REGULAR WHOLE BODY CLEANSING REDUCES THE RISK OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICAL DAMAGE TO INTERNAL ORGANS, TISSUES AND CELLS & ALSO REDUCES THE RISK OF CANCER.
Can also be used for the first week in every month as part of a natural worm control regime.
Trialling single protein raw or cooked meats for several weeks, one at a time, is the gold standard method for identifying which one, if any, suits a pet with diet-related gut and / or skin inflammation. It's essential however, if the results are to be accurate and actionable, that nothing else…

As if by coincidence(!) 2 weeks after we received the letter alluded to in the post below, the VMD (Veterinary Medicines Directorate) has been in touch with the aim of forcing the removal of one of our dietary supplements.
And the reason for this?
Despite the fact that it is a food extract, designed to maintain health in various ways as a feed supplement, the VMD contends because it positively influences how the body works - it is categorised a 'functional medicine' which (surprise surprise) needs marketing authorisation as a 'veterinary medicine' if it is to be continued to be sold.
'Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food.' Hippocrates
The flaw in this reasoning, is that ALL food affects a pet's physiology depending on the nutrients supplied and the prevailing level of health of the individual consuming it.
As such, all forms of nourishment, whether this be in the form of foodstuffs, natural supplements or food extracts could from this perspective, be considered to be functional medicines - which the VMD could classify as such, and enforce the regulation of, should they see fit.
And having the power to unilaterally declare this at any time, without any forum for prior discussion or debate, means that the VMD can suddenly deprive, without warning, pet parents of the option of choosing an effective natural dietary supplement which is proving to be highly effective at supporting their dogs and cats health.
This is especially disturbing when the removal of such a product leaves pet parents faced with giving veterinary products that in many cases are known to potentially have significant and serious side-effects.
And if the VMD can target any supplement this way, it raises the question, is this government agency being weaponised by big pharma, to attack competitors?

NOT ALL JOINT SUPPLEMENTS ARE THE SAME!
The formulation of a product, the quality and purity of the ingredients, and the expertise that lies behind a supplement, are all vital for the best results.
Vince the Vet excels in each of these areas, which is why it stands head and shoulders above the rest. 👍
Add to your pet's diet, and see for yourself the difference Joints makes within a few weeks - sometimes days.

One of the biggest obstacles to helping an itchy skin, is continuing to feed a diet containing carbohydrates and sugars which fuel inflammation and yeast infections.
And until these are eliminated from the diet (click on the link to see the list of offending foodstuffs commonly found in dog foods and given in the form of tit-bits and treats) they will reduce the effectiveness of natural remedies, including Insect plus Itch Relief, PEA and others, by constantly provoking skin reactions.
For more guidance on this click on the link below.
Carbohydrate / sugar rich diets:Starchy and sugary foods or additives fuel inflammation and the growth of yeasts, which aggravate itching and irritation.As long as these are included in the diet, any skin problems present will be worse.These include:GRAINS - wheat, oats, rice, barley, corn and rye e...

"I started 2 of my dogs on Vince the vet Joints around a month ago, one aged 8 / 9 months (Jack) with hip and elbow dysplasia and one 9 year old (Luna) with a build up of calcite in her shoulder.
They were on the leading UK joint supplement brand, but decided to try this out and the difference its made is unbelievable! 😀
My two other dogs will be going on this as well.
Luna was constantly limping and even more so after going out for a walk / run, she wouldn't want to move for nearly a week afterwards - but now she is not limping at all, and is so much happier.
Jack would always limp on his front elbow for a few days after a run and even before that you could see he was a bit stiff in his elbow and hips. Now he doesn't do any of that. Instead of a limp he walks around with a strut in his step now! 😀
Sometimes following supplementation with PEA and a period of all going well for many months, a sudden increase in itching can occur.
Although it may appear that nothing has changed in daily routine, the home environment or the outside world, the commonest cause of this is exposure to a new seasonal irritant or allergen which triggers skin irritation and inflammation.
When this occurs, the following steps help in many cases:
WHEN IS THE BEST AGE TO START PROTECTING YOUR DOG'S JOINTS?
It is estimated that 80% of dogs over 8 years of age show evidence of degenerative joint disease. To begin with these developments are often restricted to pathological changes in joints and associated musculoskeletal tissues, without obvious signs of stiffness, discomfort or loss of mobility.
This means a dog may look perfectly healthy even while joint function is deteriorating, as:
- joint fluid becomes more like water instead of oil, resulting in poorer lubrication of articular surfaces
- cartilage becomes less hydrated, thinner and more brittle, with a consequent loss of shock absorption and increase in friction during limb movement
- tendons, ligaments and fibrous tissues lose flexibility and become more at risk of sprains, strains and ruptures
- bony changes occur which cause inflammation
Ideally therefore, it is best to start supporting joints when they are still healthy, before any degenerative changes begin. And for many dogs this will be from around 6 YEARS OF AGE ONWARDS.
NOTE
If hip dysplasia, osteochondritis dissecans, elbow dysplasia or a similar condition is diagnosed at any age, supplementation should be started immediately to preserve joint comfort and function for as long as possible.
For working dogs and those involved in agility / competitive sports such as Canicross it is also important to protect joints earlier than for the average pet, due to the increased stress these and similar activities place on joints and associated musculoskeletal tissues.

