Helped my horse's stool problems due to hay change
I started this for my senior gelding several months ago and it has made a huge difference! He's a very sturdy horse and has had no colicky issues since I bought him over 14 years ago, but as he's aged I've noticed that every time we get a new crop of hay, he gets loose stool that can make him quite uncomfortable for a while until he gets used to that cutting. It would leave runs between his legs and all over his tail that would irritate his skin, requiring frequent baths and cream to keep from itching/burning. I decided to try out SmartGI Ultra pellets to help balance out his gut better after these diarrhea spells, and after about a month or so on it, he started having textbook worthy poops! Even with multiple hay cuttings cycling through the barn, he has consistently had perfect piles, and I'm sure he's got to be feeling a lot better now too.

So far, so good!
After treating grade 4 ulcers in our OTTB, the vet recommended this supplement to keep his gut in check after the ulcers fully healed. It's been 6 months and so far, so good! I won't be discontinuing this if this is what we need to keep our guy happy and healthy! Thank you for making such a wonderful product!

Great ingredients, not palatable
The ingredients were just what I was looking for and comprehensive for the entire GI tract. But my horse will not eat this.
She is extremely picky to be fair. I would have loved the colic care coverage but I had to throw this away because if the horse
won't eat it, it's not doing a thing for her.

Won't eat it
My horse ate this supplement for a short time, and then started spitting it out. I mix it with sweet feed and he still won't eat it.

Great results
After trying other products that did not work I was so glad to find SmartGI Ultra Pellets! . Sienna is an aged QH mare whose poop looked like a cows! Started using this product about 6 months ago and she has "road apples" again and seems calmer. Very pleased with results! Thank you for great product!

I haven't had the new SmartPaks before yesterday so I honestly can't give you a review.

Excellent ulcer prevention supplement
My standardbred retired harness racer had very bad ulcers and went through the normal medical protocol for it and my vet recommended GI ultra and he’s been on it now for 2 months and he’s doing great. It has every ingredient that is good for coating the stomach and huns gut and he’s doing great!

Finally normal guy sounds. No more sandy beach.
I rescued an old tb mare from a kill pen a year ago. I have tried multiple supplements to get rid of her sand buildup. This one finally did the trick. We are back to echoey toilet sounds instead of an ocean.

Tummy Troubles Gone and Dapples are Back!
My 3 yo developed fecal water and soft stools in August. Our vet put her on soaked hay and SmartGI Ultra Pellets. 6 weeks later she has a shiny coat with dapples that really pop. Her stool is solid and the fecal water issue has stopped. She loves the pellets and they are easy to feed. The insurance policy is a comfort even if we hope we never have to use it. Our subscription is now part of her regular care.
