✨** PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT **✨

Did you know that we stock the Poseidon Animal Health products in the clinic?

We thought we'd spotlight one of their superstars - Digestive EQ.

Digestive EQ is a complete fore and hindgut digestive product for horses designed to support equine gut health and immune systems.

Here are some of the results you can expect:
✨ Shinier, smoother coat - one of the first signs of improvement with DEQ
✨ Consistent, manageable manure - improved digestion leads to less acid in the hind gut, enhancing nutrient absorption and leading to better quality faeces - no more stained legs or excessive cleaning
✨ Improved handing and ridability - a healthy gut microbiome significantly influences behaviour, producing a more cooperative and happier horse. It can reduce discomfort behaviours like pawing and cribbing.
✨ Optimised recovery and performance - a well-functioning gut supports efficient nutrient absorption, boosting recovery and performance capabilities under stress.
✨ Healthy appetite - gut health impacts appetite significantly. Proper feed management and supplements help maintain appetite, especially under stress.

We also have Digestive HP in stock - for those horses competing/working at a high level, or have more grain in their diet.

We will be offering a webinar on
🪱 When to worm
AND
🪱 What to use
With a bonus of HOW to worm your babies safely with our mate Bex Tasker from Positively Together
Spoiler alert this p**p is a normal finding from a young filly!

We had a great day last Thursday for our Ulcer Scoping Clinic! 🙌🏽

Dr Tim Montgomery is a wealth of knowledge and everyone took away some valuable information from their visit! 🤓

Not only did we find ulcers, we also spied bots on more than one exam 🧐. A great reminder to de-worm your horses and ponies if they haven’t been dosed this year yet.

We also discovered a horse with pelvic issues, a horse who was unable to chew his food properly due to a severly unbalanced mouth, a strange wart-type growth in one of the horses mouths and worked through a hoof balancing/body alignment on a horse with intermittentent lameness. Thank you Dr Tim!

Three vets bouncing ideas around and investigating issues doesn’t happen often! 🤩

Thank you to everyone who came along and also to Adriaan who joined Wairoa Farm Vetsarm Vets and of course the team at the RDA for the use of their awesome facilities.
