20 Best Supplement For Gastric Ulcers In Horses (2023 Updated)

I started using this on a horse following Omeprazole treatment for ulcers. He responded well to the treatment and I was looking for something to help prevent recurrence and maintain his weight gains.

I consider this basically Tums for horses. He gets a dose with his pellets, licks up every last drop, and there have been no signs so far of stomach issues. This type of product is a bit hard to review though, as it is impossible to know what would have happened if the product had not been used, thus the 4 stars as opposed to 5.

The continued good health of my horse drives my continued use of the product. One container will last quite a while for one horse.

I bought this product so I could get my OTTB off Omeprazole. I have been giving it to him for a few weeks and he seems so much more relaxed and happy. As a side benefit he seems to have completely stopped cribbing.

This horse would crib on everything he could get his teeth on but not anymore.

My horse internalizes stress and anxiety. After I thought about it for a while, I realized his stomach was probably messed up because of the acid that the stress would produce, and that’s why he would get agitated.

I decided to try Ulc-R-Aid to see if it would make a difference and perhaps help him relax. I am pleased to say that it definitely has made a difference. He is more relaxed and happier, which makes me happier too! I will continue feeding Ulc-R-Aid as part of his daily feed routine.

My friend saw my horse’s positive results and has now put his horse on it.

I don’t use the product all the time but when my horses ulcers act up this has always done the trick. It noticeably takes the edge off when used alone or in conjunction with ulcer meds. I like the fact that it has MSM in it as well.

I like buying it from Chewy because Chewy has great pricing and fast shipping.

I’ve been using U 7 for over 6 years and was pleased to see it offered on Chewy for a reasonable price. I have 2 Morgans that are taking it. One is a retired show horse with ulcers and the other came with wind sucking issues when I bought her.

This product has given me a great piece of mind as the horse with ulcers has improved a great deal and seldom shows any signs of stress. The one that sucks wind seems less stressed and I feel reassured that she is being helped by this product.

After looking at several different products with similar ingredients, this one seemed to have what I needed and the price was good. Although it has cabbage powder it seems that my horse needs more then what this product offers.

He is on a double dose of this stuff and I feel he needs a little more. Granted I am treating ulcers he has shown more improvement using straight cabbage powder- 1 tbs, straight licorice root – 1tbs, raw pumpkin seeds – 1/4 cup, chia seeds, 1/4 cup and oat bran 1/4 cup.

Beings this is a hastle to have to mix the U-7 product is a good alternative. If you have a horse that just needs maintenance then this is your product. You will need to feed it twice daily if your horse needs treatment.

Palatability: 5.

My Connemara shows extreme sensitivity to stomach discomfort – becoming severely spooky and having projectile diarrhea meltdowns under stressful conditions, even though he is on pasture 24/7 and doesn’t get fed any concentrated feeds.

Last summer, he was scoped twice and was on daily gastrogard and sucralfate for 10 weeks (ka-ching!). It all helped, but occasional and surprise(!) tummy discomfort was always an issue. I dosed him with ulcergard before, during, and after an outing.

Putting him on Outlast has been a game changer. Not only are the occasional spooky days gone, he is much more relaxed *every single day*. I can now trust him to be a ‘normal’ pony and we can concentrate on our training program.

He has blossomed this summer into a beautiful 2nd level dressage pony and is so proud of himself after our rides. Thanks Purina! I would love to put an Outlast banner and/or literature at my stalls at shows.

I use this Purina Outlast Gastric Support; mainly for my High Energy Stallion, who acts like a Crazy Big Boy❣️❣️ I Only give a smaller amount to each of my Mares; to get them moving around & playing with their Sweet Babies, they can get quite Lethargic in Fall! All of my Adult Horses look so Soft & Fuzzy, with their New Winter Fur-(Babies All Fuzzy & Gorgeous, too!).

(;.

