My horse will no longer eat
Not sure what has happened but for some reason my gelding will now.no longer eat these pellets. He will eat everything else, but leave a small pile of U Gard pellets at the bottom of his feeder. It's very frustrating because he used to gobble them up. No win going to have to change him to something else. I at first thought it might have been just one batch of the vitamins, but no, it's been I think 3 months now, so it's time to switch.

U-Gard Works wonders !!!
I’ve been giving this to all 3 of my horses for a month now. What a difference!! All 3 have benefited in different ways. My 21 yr old mare acts happy again, and isn’t so touchy. My 15 yr old mare is not salivating like a Saint Bernard anymore, and my 13 yr old mare was diagnosed with ulcers, and is now back to her sweet self. She is growing a beautiful coat again, and has her focus back. All 3 of them seem happy all the time, not the grumpy, don’t bother me, I was getting from them every now and then. What makes it even better, they will eat it right out of my hand !!!!!

Good results
I was skeptical of this product due to its affordability, seeing as I had tried other more expensive products without luck. After about a week of use, I started to see improvements. My horse who could be irritable under saddle (kicking at stomach, tail swishing, refusing to move forward) hasn’t exhibited these behaviors and is much more willing to move forward under saddle. He just overall appears more comfortable. This product hasn’t completely cleared up the fecal water issue that this horse occasionally has, but I do believe there’s been some improvement with this since starting the product.

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.

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.

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 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!

Seemed to help
I sent my mare to a boarding stable for two weeks. When she came home she wasn’t her normal easy going self. She seemed grumpy and out of sorts. I put her on the U-guard pellets for two months and will put her back on them anytime she is under stress.

I started my mare on this a month ago and I'm so glad she did. After being diagnosed with ulcers and treated this helps her belly stay happy

meh.
I bought this 5 weeks ago. Horse ate it well. Was hoping to prevent ulcers and improve comfort. (Horse is not really in constant work). Rode her a few times, symptoms of discomfort increased. (girthy, not wanting to go forward- those are her ulcer signs) after 5 weeks on U guard- so I now I am treating her for ulcers. so no I don't recommend this product.

Just plain Works!
I love this stuff, I took my OTTB off of it for about a year because he wasnt in consistent work and then we started back in training at the beginning of this year. He has never had trouble keeping on weight (hes actually a very easy keeper) or tacking up but he has been agitated under saddle and would have issues focusing. We put him on smart calm ultra in the summer, which helped, but he kept having random, explosive episodes and he would get keyed up after trying to teach him a new movement in dressage and was very hot off my leg and would get super anxious if I had to use more than a tiny bit of leg to ask. I got a second horse, who I knew was ulcery, so I was putting him on U-Gard and decided to try it again on Tory. OH MY GOSH the first day he had it I was "pony club kicking" him to get him just to trot! he is a much happier horse and he has only had it for a few weeks! Tory will keep this in his supplements from now on!
bonus points this stuff is really budget friendly too!!

I bought this for my horse who is prone to developing ulcers. Although not the pickiest eater, she can turn her nose up at some supplements. She ate this with no problems and the results have been great!
