Our love for PEA! ❤️

ARCHIE MY 11 YEAR OLD WESTIE WAS ON PEA FOR 3 MONTHS - IT WORKED TREMEDOUSLY.

After 3 months I administered 1 PEA tablet a week again this worked well. I've run out of PEA tablets and Archie hasn't had any for a month. I've noticed he has started nibbling his paws and hotspots have appeared all these, symptoms disappeared when he, was on PEA.

Does this mean Archie needs another course of PEA or just 1 tablet a week?

Does he need to be on them for life?

Many thanks, for your kind help.

Best wishes,

Jennie.

*****************************************************************

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 nibbling and hotspots have fully cleared.

Do let us know how Archie gets on!

The quality of Vince the Vet supplements speak for themselves ❤️🐾

"Just wanted to let you know that Rosie had what we think was a partial seizure last week.

She remained conscious and it didn’t progress into a full seizure like it normally would.

She’s been on the PEA since her last seizure in April. Do you think that’s a response to the PEA?

She’s only ever had full blown seizures before so I’m really hoping it has had an effect. She was perfectly fine the next day. I took her to the vets to be checked - but nothing clinically apparent."

**********************************************************************

Palmitoylethanolamide has well-documented neuroprotective properties, which help to maintain a healthy nervous system. It has also been shown to reduce seizure frequency and severity in animal models of epilepsy and acute seizures. As such, it is likely that Rosie has benefited significantly from supplementation with PEA.

🌿 Holistic care isn’t about choosing one path over another—it’s about seeing the *whole* picture: body, mind, environment, and lifestyle.

It’s about digging deeper to find the root cause, not just masking symptoms. It’s about real food, natural immune support, and giving our animals the tools they need to heal—because they *were designed* to heal.

That doesn’t mean anti-vet. Far from it. Conventional veterinary care absolutely has its place—especially in emergencies, trauma, surgery, and diagnostics. But when it comes to chronic issues, lingering imbalances, or the “something just feels off” moments… holistic care can offer a gentler, more sustainable path forward.

In a world full of quick fixes and long-term side effects, holistic care invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and support the body’s natural wisdom.

💚 Holistic care is not anti-vet.
💚 We’re *pro-root cause*.
💚 We’re *pro-informed choice*.
💚 We’re *pro-empowered pet parent*.

Because when we know better—we do better. 🐾

VINCE THE VET – 14 YEARS AHEAD OF THE GAME 😄 SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!

When Vince the Vet created Joints over 14 years ago, it was based on extensive clinical experience in veterinary practice and orthopaedics. That’s why hydrolysed bovine collagen was included from day one—long before it became a popular ingredient in joint supplements.

Since then, thousands of pet parents have shared how this unique veterinary formula has made a dramatic difference to their dogs’ and cats’ mobility and comfort.

Now, studies like the one below are finally catching up—validating what Vince the Vet knew all along.

What sets Joints apart? It’s not just about collagen. Hyaluronic acid, bromelain, and kelp are carefully included to provide multi-layered support for joint health—taking comfort and care to a whole new level.

We understand the importance of maintaining your pet's joint health. That's why we offer a range of high-quality joint care supplements that are specially formulated to support your pet's mobility, reduce inflammation and decrease related pain.

We get this question a lot! “Should we neuter our male dog or not?”

Here is a summary of considerations before making such a big decision from very own holistic vet Dr Vince.

**Neutering Your Young Male - here is What You Should Know 🐾**

If you have a 1- to 3-year-old male dog who’s suddenly stopped listening, acting out, or seems overly distracted, you’re *not alone*. This is a tough age—kind of like the teenage phase for dogs—and hormones play a big role.

Before making the big (and irreversible) decision to neuter, here are some things to consider:

🔸 **Neutering isn’t a quick fix** — It can help some dogs, but not all. For a small percentage, strong hormonal drives can be eased this way.
🔸 **Training matters most** — Consistent, reward-based training is key at this age, whether your dog is neutered or not.
🔸 **Diet affects behavior** — Just like in kids, sugars and additives can make dogs more hyper and unfocused. A raw or home-cooked diet may improve behavior enough that surgery isn’t needed.
🔸 **There’s a test run option** — A temporary hormone blocker lets you see how neutering *might* affect your dog’s behavior—without committing to surgery right away.
🔸 **Timing is crucial** — Neutering large breeds too early (before 24-30 months) can lead to joint problems down the line.
🔸 **Don’t forget post-op care** — Neutered dogs usually need fewer calories to avoid weight gain.

🎯 Bottom line: Don’t rush into neutering. Take time to assess your dog’s training, diet, and development stage. Talk to your vet, consider all the options (including hormone trials), and make a choice that’s right for *your* dog.

🐕‍🦺 Every pup is different, and a thoughtful approach leads to happier, healthier dogs in the long run.

🩸🐾 **Raw-Fed Dogs & Bloodwork: What’s Normal?** 🥩🧬

Ever had your raw-fed dog’s bloodwork come back with “high” values? Don’t panic—this is often *expected* and totally normal for dogs on a well-balanced raw diet. Here’s a quick breakdown 👇

🔬 **Common Bloodwork Differences in Raw-Fed Dogs:**

✅ **Higher Hematocrit (PCV)** – More red blood cells = better oxygen delivery. Often \~52% in raw-fed dogs vs. \~47% in kibble-fed.

✅ **Elevated BUN** – Comes from more real protein, not kidney issues. Raw-fed dogs typically show 18–22 mg/dL.

✅ **Slightly Higher Creatinine** – Linked to lean muscle mass, not illness.

💡 These numbers may look “off” on standard lab ranges, but they’re often signs of a *healthy* raw-fed pup!

👩‍⚕️ **Important**: Many lab ranges are based on kibble-fed dogs. If your vet isn’t familiar with raw feeding, they might misinterpret results. Always consider diet context and clinical signs.

📈 Tip: Track your dog’s bloodwork over time and work with a vet who understands raw feeding.

Whilst vets are increasingly promoting raw feeding, some vets are unfortunately still 'anti-raw' mainly because they know little to none about raw feeding and have only learnt about feeding dry food during study.