This supplement was recommended to our farm by our feed rep. I’m an old school horseman and don’t over supplement my herd or believe in throwing supplement after supplement into a horse to ‘fix’ them.

After discussing some issues we were seeing with our herd, he strongly suggested giving Outlast a try. Of course, I raised an eyebrow and had my doubts but was willing to give just about anything a try.

We feed good quality hay 24/7 so there is forage always available so didn’t think our herd should have digestive tract issues. So we gave Outlast a try and in about 3 – 4 weeks we saw a huge change in all of the herd we had placed on the Outlast.

We talk about it to anyone who will listen! Thank you Purina for your awesome product and care in researching the very best products and feeds for our beloved equine partners! A Most Grateful Old Horseman.

I purchased Daily Gold for a mare I bought two years ago who had an obvious rough start with humans. Although we made progress in general (and she is an absolute dream to ride) she always would start out every interaction with hesitancy.

Sometimes I could soothe her out of it and sometimes she would be triggered, lose all trust in me and be run as far as she could get from me and stand there a tense mess and would take quite a bit of work to get back in the “thinking” state of mind.

Through recommendation of a friend, I had been introduced to Rein Water a few months back and have continued to purchase it because all of my horses love it and I could definitely see an increase in their water intake through the winter.

I received an ad through Redmond specifically about Daily Gold and figured I’d give it a shot. They say you need at least two weeks to see results but I’m pretty certain I noticed a difference by the second day.

It has been two weeks now and my horse is a completely different animal! This morning she walked right up to the gate and nickered friendly at me when I went out for morning chores! She would never have done that two weeks ago! Yes, I have been consistently working with her as well but Daily Gold has definitely taken all the edge off her and I feel because of that, she goes into the day calmer and thinking and has been able to retain the information I’ve been giving her.

We are definitely customers for life and I’d recommend Daily Gold to anyone!!.

So I have used Daily Gold for my 12 year old mare , and then stopped giving it to her. I now will start her back on it to help prevent colic , ulcers etc. When I did have her on Daily Gold last year I noticed a huge difference in her attitude etc.

I have also used the Daily Gold paste with her before loading in the trailer and could see a difference. I know it is not even two weeks , but on February 7th I put my 1. 5 year old Filly on Daily Gold.

My Filly started Colicing on me with a mild case of gas colic. While talking to my vet about how she would bite her one side etc. I told him I am pretty sure she has ulcers. My vet then said if I wanted I could have her scoped , but it would have to be on another day etc.

My vet mentioned about putting her on some stuff that would cost me $250 for like a 1 or 2 month supply. I told him and my other vet that I was going to try Daily Gold, and that if if my Filly was not gettimg better I would bring her back.

Even though it had only been a week and a half I can tell a difference with my Filly. My Filly seems calmer , even though she can be crazy with playful energy. My Filly is not biting at her sides like she was.

My horses will always be on Daily Gold! I absolutely recommend this product ro anyone. Thank you for making such amazing products.

I originally started using Daily Gold a year ago for a horse just finishing Rx treatment for ulcers and situational anxieties. I had read the reviews about people loving the product and putting all their horses on it.

So on horse no 2 which did not display any gastric issues, not excitable, stressed etc. actually showed very obvious results after 2. 5 months on this product…the difference was while in training and during lessons where h would occasionally want to flip you the bird or be resistant in some maneuvers, he became very accommodating and willing to work! It’s now been over 9 months and I’ve been able to do so much more with this horse in both English and Western disciplines.

So although he didn’t really didn’t display “stress”, he had his own independent way of having stress and I believe the daily gold has fixed this. Now for the fist horse I bought this for, the results are not as obvious but his fit is healthy; unfortunately situational anxieties have to be worked through but he continues to improve and I will keep him on the Daily Gold for gut maintenance.

Our 25-year-old draft mare quit eating and drinking, and she became depressed when her pasture mate left for training. She also started laying down at weird times, so we called the vet. She had a severe impaction and had to be treated at the veterinarian hospital.

