Does your dog or cat have a nose wrinkling smell coming from their mouth? Here are the steps to take to tackle this common problem
- Have your pet checked over by a vet to rule out dental disease or problems with the kidneys, liver and other internal organs. This is really important, as infections around teeth or underlying health problems left untreated can lead to serious health problems later on.
- If the mouth is healthy (or after the appropriate dentistry has been carried out), the next step is to support the development of a healthier gut microbiome, as very often smelly breath is caused by a disturbance in digestion which results in fermentation of food and the release of unpleasant gas (similar to that from a compost heap).
To do this give a good probiotic daily (see our full range Probiotics for Pets) and a digestive supplement such as Vince the Vet Digestion. The probiotic supplies large numbers of beneficial bowel bacteria, and Vince the Vet Digestion feeds them to help re-populate

What support can you give your pet following dental extractions....
When teeth are removed under a general anaesthetic, the body first has to cope with the:
- drugs used
- bacteria and other microorganisms which enter the bloodstream at the extraction site(s) as surgery is carried out, and also afterwards until the gums and other tissues are fully healed
Natural support during the post-operative period (7 - 14 days) helps to ensure a rapid return to full health. This can be provided as follows:
- Give 2 - 3 drops of Vince The Vet Joints plus Recuperation 3 times daily starting 48 hours beforehand if possible, and continuing for 2 weeks after surgery. This soothes sore gums, periodontal structures and bone, and aids tissue regeneration and repair. The remedy can then be used whenever an injury, accident or musculoskeletal issue of any kind occurs.
- Alongside the above remedy, also give 2 -3 drops of Vince The Vet Detoxification Support 3 times daily for 2 weeks (both remedies can be given on

Eating grass is a common behaviour in dogs and cats, and there's no doubt that the occasional nibble is quite normal. When this becomes habitual, compulsive or excessive however, there is usually an underlying reason which needs addressing if this is to be resolved.
In Vince The Vets experience, the commonest causes of this, and measures which most often help are as follows:
1. Gut Flora (Microbiome) Disturbances
Healthy bowels are home to a dynamic array of beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms, which assist in the breakdown of food and the assimilation of the nutrients present.
Disturbances can arise as a result of early life experiences which adversely affect the development of a healthy bowel bacteria population, or subsequent damage to the gut microbiome caused by environmental and dietary chemicals, toxins, drugs such as antibiotics, food additives and other factors.
Signs when this is the case typically include:
- soft or sloppy stools
- excessive wind
- bad breath
- recurrent

Does your pet suffer from:- recurrent ear problems, inflamed, smelly feet, an itchy bottom, anal sac irritations or thrush in the mouth, nose, gut or genital tract? Tried all sorts of potions, lotions, creams, powders and sprays but still having problems? Yeasts are likely to be involved.
Overgrowth
Yeasts are micro-organisms often found on the skin and in the bowels of dogs and cats. Under normal circumstances, they form part of a living layer of microorganisms (otherwise know as the 'microbiome') which coats the surface of the skin and the lining of the gut, lungs, nasal chambers and genital tract.
When this biological barrier is healthy and the bacteria, yeasts, fungi and other organisms that comprise it are in balance, it is an important defence mechanism which helps to protect the body against harmful, foreign invaders.
If however, the microbiome is damaged or disrupted in some way (by a drug, for example) the yeasts present can multiply out of control and irritate, inflame and

Vitality by Vince the Vet is clinically proven to be a life-changing supplement for your pet. Why is it so life changing, we hear you asking... Well, here are 10 reasons why you should give your pet this amazing supplement:
Soil Depletion:
Mass produced food today provides only a fraction of the nutrients it did 100 years ago. This is at a time when pets need a richer supply in their diet than ever before, to combat the ill-effects of environmental pollution and stress.
Vitality provides many of the nutrients the body needs every day, which a pet may not be getting from their diet.
Intensive farming has many disadvantages including the overuse of arable land. It also uses chemical fertilisers that block nutrient absorption and encourages the rapidly growing crops and livestock which are less nutrient dense (known as 'fast food'). This all leads to the fall in the nutrient content of food. None of the ingredients in Vitality come from intensive farming, they all come from the best farmers
