Description

Killitch - sweet itch Solution

Killitch is licensed and proven to prevent and treat Sweet Itch in horses and ponies.

Proven to prevent sweet itch.

  • AVM-GSL* licensed product with active ingredient benzyl benzoate in a soothing lotion, specially formulated for horses.
  • If used as a preventative measure in early Spring prior to the symptoms becoming evident, the condition may not take hold.

Application

  • Apply to all affected areas by rubbing in with fingers or soft cloth as soon as sweet itch is diagnosed and for the remaining part of the sweet itch season.
  • Initial application of Killitch (75ml) should be made twice daily, reducing to once daily and then 3-4 times a week as the irritation lessens.
  • All affected areas should be kept clean by shampooing and rinsing well at least once a week.
  • After shampooing or heavy exercise, re-apply to ensure adequate protection.

With horses which are known to suffer from sweet itch, it is recommended that Killitch is applied in the early spring before symptoms become evident, so that the condition may never take a hold.

Key Ingredients

  • Benzyl benzoate 25% w/v – a creamy white soothing lotion.

I'm really pleased with the result using this product (only been using it a couple of wks but have seen improvement already) The sore inflamed patches of skin have settled, there's no scabs & he is itching less. His hair is starting to grow back also. All round am very happy with this lotion. A little goes a long way too, so is actually really economical & should last well. [I sadly didn't begin using this before gnat season started, so can't comment on its efficacy for preventing symptoms before they start - but I will be using it from Feb next year]
The only negative is it seems to colour my white horse slightly pink where the lotion is put (this may be due to dirt sticking to the lotion?) But this rinses off clean with a quick wash with water & soap.
Would recommend this product for sweetitch or allergy to gnat bite along neck.

How long does a 1 liter bottle of killitch last if applied every day?

  • VioVet Staff

Initial application of Killitch (75ml) should be made twice daily,
reducing to once daily and then 3-4 times a week as the irritation
lessens.

This will depend on what dose you are applying, though I would imagine the 1L bottle would last quite a while.