Fortunately, they were able to save her. Severe ulcers also were found during her scope. She was sent home with new feeding guidelines and a 4-week regimen of ULCERGARD. A followup scope showed significant healing of her active ulcers.

I recently bought this for my 14 yr old quarter horse gelding due to him noting eating and was just grumpy. He usually has bug eyes and ears forward. He gets picked on in the pasture and recently had a new one added that acts like a stepbrother.

Gave him a full tub and wow! I wasn’t sure if it was ulcers because he’s not cinchy and doesn’t act like a typical ulcer horse. He was trotting around and rearing up on horses picking on him, which he never does.

He started eating again and he doesn’t look stress/ grumpy anymore. Will definitely continue treating with this and always have it handy.

I feed this to one horse who suffers from ulcers and 2 other horses who don’t have any known gastric issues. All horses eat it well and their stool is much firmer now. The ingredients in this supplement are linked to easing ulcers.

I also like that the ulcery horse will eat this as she can picky from upset stomach. Since she eats this I’ll assume it’s helping. It soaks into beat pulp based grain really well too! This product does not come with a pump so one would need to be purchased separately.

My mini mare has been on the U-7 liquid for years. Before the U-7 she had some recurring issues with colic, general discomfort and ulcers. After a veterinary course of treatment for ulcers I found this supplement and it’s ideal for my mare, because she won’t eat supplements in her feed.

Along with proper stable management (good hay, good feed, etc. ) the addition of the U-7 has kept her well and content.

My daughters horse Whiskey is almost 27, the cold snap last winter took a toll on him. With him missing 3 teeth his digestion is always what it should be. A trainer friend suggested the U7. He is putting weight back on, his coat looks better, his stomach sounds are more pronounced.

This is the best equine product that I have ever bought! I have a 25 year old TB mare who has always been on the thinner side. She was diagnosed with PPID a year ago and has been a VERY picky eater since then because of the medication she is on for it.

I tried everything for her – all different kinds of feed, alfalfa, beet pulp, oil, shredded carrots in her feed, holding her feed pan up to her nose so she would keep eating, etc, etc. Some days she would eat well, and other days she wouldn’t even finish her grain despite being left in her stall with it all day.

I came across this supplement and figured I’d give it a try – it has been five days since I started it and her eating has been completely transformed. She is eating three meals a day of grain, alfalfa pellets, beet pulp, and oil all mixed together and she LOVES it.

She used to get super distracted while eating and wasn’t interested, now she keeps going until she’s done! I never thought I would get her back to eating so well, and I am so happy that I finally found the solution for her after trying literally everything I could think of.

If you have a very picky eater, try this product! It works so well and so quickly!.

My dressage mare is a super picky eater, and goes off grain in stressful situations. I had put her on numerous different grains, and supplements. She would eat the grain a couple weeks then go off, so I would try another grain.

I couldn’t get her to eat any of the supplements I bought her either. I was hesitant to give UltraCruz® Equine Appetite Support Supplement a try just because of how picky my mare had been. I can honestly say, this product is 100% what it’s described to be.

My mare not only has been eating this supplement “from day one”, but now finishes her grain at each feeding, and has not come off her grain! I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone that has trouble keeping there horses eating, or have issues with weight gain.

I’ll never not use this supplement. It’s been so amazing to see my horse excited to eat, and see the weight she has put on- just after a little less than a month on UltraCruz® Equine Appetite Support Supplement for Horses.

Thank you, thank you Santa Cruz for this amazing product!!.

I thought I had ordered the pellets like I normally do, but when my order arrived it was the powder. I thought I would give it a try. HUGE waste of money, esp. since I bought the 10 lb bag. I added this to my horses grain and supplements (which I make up in baggies one week at a time) and tried to feed it tonight.

