Trying My Best from
Used for a month, saw a difference
My horse was very slightly off in a way that had my trainer and me scratching our heads. He wasn't lame but he wasn't moving like himself. Then his body worker, whom he LOVES, reported that he warned her off when she tried to work his lower stomach near his hips. They put their heads together and decided he had ulcers. I gulped when I saw the price of standard ulcer treatments for even just one month and since I wasn't entirely convinced he did have ulcers (because he hadn't tried to tell me to stay away when grooming or blanketing) I went to the Smartpak site to see what they had to say. I found this supplement and figured at this price I had nothing to lose. Within a couple of weeks my trainer was delighted with how he was moving again and his body worker just reported that he was his usual teddy bear self so I guess it did the trick! I will say though that the Smartpak web page says "28 day supply" but the dosage is weight based so if you have a big horse as I do, it will only last you about three weeks.

Both my thoroughbreds have been happier since beginning U-Guard recommended by our Vet. Smartpaks site is easy to order from and auto ship is super convenient!

Working great!
I've had my arabian gelding on this about three months and he's not as girthy anymore when I saddle up and he stands still better when I groom him and is not as hot when we ride the trails. We only do light rides as he has heaves. I'm adding a hindgut supplement and see how he does on that.

So easy
My horse has been having ulcer issues. The vet recommended this. I’m so happy with the results. Easy to feed pellets. Not a lot of volume to the amount that needs to be fed.

Great Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these and just in time too cause my vet recommended I give these to my horses. Saw immediate positive results after 7-9 days. These are now given daily with their vitamins in the morning and should help going further.

Absolutely amazing product!
I bought this back in July as a last resort for my 11yo thoroughbred. I feel like I tried everything to get him to gain weight and nothing was working. He was on this product for a month and his weight and attitude during grooming changed drastically (nobody likes their bones brushed)

Great Supplement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fall and winter have been hard on my older mares stomach. The last two years, she had colic symptoms and numerous vet visits. No reason could be found for her discomfort, even after trailering her to our state veterinary school for a scope. I had a very unhappy mare until Spring and green grass. This winter, I added U-Gard to her daily ration. She loves the taste and doesn't leave a speck in her feed tub. She hasn't had any stomach discomfort and best of all, no vet visits. U-Gard pellets will be a permanent part of her care.

Great Help
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received this product, I was really anxious and excited to try them on my horses. Given how I take my babies on trail rides every year and have not missed a beat. I am sure that these pellets will contribute to their health during those long trail ride trips, given how the usage of only a week; I've already see the amazing results in their coats, manes, and energy during the days spent with them.

Great for calming the stomach!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 17 yr old barrel racer. He gets really worked up before a run. At the alley he will rear up and hop into the arena until I let him loose. He ends up with such an upset stomach, that I was actually thinking about retiring him. A friend suggested I try U-Guard pellets and I am SO HAPPY I did!!! His stomach issues have gone away since taking this (about 3+ weeks now). He still acts a fool at the start of a run, but it doesn't leave him in pain and hurting!

It really works!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the CORTA-FLX - U-Gard Pellets a few months ago to try on my horse. We have had issues with him being colic and not eating often at all. My Vet recommended CORTA-FLX - U-Gard Pellets to mix in with some grain twice a day. After a week I noticed what seemed like progress. So I continued twice a day and with in a month my horse is so much better. He has his appetite back and doesn’t appear to be sick!! I will continue to give my horse CORTA-FLX - U-Gard Pellets twice a day probably forever. I am so impressed with the results and really like that it helps my horses stomach and any ulcers he may have. I highly recommend you try if your horse is under the weather. It may save you a big vet bill.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After just one month of using these I can tell a MAJOR difference in my horses. It definitely helps their guts. They regulary go to the bathroom without struggles. And it also looks normal now! Extra helpful now that its winter.

So far, so good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our show horse tends to get ulcer like symptoms, especially in the winter when he’s stalled more often due to inclement weather. I’ve been too dressing his food with these pellets for nearly a month now, and he seems more content. I need to feed them a few months before giving an accurate review more long term, but I’m happy with the product as it stands now. He doesn’t pick the pellets out from his grain, so they must taste good too!

Work Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ulcers in horses is such a common issue and can lead to a plethora of problems including colic which is why I feed my horses these pellets daily. I feel comfortable knowing they support a balanced pH and my horses love them.

Works well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 18 yo gelding starting showing discomfort around his stomach. He was overall more moody and wanted to be ridden less and less. I'm so glad we tried out this product! This added to his diet made a noticeable difference in his overall mood. He eventually got back to being his normal amazing self again!

Great horse product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time having to use CORTA-FLX U-Gard pellets for my horses. I have been using these U-Gard pellets on my 30 year old Shetland Pony and my 21 year old Palomino Appendix. U-Gard has definitely been helping them with their stomachs. Now that they are older their stomach are becoming more sensitive. I will be using this product from now on.

Great for my horse with stomach ulcers!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pellets are lifesavers! I have to give one of my horses multiple medications and she has a tendency to get stomach ulcers. Incorporating the U-guard pellets into her diet helps ease the risk of developing them and puts my mind at ease that I’m doing a good job as a horse parent!

It Works!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't thank this company enough for this great product. I have a four year old mare who started acting very finicky about a month ago. She wouldn't let me get on her to ride and she would make a real fuss when she just saw the saddle coming towards her. I called my vet and she came out and it ended up being an ulcer. She is more of a naturalistic vet and immediately told me about this product, I tried it and it worked and it only took a few days to notice a difference, she is now back to her happy self. Great stuff.

Horse approved!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My horse seems to rather enjoy this. I tried giving it alone, and by itself. Both ways were successful to administer, and she seemed to like it well! I'm quite picky on what I give to my girls, but this is pet mom approved! Seems to help with digestion, and her stomach upset and issues. She's a bit older and set in her ways, so I was surprised she took a liking to it. Definitely have to recommend this to my fellow horse owners!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Spirit is one happy horse. As she gets older I worry about her digestive health. The U-Gard Pellets help maintain gastric health and stomach pH. It even has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. My horse and I couldn't be happier.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I noticed my horses were acting weird. One seemed to be protecting the other who was generally grouchy and irritable. Started using these and noticed a difference pretty quickly. They both love this as if it was a treat. A+ product, likely saved me hundreds in vet bills.

Worked Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mare was acting very girthy and moody. My Massage and laser therapist came out and said tha she was very reactive in the pressure points for ulcers. I started her on Ugard two weeks ago now and I'm already seeing a significant improvement. My mare is super picky about supplements going on her food and she eats this one with no problem. Will definitely continue using it.

Works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for a show horse we have that gets a few ulcers due to the stress of showing and hauling. They work great and are a great alternative to some of the more expensive treatments for ulcers. These are a must have if you are dealing with ulcers or just want to feed something for preventative maintenance.
