ness Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I came across this product just before Christmas and I am currently trying it with my young Border Collie who has had a number of intermittent lameness issues. I have had her on other joint supplements previously (both Joint Guard and Glyde) but thought this one sounded interesting after I had read over the website and figured it was worth giving a go. She has been on it for about a fortnight so far so still a little early to tell for sure if its making any appreciable difference to her issues. I just wondered if anybody else has tried it or is aware of the product. http://rosehipvitalcanine.com.au/ Edited January 2, 2013 by ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasels Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 No idea sorry but I really do hope it helps the Kenz-monster :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airedaler Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Have not tried it on the dogs but did use it myself for several months for my arthritis without any improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks for posting a comment re your own experience airedaler. I think that is one of the hardest things with dogs is they can't actually tell you either way whether its helping (even slightly) - well at least not directly.

dancinbcs Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I swear by it for my arthritis and have been taking it for about 5 years. Nothing else worked for me. I am now trialing a dog on the canine version but it has been less than a week, so will see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Will be interesting to see how your dog goes on it to dancinbcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trifecta Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Sorry to go off topic, but have you considered turmeric / curcumin? I started to research it when Rogan had cancer, it is a good anti-inflammatory & would be worth looking into, in my opinion. You need to use the high potency tablets for best results & they are quite expensive. I bought mine from a health food shop, but you may be able to find them cheaper online if you are interested in giving them a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdogs Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Got me to thinking that I heard somewhere, possibly on dol, that higher doses of vitC helps arthritis. Maybe why the rosehips give relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I am following the thread to see if there is any noticeable improvement in kenzie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thought I would bump this thread and say while Kenz is still having some issues I do think the product is helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Angus has just finished his first bottle of RHVC and he is definitely happier in himself, more active, his skin has improved more and his digestion problems have finally gone completely. I will be keeping him on it along with the TCM herbs he was already taking for his skin. The combination seems to be working well. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Good news dancinbcs - glad to hear the product is working for Angus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayla1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Bumping this thread to see how the doggies are doing on the rose hip. Also, a question for those using it, does the rose hip replace other joint supplements like glyde or are they given in combination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janba Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I haven't had a dog on it but I take it for my bad knees. It has worked wonders and I no longer wake in the middle of the night in pain and can kneel almost pain free for the first time in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Kenz is still on the product (among other things) for the minute. And as best I can work out its suppose to be instead of things like Glyde although it can also be used in conjunction with any of the others. I do still give fish oil and have had it suggested by the people who sell the RHVC that its worth using in conjunction with fish oil. Kenz's situation is however a little complicated so I am not surprised its not working 100% for her. Edited March 13, 2013 by ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayla1 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks ness. Yes I understand it's a bit hard to tell with Kenzie's issues. I'm nearly out of glyde so might try the rose hip for my older dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 My feedback is also relative to the fact Kenz is still a young and highly active dog and I am still trying to find a way to return her to sound enough to trial. For the moment I have resorted to normal drugs rather than supplements to try and help her along and past where she is currently. I have heard plenty of people who have used it successfully with older dogs. I am actually now about to stick my oldie on it as well so I will let you know how she gets on with the product.