He attempted to eat it at first, but it turned into a glue like substance in his mouth and he refused to eat the rest of it and turned his nose up at the rest of the grain. He was trying to get the stuff which was stuck to his muzzle and roof of his mouth off for over an hour.

Now I’ve not only wasted money on this 10lb bag, but also a weeks worth of supplements and grain since this powder is now mixed in with those baggies. I wish the product name stated this was a powder, and that the pelleted form product name stated it was the pellets.

It would have prevented me from wasting money and getting this totally unedible powder. I can’t even give away the rest of the bag to others at the barn, because no one likes the powdered form.

When my new OTTB arrived, I learned pretty quickly that she was a cribber. After a lot of research, I found that Neighlox has been shown to soothe cribber’s digestion by lowering acidity and thus reducing cribbing… within 24 hours of starting this, I noticed a huge improvement in my mare.

Not only has her cribbing been significantly reduced, but her personality “opened up” as well. Her eyes are less dull and she has more energy and curiosity about the world. Can’t recommend Neighlox enough!.

My 25 year old gelding has PPID and we were dealing with chronic diarrhea. After 3 weeks on this, it slowed down. By 6 weeks he was producing solid manure. At 4 months dropped down the dose. He was producing text book perfect poop.

Now he’s on a maintenance dose, even with the seasons changing. He’s still doing fantastic. I highly recommend this product. Just give it tome to work.

I decided to try this product after reading a review by someone with an old horse that had recurrent diarrhea. My horse, a 17 yr old WB, has been through it all: colic surgery too. His most persistent problem has been cow-pie diarrhea with a watery portion after passing manure.

Also, worried about dehydration and colic too. He’d been treated with everything from sucralfate to Bio-Sponge, all to only very temporary results. I even had a specialist come out and Ultrasound his hind gut etc, all normal of course, $500 later.

Any change in grass or environment (dry to wet, temperature changes, seasonal ) was enough to start the watery portion issue at least. No fun washing and or wrapping a tail in the winter, not to mention the extreme weightlifting of cleaning waterlogged piles out of his stall.

This product has eliminated all of that, for months now. This is the only thing that seems to treat his hind gut issues. I also recommend Triple Crown Senior Feed and reducing hay amount to ease b urden on hind gut.

Couldn’t be happier!.

I know every horse is different, and this product had great reviews. I decided to give it a try, given my mare is very ulcer prone. Her behavior quickly started to deteriorate with the use of this supplement.

I know People too that have used this and their horses responded positively on it, it’s just not the right supplement for my mare. I’ll be trying the 60 day challenge with Succeed instead, as I’ve tried a lot of other supplements without much success.

The supplement itself wasn’t of bad quality at least. My mare isn’t a picky eater, she will literally eat rocks if you put it in her feed bin. So she of course ate this with no issue.

My gelding suffered a hock injury and was In a herd environment. He is golden palomino and dapples beautifully in the spring but did not this year. His coat was dull and dirty first time in 5 years of owning him.

While treating for his injury he was removed from the herd and placed with one other horse and it was recommended by my vet to put him on this product. We determined he may be stressed from herd and having stomach issues.

This is my second month on 2 scoops every am and his dapples are back and coat looks fabulous. Did not change anything other than his herd environment and the neigh lox. Obviously the product helped his digestive tract and we are on are way to looking the way we should.

Was not a believer till I saw it myself. Wish I had taken before and after pictures. He was even getting three Haynets. A day while on recovery to help with boredom but his coat still looked horrible.

I mix it in his grain with water and he gulps it right up.

My mare is 27 years old with PPID. Even though she has been on pergolide, she has become rather mellow and sometimes sluggish. She also has had ulcers in the past. I tried her on U-Gard, but the magnesium in it made her SOOOO much more sluggish that I couldn’t get her forward when I rode her.

I switched to NeighLox over a year ago and she now has her energy back when I ride her. When I ask her for more energy during our rides, she gives it to me. I have another mare who is 17 yrs old that has a bit of an “attitude”, and the U-Gard has done wonders for her.

