Did not work
I have received 3 shipments and have not seen any improvement with the flies. Plus I believe my horse is allergic to the bug off formula as he has had a running nose with yellow discharge 2 days after I started. I had high hopes for this product as flies are horrible this year.

This works!
My appaloosa gelding has almost no mane or tail, so he needs every bit of help fighting the summer bugs! I noticed an almost immediate change once i started using this supplement. It doesn't keep all of the bugs off but i would say at least 3/4 of the small biting gnats etc no longer bite him!

No horseflies!
My first summer using this and I have yet to see a single horsefly on Levi. He still gets pestered by stable flies, but it’s so nice not having those huge greenies chewing on him!
With only one horse, I tried the bulk pack but he got fussy about eating the last third in the bag. No issues with palatability when fed via smartpac.

We love smart bug off ultra!!
We’ve been buying this product all summer long as it has helped our horses stay comfortable even with flies in their midst. We very rarely will have to spray them with fly spray as the smart bug off ultra keeps the flies at bay.

Maybe the flies in my area like garlic.....
I had my horse on Smart BugOff (not ultra) and it was totally ineffective. So I tried BugOff Ultra. It was equally ineffective for the first several days, then my horses were mobbed by flies for a few days. I stopped the BugOff and the flies went back to a normal level. Flies levels rise and fall, and it has been a late but intense fly season in my area, so I can't say for certain that this supplement attracted flies (though it seemed like it did), but it definitely didn't do anything to reduce or repel them. Big waste of money. As for the 100% satisfaction guarantee - I paid for 3 months of BugOff and one month of BugOff Ultra. I was only refunded for 2 months of BugOff. So really it is more like a 50% guarantee. (I used BugOff for so long before requesting a refund/upgrading to Ultra because we had a cold spring and fly season started later than expected, and I wanted to give the supplement plenty of time to take effect. Obviously in retrospect I should have just cancelled after 2 months and not bothered with Ultra.)

Smartbug-off ultra
Results were not as good as I had hoped. Still had to spray for flies, although there were fewer bites and fewer tick bites. So, there was some improvement. But, whether the cost was worth it, jury is still out. Ki

Bugs
I purchased 2 months and didn’t see any change with the bugs. Almost seems like they are more attracted to my mare.
However bug season is bad due to all the rain

Doesn’t work
I purchased this product a while ago and started using it on 3 horses in March. It seemed to work ok but now 3 months later it doesn’t work at all. Flies are still bothering my horses. Waste of money.

You can tell a difference
I board my horse who are not on any bug off supplements. My mare has been on this for 2 months now. I can tell a difference compared to the amount of flies on my horse vs the other horse. They still land on her but the flies don't swarm me like they do when I stand next to the other horses. This is not the cure all as I still have to have my horse in fly boots and a fly mask but I can indeed tell a difference.

Smart Bug-Off Ultra is an absolute WINNER!!!!!
I started this a month ago, after trying everything I have access to. I have a 12 year old Friesian mare who has basically been allergic to bugs her entire life. I have tried everything available to me and this is the 1st item that I have seen a real difference. I would turn her out with a fly mask, fly sheet, and covered in fly spray and she would still come in the next morning covered in welts. Since I started her on SmartBug-Off it is a different story and I am loving it!!!

No noticeable effect
Can't say this stuff works. I don't see my horses any less bothered by the flies, no-see-ums, etc. Harmless and makes the barn smell garlicly but probably won't buy again.

Works great!
After one month I'm very happy with the results. His coat is so shiny. Tried many topical products last year for the "dandruff" in his mane and tail with no success. This product, after one month has cleared it up. I'm assuming that the flies are not biting as his tail looks great, no rubbing. Will watch more of the next month and see if there are any other changes. The smell is quite strong, but the doesn't seem to mind it.

Really Works to Keep Gnats & Flies away
We are having a horrible year for gnats. This product has been keeping my horse comfortable. When you stand next to her there are no gnats and I haven't had to put on a fly mask yet. The gnats are swarming me but not her. She's a picky eater but she cleans it right up. So glad I picked this year to give it a try!

These pellets do a fantastic job in keeping the flies away from my horses and used together with the spray, they are comfortable all bug season!

Didn’t deter the flies at all
My horse was on the smart bug off ultra for over a year with no signs of relief from biting flies. My horse has patches of hair missing and scabs from biting insects. I used the smart bug off ultra in conjunction with fly spray and swat cream.

Successful so far
I noticed last summer that my beloved senior was becoming more sensitive to bugs. Our barn is not overly "buggy" but he was still being eaten alive with bites all over him. I purchased SmartBug-Off Ultra on sale, thinking hey it's worth a shot, it certainly can't hurt and maybe it will help. They have a very strong garlic scent to them, which I don't mind, and he apparently doesn't either! He is the pickiest of picky eaters, and I'm pleased that he eats these pellets every morning with no complaint. We're not truly into bug season yet, but so far the bugs that are out seem to be leaving him alone. I will definitely continue to supplement him with these pellets through the summer. And the price can't be beat!

Effectively working
The first month there was a noticeable difference with the flies. Now, on the second month, increased effectiveness with flies. My mare is Appendix QH and very sensitive to flies, so far very pleased with the Ultra .

Horses picked through their feed and did not eat
Horses didn’t eat it when mixed into their food. They left a lot of their feed In their bucket. And didn’t notice less flies on them so I don’t know how long it takes to get in their system before working

Very palatable .
I have a mare that is a very pick eater and she tolerates this well. I’m not sure how much of the decrease of no see- um bites is due to this product, the smart itch ease, and the fly sheet with neck and belly coverage. But I can say her chest, belly, and groin skin has never looked better!

Bonus Use
I have been using this for about 3 years because I have one horse that is a fly and tick magnet. My horses are in open pasture and it helps with the flies. I usually stop using it for the winter months when there are no flies. This winter the ticks were really bad, so I started using the product again. Within about 3 days their tick
problem was completely eradicated.

Swear by this stuff!
I have a thoroughbred who loathes anything with wings. I put him on it in March and have him on it until about November (we live in the South--you never know what the temperatures or flies are going to do!). I absolutely LOVE what it does to his coat...it especially helps him look extra sleek/handsome as his summer coat comes in. He has a total different attitude when the flies keep their distance and I consider this my secret weapon.