A QUESTION WE'RE OFTEN ASKED IS...
can Ultimate Joint Support be used alongside any other joint products such as collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, green-lipped mussel and others?
The answer is simple. If you give the 3 supplements in Ultimate Joint Support you won't need to give any other joint product, given that this unique bundle provides the very best joint comfort and care available - without the need for any other supplements.
If your dog starts to bite or lick their feet excessively as soon as the pollen season arrives, or spring grass starts to spurt, give PEA as soon as you can.
PEA helps to maintain a healthy immune system, which is better able to cope successfully with exposure to environmental allergens.
If after 10 - 12 weeks there are still signs of irritation add Time Health's Omega 3 to the regime (use the code vincethevet15 at the checkout to get a 15% discount) along with Vitality and Insect plus Itch Relief remedy , as all 3 further help to reduce immune system sensitivity to allergens.
Maximise your dog or cat's quality of life, with our fully integrated range of specially formulated supplements, remedies and raw, developed in clinical veterinary practice over 25+ years, to provide, proven natural support.

HOUSE DUST MITES ARE THE COMMONEST ALLERGEN FOR ATOPIC DOGS...
which means without help, affected pets are typically itchy and inflamed all year round.
Most of these dogs unfortunately, end up on immunosuppressive drugs such as steroids, Apoquel, Atopica and Cytopoint with all the side effects this entails.
But now, there is a natural alternative - Vince the Vet palmitoylethanolamide (PEA).
PEA has been shown to significantly reduce itching in 2 out of 3 atopic dogs sensitive to House Dust Mites (and a wide range of other environmental allergens) over an 8 - 12 weeks period. And without side-effects.
This means 2 out of 3 dogs currently on Apoquel or other anti-itch drugs could come off medication altogether (or manage on a much reduced dose.)
Start PEA today, and in a few months time you may find you have a much happier, drug free pet.

BANISH FIREWORK SEASON TERRORS
If your pet hates the seemingly endless days of whistles and loud bangs that begin in October, and in many areas continue until the New Year, help is at hand.
Vince the Vet PEA plus the Thunder and Fireworks remedy both act on the calming centres in the brain in different ways to create a more balanced and less reactive central nervous system (CNS). The result? A much calmer and less frightened pet who is better able to tolerate the sounds of fireworks without the stress.
The secret to success is to start giving both natural supplements as early as possible before the firework season kicks off, so they have plenty of time to exert their soothing and relaxing effect when needed.
Bundle Includes:
1 x PEA 400mg x 90 capsules
1 x Thunder and Fireworks 50ml remedy

FABULOUS ARTICLE ABOUT YOGI IN WESTERN MAIL BY LYNNE ALLBUTT....

Despite making a great recovery after rupturing both cruciate ligaments four years ago (and 6 months apart), Yogi (now nearly 15 years young) has recently been having a bit of trouble with arthritis in her knees. Four years on and she still has hydrotherapy with Sue at Four Seasons in Tredegar, which has resulted in ‘great muscle tone’, (the vet’s very words) but she was obviously finding the steps in the garden at the cottage difficult, jumping up on the sofa tricky and was just not her usual cheerful self.
So after a bit of advice from Vince the Vet, she has been taking his Joint Support plus Recuperation and Joint Powder for the last 6 weeks. I have been an impatient ‘paw-rent’ but I have definitely noticed a difference in Yogi’s mobility in the last week or so. Our sniffari’s are getting a little longer and she is much more comfortable when sitting down.

Yogi has recently started his new PEA supplement too. PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) is a natural painkiller that the body naturally produces to cope with pain and inflammation, but if the pain is ‘too much’ then the natural PEA is used up too quickly. I’m hoping the supplement will help Yogi even more and as it ‘reduces pain and swelling in the body’ I a

I’ve had Max on a couple of supplements for a while (did I tell you he’s 14 years 4 months old 🤣🤣) but I have noticed he’s getting a bit stiff and limpy now and again. I had heard good reviews on Vince the Vet Joints (and I love his stuff anyway) so decided I would get a tub and give it a go. Crikey was I shocked 🙈 this is the results 🎉🎉🎉

QUESTIONING THE VETERINARY PROFESSION'S STANCE ON WORMS, FLEAS AND BOOSTERS
"My vet has always pushed an annual subscription for worming and flea tablets, taken monthly and quarterly, plus annual booster injections. It was never really described as an option, but something that every responsible owner would do to protect their dog. I’m coming to believe this is not the case and there may be better solutions - can you outline the options / pros / cons for this kind of thing?"
Dr. Vince
www.vincethevet.co.uk
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.
This led to the study of acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, botanical essences, Ayuveda and other systems of health care, both in the UK and abroad (including USA, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India). The culmination of this research led to the development of unique blends of natural ingredients designed to stimulate and aid the body’s innate ability to adapt and self-repair, as effectively as possible, when given the right nutritional support.
Vince the Vet® Veterinary Formula is the result.
The vision going forward remains the same - to enable pets everywhere to benefit from truly LIFE-CHANGING NUTRITIONAL CARE.