The point is that not all ulcer prevention supplements are the same, and one may work better for a particular horse than another. Palatability: 5.

My older gelding has been battling serious case of diarrhea lately. One day while in a feed store i saw Daily Gold stress relief in a paste. I brought a tube home and top dtessed it over grain and noticed some improvement by the next day.

Now I’m giving him Daily Gold sold in powder form on a daily basis. My horse is bouncing back to normalcy nicely.

These are the single best calming-on-the-spot aid I’ve ever used! It truly works for how small the ingredients list is (which I love!) I like to keep a few of these on hand because they’re so useful for the planned, and the unplanned, stressful moments, it isn’t just for pre-race time! I am not a barrel racer either, I use these as a regular horse owner for big and small occasions, and plan to keep them handy come show season.

They smell like peppermint which I really enjoy! The medicine smell on pastes can really get old. I would 100% recommend using this paste in conjunction with the daily gold, to me, the daily gold is something we will never go without!.

We use daily gold paste before each barrel competition every day at the shows. This really helps keep the acid at bay and helps soothe the digestive tract. We recently had our horse scoped and no ulcers.

We make sure this is in the trailer for every barrel race.

My high energy Tennessee Walker would go off feed any time she trailered or tried to camp away from her corral. She refused to eat and became increasingly restless and uncomfortable as each travel day passed.

A friend recognized the symptoms from his hot horse and recommended trying an extra Ulcer Gard syringe he had in his kit. Within 8 hours of the first dosage she began eating again. The second day of the recommended dosage brought complete relief from the anxiety she was experiencing.

She was actually eating in the trailer on the way home! I had no idea horses got heart burn. Stateline Tack has the best prices. Palatability: 4.

I used this upon vet recommendation daily for a month to resolve ulcers in a newly purchased mare. She did well and now I only use the omeprazole when she looks a little “tied up” or with stressors such as long trailer trips in FL heat.

It works well and syringe is effective delivery mechanism. I see results within 30-60 minutes of dosing.

I always use UlcerGard daily at our frequent horse shows and when hauling, so I appreciate the horse. com price, which is the regulated lowest Merial will allow. I don’t appreciate that buying 6 is the same as the individual price, so I won’t be putting out so much money at once unless they reconsider their pricing structure.

Buying through horse. com does not count for any Merial rebates, which I think it should due to the many tubes I buy each year. Other than the cost, I love the product!.

Trainer recommended Alimend for my very sensitive OTTB mare. We didn’t know if she had ulcers but since Alimend was also helpful in the prevention of them she thought it was something worth trying! I thought it seemed super expensive but then I did some research and discovered it was way cheaper than Ulcergard and any other treatment out there! I saw a change in my mare within the first month.

When grooming her she didnt flinch when I touched her belly and stood still while I tacked her up. When normally she would panic and break the cross ties. It changed my mare’s life and she is so happy and content now because of Alimend!.

My mare was given 3, month-long treatments, of Gastro med from March 2021 to August 2021. I was frustrated that the Gastro med worked during the time it was administered, but the results were not sustained once she was tapered off.

I understood that a gastric acid pump inhibitor was needed to block gastric acid secretion in order for the ulcers to heal, but this could not be a sustained approach. Gastric acid is a natural part of the digestive system, so I needed to find a way to support a healthy gut to prevent the ulcers from developing in the first place.

In speaking with my trainer, she had heard good things about G-tract from Immubiome. I have a degree in Microbiology, so I understand how critical gut health is to overall health, but I also want to see peer-reviewed research.

I looked at the website and gave Chris a call. He took his time talking with me and asked a lot of questions to ascertain a full history. Chris was clear that he treats horses individually and there is no one size fits all approach.

