Good doer

Tracy Paley

  • VioVet customer since 2019
  • From: West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

hi my pony is a very good doer. at the moment i am using one cup he gets very little else apart from the usual forage . is this suitable to swap him onto ???, i definatly do not need anything that will make him put weight on .


thank you

  • VioVet Staff

Yes this product is suitable to switch your horse onto. It is slightly more aimed at improving digestive function than One Cup, so you may see more benefits in this area. Supplements like this do not necessarily add weight on, if you are having weight issues then I would recommend investigating your concentrate feed and addressing this.

Information

Trish

Can this still be use on a older horse ?

  • VioVet Staff

Hi Trish,

Thank you for your question. This supplement is suitable for horses of all ages and disciplines. As it is such a concentrated formulation you would only need to feed a small amount. If your horse has any teeth problems it can also be moistened with some water to make a mash.

Kind regards,

Bridget.
