Natural Psyllium Fiber for Horses

I use Equi-Aid as part of my regimen to minimize sand build up in my horses and for the occasional bout of diarrhea. This product is in pellet form, which they prefer, and is more palatable than some others I have tried. I have one horse whose feed I have to soak to avoid choke. I add this (not soaked) on top of the soaked feed and he eats it just fine.

I use this product once a month to keep my horses healthy

I've found overall that Valley Vet's offering of this product is under other supplier's pricing by considerable amounts. Of course to save even more buy in quantity (50lbs)...not offered everywhere! Pastured on sandy soil, my equines have the advantage over others, not given regular psyllium, in dealing with sand in the gut. This alone gives me peace of mind when justifying the expense.

I buy this religiously. No colic issues since starting the monthly regimen 8 yrs ago and sand is prevalent where I live. I'm a loyal customer to both product and Valley Vet. Always excellent service.

Horses readily eat this and have not had problems with sand colic even though our land is quite sandy.

I have used this product for 18 years Topper is 34 and in great health

I have tried several other fiber/sand clearing supplements and my finicky mare just will not willingly ingest them. I always end up back with equi-aid. Palatable, easy to dose, effective! Makes me and my horses happy!

I live in a major sand area. Having to board my horses, the 'pasture' is always eaten right down to the ground. And hay is thrown out on the sandy ground too. My Shetland Pony started having pipe-stream diarrhea and had to be taken off to emergency vet clinic. It was sand colic, and bad enough that they were discussing surgery for her. They gave her psyllium thru a naso-gastric tube first, and fortunately it did the trick. Thereafter, I was not about to go without psyllium as part of my horse's diet. Getting them to eat it isn't always that easy however. Powders they just snort out of their food because they don't like it and it flies away and does no good. I tried other pellets and the horses just avoided eating that too. Equi-Aid may seem a bit pricey, but my horses will eat it if I throw it into their feed buckets with absolutely nothing else in there to hide it. I know they're getting it, I haven't had another case of sand colic in the last 20 or so years either. It's worth the money to me, and as someone else pointed out, it's WAY cheaper than surgery, where you may or may not get a live horse back, much less useable.

We bought this product after a slight bout with "Sand Colic" three years ago.  We haven't had any problems with sand colic since.  YES, it's expensive (about $300 a year for 2 horses) BUT it is much cheaper than a Vet call or Surgery!

been using this product for years so regularly compare prices....Valley Vet ALWAYS comes out as best price and their service is great.