He recommended that I start with Lean Muscle and he also gave me a small free trial of Focus because my mare could be anxious at times. He asked that I call him back in three weeks for an update. I did and at that point we decided to do the Lean Muscle in the morning and the G-tract in the evening, we have further changed thing to half Lean Muscle and half G-tract in the AM and PM.

I waited 5 months to write a review because I really wanted to see the effects of these products. She has not needed another round of Gastro gard. The Lean Muscle has given her a beautiful topline and overall muscle tone.

The combination of the Lean Muscle and the G-tract has made her happier and less reactive because she is no longer in pain. The ulcers had seriously impacted her training, but now we are seeing continuous progress.

During times of potential stress I have given her Focus and I, along with other people who work with my horse, have noticed a resulting calm focus. My trainer and I are sold on these products. Not only have they worked with my horse, but with many other horses at our barn.

I am so thankful that I am working with my horse proactively, rather than reactively!.

My beloved horse, Faralyn, was diagnosed with a severe case of EPM going on 4 months ago. Over the past year, Faralyn had begun tripping more frequently. It was gradual, but disconcerting. Four months ago, I was riding Faralyn at the trot when Faralyn tripped and fell to the ground.

I went over Faralyn’s head and landed on my own. We knew something was wrong. We had the vet out who tested her for EPM and then put her on medication to **** the parasites. But the medication does not have the ability to reverse Faralyn’s neurological damage.

By happenstance, I was in touch with Faralyn’s emergency veterinarian the day I received Faralyn’s diagnosis. She very helpfully recommended 10,000 iu of Vitamin E per day for Faralyn and suggested I contact ImmuBiome for supplements to reduce the inflammation and support regeneration of Faralyn’s neurological pathways.

If you know of a horse with EPM, I would HIGHLY recommend speaking with Chris at ImmuBiome – he developed the supplements and is an absolute fountain of knowledge on the topic of EPM and recovery. When Chris told me he thought there was a good chance Faralyn would survive AND regain a chance of her former abilities, I had serious doubts.

But it was also very clear Chris knew what he was talking about. The first month I spent many hours sitting with Faralyn in her stall. I was worried Faralyn was going to die and I wanted to spend as much time with her as I could.

I cried buckets as I sat with her each day. All I wanted was for Faralyn to live. I didn’t think about riding or anything more than Faralyn surviving. I have a picture of Faralyn taken 30 days after starting of the supplements combined with the anti-parasitic medication.

By the end of a month, Faralyn was definitely improved. She had enough energy to run in the pasture, she clearly recognized me, and her shiny coat had returned. I was elated! I spoke with Chris at ImmuBiome, again, around this time.

He was very encouraged by Faralyn’s progress and provided guidance for continuing the supplements: Nerve Boost as well as Nerve and Spine. I, too, was amazed and cautiously optimistic about Faralyn’s improvement.

I was now hopeful she would be able walk and trot with me (without hurting either of us). Given her neurological impairment a month before was severe enough that she fell to the ground and rolled onto the saddle where I had just been, this seemed like a big goal.

Five weeks after her diagnosis, I walked Faralyn under saddle for the first time. Throughout the next couple of months we have slowly built on each success. A couple of weeks ago, I asked my trainer to jump Faralyn.

We included a few 3’ jumps. Faralyn and our trainer did a number of courses with tight rollbacks which Faralyn loves. Faralyn executed every course perfectly. Then I rode Faralyn. On our first rollback, I had forgotten how tightly she could do those turns.

For one moment, Faralyn was heading left and I was still going straight. But I managed to hang on and it was a moment of pure joy. I simply could not believe how far Faralyn had come. As far as I’m concerned, all of it is a miracle.

I don’t think anyone who saw Faralyn almost 4 months ago would have believed that Faralyn could have progressed this far. I can’t think of adequate words to express my gratitude to the vets, Chris, Immubiome, and our wonderful trainer, so I’ll simply say, “thank you from the bottom of my heart”!!.

