Dosage and delivery can be kept consistent, and freshness is ensured. To order medications, customers need only to fax or mail a copy of their veterinarian's prescription."

Southwest Horse Trader - September 2001

Innovative New Product: "SmartPak Equine, which has transformed the feeding of equine nutritional supplements, is now poised to also revolutionize the feeding of prescription pharmaceuticals for horses. 'Horse owners across the U.S. have been clamoring to add basic medications such as bute, isoxsuprine and Thyro-L to their SmartPaks. There are thousands of horses that require these daily meds, and owners face a lot of hassle feeding these medications' states Becky Minard, Vice President of Marketing and lifelong horse owner."

Hunter & Sport Horse - May/June 2001

"Solve Your Supplement problem with SmartPak! Customized for each horse, SmartPak provides daily servings of brand name supplements in sealed containers. The daily-dose SmartPaks come in reusable dispenser drawers that neatly stack in feed rooms. A SmartPak spokesperson explains, 'A typical barn might have 35 horses that require three supplements each. That's 105 bulk supplements to be opened, measured, fed and resealed.' Supplements are frequently mis-measured or, worse, forgotten. 'SmartPak completely eliminates these problems. Owners love it because they know their horses are getting their choice of name-brand supplements, in the exact amount, every day. Barn managers love it because it's simple'."

Practical Horseman - January 2001

"This is a great idea," says our tester, who manages forty-plus horses in a hunter/jumper training barn. "It’s got so many advantages. Each dose is accurately measured, the supplements stay fresh, and the dispensing containers stack neatly in the feed room"...an advantage not only to the feeding staff but to individual boarders, each of whom can feel assured that her horse is receiving the proper supplements on a daily basis. And, he says he can easily pack the appropriate supplements for each horse that’s going on the road to show. As for the company’s price claims, he says, "Though I didn’t figure it out to the penny, the price seems to be sensible for the supplements being delivered."
