Okay results, but not picky-eater approved
I tried this with my previous horse who was a very picky eater, and he absolutely would not touch his grain when I added it in. So when I got my new mare last year, I was happy that she was a more willing eater and tried this again. She did pretty well with it last summer, and I noticed she stomped and swished her tail somewhat less than the other horses that lived out in the field with her, although she still regularly needed fly spray. And I do think the Omega-3 helped her over the winter so she stayed in better condition. But this spring when it switch back to the Bug-Off, she stopped finishing her grain. I think since she's now a good weight compared to when I got her, she can be a little pickier about her food. And it's more important to me that she finishes her grain and her other supplements, so I had to take this one out of her plan.

Great summer support!
SmartBug-Off Ultra Pellets have been key during the brutally hot summer this year! I have a very sensitive OTTB who can be very opinionated about the buggy summers. Unfortunately, my horse is not able to wear a fly sheet due to sweating issues. I was in desperate need of something to give him support! I started my horse on SmartBug-Off Ultra Pellets last summer and was impressed with how he was more noticeably comfortable this summer! My horse is also a very, very picky eater so I was concerned that he would refuse to eat a supplement with ingredients such as apple cider vinegar and garlic. My horse did not notice the added supplement one bit! I will definitely be continuing SmartBug-Off Ultra Pellets each summer to ensure he remains happy and less irritated by the pesky flies!

Maybe not
These pellets might keep bugs from biting, but having fed them since June, there are still flies and mosquitos
on my horses.
The mosquitos are biting. These do not repel green heads at all.

Great bug support!
I was looking for a product that would support my horse during the summers especially in turnout. He is a sensitive thoroughbred that HATES bugs. We spray him with fly spray every morning before turning him out but I was hoping to add an additional level of defense. I love that his product has a three multi-step approach. With garlic and apple cider it helps prevent the bugs from biting, and the MSM and omegas help keep his skin healthy. What more could you ask for? This is a summer must!

Flies are gone
I do not want to jinx things but so far into hot weather, fly season SmartBug-Off Ultra pellets are working. Ike just gobbles them up

No tail ticks!
Last April and May, I was battling a series of ticks in my horse's tail. I detest these pests, especially removing them.
This year, I started my horse on SmartBug-Off pellets in March. I reasoned that it would take a little while to ramp up the effect.
Knock on wood, I have had no problems with ticks. He is still bugged by regular flies, although there seem to be fewer of them.

Does not seem to work for us
My BO does all the right things to control the flies but they are still awful and my horse is very sensitive to them. I haven't really noticed a change since starting this supplement about a month ago. It does have a pretty strong smell (reminds me of soy sauce actually) but he eats it just fine.

Smells gross
Unfortunately, I bought 2 big things of this thinking it would help. My horse I'd a picky water and we've had success in the past with "picky eater approved" bug pellets, but NOT this one. I'm struggling bad to get my mare to eat her food and she is refusing to finish her food now, even when I'm trying to disguise the smell with ground carrots, cinnamon and apples. So not only is she not finishing her food, she's not getting the amount of OTHER SUPPLEMENTS that she needs either. I've used about 3 weeks worth now of one of the tubs out of 2 big rubs I spent a lot of Montreal in. What a huge waste of money

So far so good!
I bought this a little over a month ago to get my horse started on it before fly season kicks in and so far so good! Looking forward to seeing how he does this summer on it!

Not for discerning eaters
Probably a well made and researched product like all Smart supplements but none of my horses will eat it