Horse has never lost appetite, but is VERY picky about anything put in her feed. She was already getting 2mg. Prasend in her feed for 3 weeks before symptoms started. Hind leg symptoms started 7 days after a traumatic casting event.

Multiple meds were started including Bute, Vit. E, doxycycline, within days of each other. The immuno biome was the last additional supplement added as a last ditch attempt before determining if it might be best to discontinue treatment or give her more time.

All meds had a bad taste and had to be disguised with molasses and ****** syringed. When immune biome was opened, the smell was off putting. The molasses, immune biome, and water had to be mixed in a separate syringe and given at a different time than the other **** supplements.

The horse became too difficult to have anyone other than myself ****** syringe it into her mouth. Immune biome may have been helpful, but if the smell was less off putting and the taste more palatable it would be administered more regularly to determine effectiveness.

This is a problem.

My horse was very slightly off in a way that had my trainer and me scratching our heads. He wasn’t lame but he wasn’t moving like himself. Then his body worker, whom he LOVES, reported that he warned her off when she tried to work his lower stomach near his hips.

They put their heads together and decided he had ulcers. I gulped when I saw the price of standard ulcer treatments for even just one month and since I wasn’t entirely convinced he did have ulcers (because he hadn’t tried to tell me to stay away when grooming or blanketing) I went to the Smartpak site to see what they had to say.

I found this supplement and figured at this price I had nothing to lose. Within a couple of weeks my trainer was delighted with how he was moving again and his body worker just reported that he was his usual teddy bear self so I guess it did the trick! I will say though that the Smartpak web page says “28 day supply” but the dosage is weight based so if you have a big horse as I do, it will only last you about three weeks.

I was skeptical of this product due to its affordability, seeing as I had tried other more expensive products without luck. After about a week of use, I started to see improvements. My horse who could be irritable under saddle (kicking at stomach, tail swishing, refusing to move forward) hasn’t exhibited these behaviors and is much more willing to move forward under saddle.

He just overall appears more comfortable. This product hasn’t completely cleared up the fecal water issue that this horse occasionally has, but I do believe there’s been some improvement with this since starting the product.

My 26 year old mare lost a lot of condition this winter, she simply doesn’t like eating hay. So I decided to add this just in case she was working on some ulcers. When I opened the bucket the first thing I got was a whiff of it.

To be honest it smells incredibly chemically and gross and I thought for sure my mare wouldn’t eat it even though she isn’t generally picky with supplements in her grain. BUT she eats it just fine and it seems to work! She started eating a bit more hay, she went from eating 1 flake every 24 hours to 2 flakes.

We are a month in and I can tell she has gained weight and she seems happier. I would be skeptical if your horse is a picky eater just because of the strong smell. But if you can look past that smell this seems to be a good product.

This 10lb bucket lasts me with 3 horses about 3 weeks at 2 scoops each. I think that for the price it’s a great deal. We do lots of trailering and riding and i feed this as a defense against ulcers and it gives me some relief as it’s a preventative against colic.

Giving a 5 star rating for Tractor Supply. Have only been using the EquiTum for a few days. My gray gelding has stomach problems and I hope(d) this will do the trick. He’s very picky and apparently doesn’t like the taste, even disguised in some good 4-way sweet feed.

Will keep trying.

I started my 1300+# Warmblood Belgian on this hoof supplement just a few weeks ago. He has a tendency to pancake out and gets a lot of stress cracks and breaking in his hooves. During his last trim, my farrier told me to get some biotin in him to see if that would help.

I got on the web and started researching products, and ended up choosing this one. I waited to do this review on purpose, because I wanted my farrier to notice a difference during his next trim, which was today.

For the first time in YEARS, Tucker had no cracks and no big chunks missing from his hooves. My farrier noticed and asked what I put him on. I ordered the 60 individual packs, so I gave my farrier one and asked him to show and recommend it to other clients.

