who like dogs can't manufacture these vital nutrients for themselves, and so obtain what they need from eating these tiny marine plants.

Some strains of these algae, produce especially high levels of omega 3, and as a result of recent advances in supplement manufacturing, these can now be cultivated as a source of pure oil, on a large scale in water tanks on land.

This means:

NO oceanic pollutants in the oil
NO depletion of fish stocks
NO environmental damage
Sustainable production
We recommend this product because of the EPA and DHA it supplies (both are important for maximum health benefits), and the positive feedback received from pet parents. If you enter the code vincethevet15 at checkout, a 15% discount will be applied to your order.

Why Not Flax?

Flaxseed oil is recommended by some as a source of omega 3 fatty acids for dogs because it contains a type of omega 3 found in plants, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).

Dogs however, have a limited ability to convert ALA into the more beneficial forms of omega 3, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are found in fish.

One study, puts this conversion at less than 1%, meaning flaxseed oil is of little value when looking to provide biologically active and effective omega 3 to dogs, to improve health and meet fatty acid nutritional needs.

This contrasts sharply with the algal oil described above, which delivers ready made, ready to go omega 3, which dogs and cats can utilise and benefit from quickly.

PARASITES AND POISONS

Both of these can significantly harm a pet's health if left unaddressed for any length of time.

Screening for intestinal worms every 3 months helps ( using this kit >>> https://www.vincethevet.co.uk/worm-screening/worm-count-and-lungworm-kit-combined ), as it means they can be eliminated quickly if found to be present.

Prevention, as always however, is better than cure, and this is where the Natural Worm Control and Detoxification Support remedy comes in. Just a few drops 3 times daily for the first 7 days in each month supports the body's natural defences in eliminating parasites before they become established.

The same remedy also aids the excretion of toxins, drug residues (from previous anaesthetics and courses of medication), waste products and environmental chemicals which tend to build up in the body over time, causing damage to organs, tissues and cells. As such, regular detoxification is important for maintaining a healthy internal environment and optimum well-being, and to lower the risk of a wide range of diseases developing.
