Great for my horse with stomach ulcers!
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!

I have beenn using this product to help my horses with their digestive health and help their upset tummies. This product seems to be working great and my horses seems to eat them with no problem. They are just the right size for feeding There is no strong odor with this product. The container also comes in a easy, air tight seal.

Horse pellets
The U-guard horse pellets was loved by my horses. The container is a good size and is easy to open. It keeps the pellets fresh as well. The product does seems to work and I will buy this product for my horses. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It Works!!
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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Horse approved!
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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great product
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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Worked Great
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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Works great!
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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I used this product to help my horses with their digestive health and help their upset tummies. This product seems to be working great and the horses eat them no problem. They are just the right size for easy feeding and measuring! There is no strong odor along with the product. The container also comes in a easy, air tight seal.

Great product
I needed a product to help our miniature horse stallion from getting ulcers when we removed him from his band of mares. U-Gard did that and he didn't have an ulcer episode this fall. Easy to feed and no sorting out either. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a problem with ulcers in their horses. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great Value
These are very palatable, my horse eats them easily. Also works very well. Great value for ulcer prevention!
Used to use this supplement all the time and kind of forgot about it. Happy to have found my way back to it!

Working well
It really seems to be helping my horse with his cranky issues that have possibly come from ulcers. Hes eating his feed well again and his attitude is much better.

I have an appendix mare that always had ulcer issues when i bought her. We treated her multiple times with omeprazole and had her on the smartpak succeed for awhile. The succeed helped greatly but it’s really pricey to keep a horse on. I switched her over to the u-guard pellets since they were more price friendly and it works just as good. For a horse that is always going to have ulcer issues and needs constant maintenance for them, i highly recommend this product!

My “no so picky eater” won’t eat it
Picky eater approved? No! My gelding is not a picky eater and I have trouble getting him to eat it. When I first received it my husband opened the canister and then said to me “are you sure he’s going to eat this”? I then inspected the product and it smells like spoiled fish oil. I split the daily dose in two and mix it with his alfalfa pellets. If he is REALLY HUNGRY he’ll eat it. Would I reorder? No.

My horse has been on UGuard for a little over a month, along with MegaCell. Her temperament has improved 110%, and she’s so much easier to work with!