We will see in 6 more weeks what Tucker’s hooves look like, but having only been on this supplement for a few weeks now, I am confident this one is going to be a part of his daily diet for the duration.

Thank you for making such a great product that really does work like you say.

I have a 21yo QH that has never recovered well from excercise. We suspected PSSM because of his breeding. After a few days on this he acts like a youngster. Will keep him on it. P. S. I split the dose 1/2 in the morning 1/2 at night.

Works for him.

My show hunter has been on this because I believe in a daily treatment for ulcer management and gut health, however after 12+ months and dealing with multiple ulcer flair-ups, I am removing him from this supplement.

I’d had luck with Smart Supplements with a previous horse, so I cannot confirm this will not work for other horses, but for a sensitive Thoroughbred, it does not seem to be effective.

My 29 year old gelding has been on this for close to a year now after many years of dealing with awful loose manure especially in the winter (which was really fun when it froze to him and his blankets-just terrible)! I noticed that it was helping him after about a month on it and he has continued to improve.

Since seasonal changes between grass and hay are hard on him I have kept him on it year round and it has helped him so much. This is the first winter I can say he has actually had solid manure and no messy rear end and blankets.

I am forever grateful to Smartpak and he will be staying on this for sure! I had tried several different supplements prior to this that didn’t work for him so it is worth a try if your horse has loose manure issues.

Bought this product for the first time in September 2020 and am still using it. I was skeptical at first because I have tried other products similar to this such as Moody Mare and did not see a difference in my mares behavior.

My mare is definitely a mare if you catch my drift. She is grumpy about everything and lets you know. When she is in season she constantly nickers and squats at geldings (unfortunately sometimes even under saddle.

I would hate to see her behavior near a stallion). After being on Leg Up Mare Pellets I noticed an improvement after 6 weeks. Although she still has plenty of attitude (I wouldn’t want it any other way, I am a true mare person at heart) she isn’t constantly in war mode.

Also we can go on nice trail rides with geldings even when she is in season with out her constantly nickering and squatting every two seconds! Needless to say we will definitely continue to use this product!.

I have two horses on this, a 23 year old and a 15 year old. Both do very well. The older horse has some arthritis in his stifles, and this helps a lot. The younger horse’s fetlocks used to click all the time.

Much less often now. The down side of this product is the packaging! These little plastic bags may say they are recyclable but that doesn’t mean it really happens. How about biodegradable bags, buckets, and something that holds all 8 pounds, or all 16 pounds, instead of all the small packaging??.

I have been using this product for over a year. I just haven’t seen results, still no topline and nice shoulders and rumps without also adding exercise to get the muscle. I recently started looking up what horses need per day and found out that this product only supplies 1/2 their daily needs! I am now feeding this 2x per day for horses over 1000 lbs or more.

With 2x per day it’s not as economical because I still have to feed for the other vitamins and minerals not in this product. I’m finishing the bag and discontinuing use. I would recommend that SmartPak have an equine nutritionist on staff.

I’ve started moving away from their products because of this reason.

I received my package sooner that I thought I would and was pleasantly surprised because it came on the day I used my previous weeks last one. I’m so gracious for the fast service and that my boy is feeling better.

I knew something was wrong with my guy because as a19 year old he’s usually pretty social and even with his pasture mate he’ll play and fuss but there was none of that, two weeks and one day into this regiment he’s back to normal! Thanks for the meds! The value of a happy horse is worth his weight in gold!.

Treating almost 13 year old mare who was diagnosed with grade 2 ulcers. We’ll see how she fares after 30 days of treatment with GastroGuard. Boy! Expensive to treat ulcers although Valley Vet’s price is better than our veterinarian’s price.

Gastrogard is the best option for gastric ulcer treatment. Unfortunately, it needs a prescription and I found out the hard way that ValleyVet is terrible at handling prescriptions. It’s a 5 star product, but 1-star customer service.

Very disappointed.
