Much more than just a joint supplement

Unlike other complimentary therapies for joint health, Rose-Hip Vital® Canine is much more than just a joint supplement. It’s anti-inflammatory properties assist with systemic inflammation which help to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain associated with a wide variety of conditions.

The rich natural vitamin C and powerful antioxidant combination provide significant immune system support which helps to discourage the attack on joints, repair damaged tissue and improve general health and wellbeing. Research on humans also indicates Rose-Hip Vital® helps to improve kidney and cardiovascular function while helping to lower blood sugar levels.

100% Plant-based

Unlike other joint supplements, Rose-Hip Vital® Canine does not contain any animal ingredients (including shellfish), yeast, gluten, wheat, dairy, lactose or genetically modified ingredients. Rose-Hip Vital® Canine contains 100% patented Rosehip powder. Nothing else is added.


Safe anti-inflammatory

Research shows Rose-Hip Vital® doesn’t have the potential side-effects of non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and is suitable when there is increased risk from the gastrointestinal or cardiovascular side effects of NSAIDs. Rose-Hip Vital® Canine is well-tolerated and palatable. There are no known contraindications (it can be taken with any other medication or supplement) or negative side-effects.

Cartilage protection

Scientific research shows Rose-Hip Vital® powder protects cartilage. This means it helps to delay the onset of arthritic changes or slow down further cartilage degeneration if it already exists.

GOPO® – A Vital Difference

Thanks to patented extraction and drying processes, Rose-Hip Vital® Canine contains the active compound GOPO® (glycoside of mono and diglycerol).

Some white blood cells contain granulocytes which enable them to ‘clean’ an inflamed joint by destroying the bacteria in it. Too many of these white blood cells wear down tissue cartilage. In large numbers they can also produce chemical enzymes and toxic free-radicals which cause even more tissue damage. Accumulation of white blood cells combined with the release of chemical substances causes joint pain and inflammation. The more inflamed a joint becomes, the more the white blood cells are attracted to it – a painful cycle.

GOPO® discourages large numbers of white blood cells from accumulating in the joint, thereby breaking the cycle of joint inflammation and alleviating pain.

Dosage

For dogs weighing less than 7.5kg

Feeding the recommended dose for dogs weighing up to 15kg may not be necessary.Logic suggests you can halve the dose for dogs up to 7.5kg and expect the same results. We recommend administering the full loading dose if possible until results are noticed and then slowly reduce the dose until a balance between cost and effectiveness is achieved.

NOTE: The more Rose-Hip Vital® Canine your dog eats, the more effective it will be. The appropriate dose might also depend on whether Rose-Hip Vital® Canine is being used to reduce joint pain/inflammation or for prevention of joint issues/wellbeing.

Tips for fussy eaters

If you already know your dog is a fussy eater, we suggest you gradually introduce Rose-Hip Vital Canine. Start with a small pinch of powder and slowly increase to the recommended dose over time. Other tips to get your fussy dog to eat Rose-Hip Vital Canine include mixing it with wet food, mince, sardines, tuna, yoghurt, cottage cheese, milk, raw egg, butter or stock.

For dogs with a history of stomach sensitivity

Introduce Rose-Hip Vital Canine very slowly. Start with a small pinch of powder and gradually increase once tolerance has been established.
