It definitely has helped!
We've seen a big improvement of our horse's coat and it seems to be helping put on some weight.

Smells Like Chemicals!
I started my horse on this about 2.5 months ago, and I haven't seen any results so far. I know things usually take up to 90 days, but at this point I am hopeless that this product will actually do what it says. It smells like straight chemicals, and that can't be good for my horse. I do NOT reccomend this. You are way better off feeding pure flaxseed oil that has all of the same benefits. Plus it's natural and doesn't reak of chemicals. I am going to put my horse back on what I had him on before.

Great
I bought this a little over a month ago for my 2 boys. My older guy has been having hoof issues and so far hes improved alot and have gotten great winter coats. Very easy to use just a pump on their grain in the mornings.

Great supplement for weight gain.
I bought this product a little over a month ago and I can see the benefits to my horse Timone. I have had problems in the past keeping weight on Timone, but the Dac oil is everything the product advertised.

Shiny coat
I bought for my mare who is a very hard keeper as she has no gut absorption. She didn’t gain any weight on it. She did have a shiny coat with it, it does have a bad smell but surprisingly both of our horses ate it.

Soft, shiny coats
This product has definitely improved my horse's coat and skin. Even with his long winter coat, his hair is super soft and shiny. I also love the added vitamin E. However, the smell of it is strong, but my horse will eat anything i put in his food bucket, so it was a non-issue for me. I also found it did NOT help with weight gain for my OTTB.

Hot blooded TB/Trak always looked skinny
I have a TB/Trak warm blood mare that always looked skinny. Muscular but skinny. It was embarrassing. I tried everything. Literally, everything. When I put this in her feed, she kicked it over. I was nearly hopeless. But then I had the idea to put pancake syrup in her feed and a bit of water to make it into a sweeter, soupier mash and she eats all of it. She licks her bucket clean. She has put on a ton of weight and looks incredible. After 5 hears, I feel like a terrible mom for not figuring this out sooner. Will never try anything else. It is worth trying to mask the flavor to get your horse to eat it. If you horse really needs the calories, pancake syrup is fine.

Horse’s cost is show shopping!

Can't work if they won't eat it.
Bought a gallon based on the positive reviews. Bought the pump too, so I could be sure I was measuring a consistent amount. The oil smelled "odd" as soon as I opened the gallon container. I gave it to my usually super eager-eater horse as a top dress over his regular dinner, and he absolutely would not go near the food bucket. I waited him out. Nothing. Eventually I dumped out the oil/feed mix, washed out the food bucket, and put in just his regular dinner, which he ate. The product can't work if the horse won't eat it. And I can't have him boycotting his dinner if I mix the oil in. So now I have an almost full gallon of this stuff and am out the purchase price and shipping, which totaled around $50.

Love DAC Oil!
I've been using DAC Oil for about a year now and I love it! Coats are soft and shiny, helps powder supplements stick to feed better, and has an awesome, very strong Butterscotch-y smell to it. Zero palatability issues and buckets are always licked clean. The only issue I had is the gripper tape was only wrapped around the lid itself and not attached to the bottle at all. Arrived with a minor leak and oil on the bottle and in the ziploc bag that it was in. The little foil seal was slightly raised somehow. Nothing to do with the quality of the oil, though! It's great stuff!

LOVE IT
People have been petting my horse and saying how soft she is! I love this product! She was unsure at first but she now takes it perfect every day! Can wait to see how this continues to help her in the future!

Great product!
I bought this for two miniatures that were itchy and dry. They have stopped itching and are feeling much softer. It is very convenient to use with the pump.

Not impressed with this
I have been using ground flax for years for the healthy omega 3s, but wanted to try an oil product for the ease of feeding. I like that this oil has balanced omegas and added vitamin E, however...it smells pretty awful and one of my horses (hard keeper TB who really needed to eat this) refused to touch his grain when I top dressed with this oil. The other guys ate it, but not with their normal vigor and didn't lick their buckets clean like usual. I have also noticed that my horses have lost some condition and their slick and shiny haircoats from the ground flax turned dull and all sorts of skin problems are cropping up now. I would say that this is not good for picky eaters and I have had better results with other products.

Incredible Results!
I bought this two months ago for my QH gelding and only give him 1/2 pump because he really doesn’t need the extra calories. Within the first 2wks there was a noticeable shine to his coat, mane, and tail. 2 months later, his mane and tail are dramatically softer and thicker and requires no brushing, just running my fingers through to untangle. Highly recommend this!

Love DAC Oil
I have been feeding this to my horses for about a year and love the results! Their coats are super shiny and even blacker. I am even happier I can now order DAC oil from Smartpak.

Great product
This has made my mare’s coat shiny and silky! It’s also helped her gain a little bit of weight back she lost over winter. I will use the product again! She loved the taste too. Only drawback is it did not come with a pump. Had to buy separately off amazon

Shedding w/out a tool
I oriinally purchased this for the weight gain prospect and that has been good but nothing and I mean nothing has caused my horses to shed out and a shiney coat like this has. She originally was a light red chestnut/sorrel and she shed out within 2 weeks a deep auburn liver chestnut

I bought this for my 20 y/o gelding, to help boost his coat condition after clipping. Happy to say, his coat is growing great, looks great, getting a deeper color, and I’ve actually noticed growth in his tail! Also great price!

Great addition
Dac oil makes a huge difference in horse coat quality and is a wonderful way to get supplements to stick to grain. Super palatable and no more money wasted at the bottom of the grain bucket.
