So easy to use
This is so much nicer than the liquid form. No feeding 'arguments' or wasted feed. My horse doesn't even notice this in her grain, and she is a very picky eater.

Made a difference for my 30 yr old mare!
She's been on the red cell pellets for a month now after finding out she had a heart murmur and her energy and satisfaction with life has definitely increased and she's put on some weight so I will definitely be keeping her on this!

Works!
Definitely helps my barrel horse. Keeps his energy up and he fires harder coming out of the barrels. My horse is also very picky and HATES the Red Cell liquid, but he eats the pellets just fine.

product works
I know you can purchase this product at many places, but Smart Pak makes it easier, especially when you already a Smart Perk member.
My 23 year old Paint horse is a very, very picky eater so we used to use Red Cell liquid in a syringe. Poor guy, he didn't care for the syringe, can't say I blame him. He love the pellets and eats them with his grain with no problem !

Noticeable difference
I'd always noticed my horse seems to get unusually out of breath during work whenever the weather is warmer. Blood test showed "normal" results but on the low end; vet said it was fine to try Red Cell. I noticed my horse had better stamina during hot weather while on the Red Cell and didn't get "hot" as he will if I just upped the grain. Thank goodness they make these in pellets now instead of having to deal with the old sticky liquid. :)

Wonderful Product
We purchased this product to use for some of our school horses and it has helped them tremendously! Started buying it for our 26 year old lesson horse when the vet said he showed signs of anemia. He has perked up and is excited to be at work again!

Does the job, but beware the HOT horse!
I added these to my smartpaks after bloodwork showed my mare being slightly anemic. I kept her on them for about 2 months, and she definitely came back to life, but the longer she was on them, the more hot she became. She was snorting and huffing at everything and it made it too hard to work with her in schooling sessions. We could go past the same chair 10 times and 10 times, she would snort or try to veer sideways. Getting her to focus felt impossible and it became too frustrating to keep her on it. I did keep her last shipment and store them off to the side and will use again if needed, but for now, she seems to be doing great. It only took about a week for the effects to wear off and we recently had a fantastic schooling session where she was actually listening and not distracted or nervous. Like I said, the product works great for restoring red blood cell levels, and I would've given it 5 stars if not for the side effect of creating a spooky horse.

Exactly what the doctor ordered
True, idiopathic anemia in horses is rare and you do not want to supplement iron when the real issue is something else. But when my pony dropped a bunch of weight and lost all her sparkle, we determined she was anemic and did a TON of tests to find out why -- to naught. So, this is what the vet asked me to do, and voila, I have my pony back. She looks fab now!

Fast service and delivery
A routine blood test on my 26 year old National Show horse showed that she is anemic. After a phone conversation with an extremely knowledgeable representative, I chose Red Cell. The delivery was prompt and Strawbari has an increased appetite and attitude. Thanks to all.

It's working!
Waiting on a follow up blood work by our vet, however, my horse definitely appears to be feeling better. More alert and more energy. Once we have the results, assuming they are better, I will rate this product excellent.

Immediate Improvement for Anemia
I was surprised to find out my Arabian mare, who remains full of spit and vinegar at 28 years, had a blood test showing she was anemic. My vet recommended Red Cell and I immediately ordered a SmartPak for her. After a month she was showing improvement. I have added it to her regular SmartPak for a few more months until she has reached the necessary goal. I am very pleased with her improvement.

More energy.
I have had my 15yr old gelding, Harley, on Red Cell for just about one month now. I have noticed he had a little more energy than he had before using this product.

Unfortunately Saw No Change in Energy
I bought Red Cell in liquid form for my horse in early November, since he wasn't getting another shipment of Smartpaks until the first week of December and those included the Red Cell pellets. He switched right from the liquid to the pellets once they arrived, and the pellets were so so so much easier to feed and despite him being a picky eater, he gobbled them right up. However, after him being on the supplement for two months now, I saw no change in his energy level so he'll be finishing out his Smartpaks with Red Cell pellets and then won't be continuing on them. I'm guessing for some horses it's great, but for him an altered training program/better conditioning, and increased grain and hay (done slowly and responsibly) worked instead. So it seems like a great supplement at a great value, but it just wasn't what my horse needed at the time!

Helps with anhidrosis!
A horse that I am leasing has trouble sweating and his owner started him on red cell pellets. He had been on one ac and the beer diet in the past but red cell was more accessible and easier to use since it is in pellet form. He has been sweating almost like a normal horse would and as much as he did on other supplements. Amazing!

Great Product...a bit of a strong taste
My mini gelding had bloodwork done during a recent veterinary exam and he came up anemic. Red Cell has always been the 'go-to' product for iron supplements since I was a kid, so I purchased the pellets. They do have a strong odor and Nozzy isn't sure he likes to eat them. He's normally a piggy so if he's hesitant than other horses might also not like the taste. He does finish most of his small portion, but is reluctant.

Love how well my horse is doing on this. Really has improved his energy level. He can be a picky eater and has had no issues eating this.

Great product
I used because my horse had a severe injury and became slightly anemic. Now that this product is in pellet form it is much easier to feed.

Red Cell Pellets
I put my mustang on as her iron was so low. she just dragged. It great to see her run and kick with life back in her.
The liquid I tried first, reminded me of giving my kids iron.

Love the pellet form!
My horse has had leg issues since he was a baby, he needs the extra support of blood flow to help him with his shaky knees. I was feeding him the liquid type for a long time did some experiments of taking him off of it, changing amount, etc. he definitely needs it and the pellets are so much easier and less messy. Half the liquid ends up stuck to the walls or feeder!if your horse has shaky knees like mine or needs extra blood flow somewhere this helps!

Just what my pony needed!!
Within three months, I noticed a huge difference in my pony's energy level! This stuff is awesome! One negative side is that he is a little spookier where he never spooked before. I would definitely recommend this for a sluggish horse!!

What we needed!
After a month of the red cell pellets I found a little more pep to my 14 year old, without making him hot. Pellets are easy to feed, feed tub is licked clean and it even dappled out his coat! A+

Red Cell Pellets
Very easy to feed in pellet form compared to the red cell liquid. My guy didn't mind the taste at all and I didn't notice a change in his energy level from the excess iron. Again, much easier to feed since the pellets can be put in a smartpak
