"Wonderful product. Jake gives Vita-Biotin Crumbles a great two hooves up! The biotin Plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins and his hooves are doing great. A added bonus is my picky boy now eats his entire meal ... he loves the taste!"

"I used this product over 10 yrs. ago for awhile, then followed "fashion" and went to various hoof products over the years until about 6 mos. ago. I switched back to Vita-Biotin because my horses in general have good feet and this was more economical--plus I hadn't noticed any real difference between this and the other products over the years. Also, at about the same time my 26-yr-old gelding, who has Cushings, experienced severe hoof-trimming problems due to 2 bad trims and development of a severe case of thrush prior to returning to Vita-Biotin. He has done extremely well on this product, and with a change of farrier, has grown back hoof wall and developed tougher soles in much less time than I expected. Also, his coat quality has improved. My other two horses look great, too. In addition, each of my horses are on other supplements which come in powdered form, so having this product made in crumbles ensures they will each eat all of it! Glad I switched back!"

"I have been using this product since I was 14 and I am now almost 30.Always nice results of an overall heathy looking horse with dapples and nice hoofwalls. Seems to add a bit of sparkle to the horses eye as well! I use this everyday and generally use only the half ounce. I also use the vita-plus multi vitamin by farnum. The biotin I feed daily and use the the multi vitamin every other day and only an ounce of that. Great combo with great overall results of health, attitude,hooves and coat. Keep in mind my horses are on great pasture and do recieve a pound of fortified grain daily. When they are competing I give more grain."

"This is probably the least expensive hoof supplement on the market. It contains a very low level of biotin per ounce and no other ingredients, which (judging by previous reviews) works fine for some horses. If Vita-Biotin does NOT improve your horse's hoof quality, though, don't give up on hoof supplements in general. Some horses (such as mine) will need a higher level of biotin combined with DL-methionine at the very least. Also, it can take anywhere from several shoeing cycles to six months to see a difference from any hoof supplement. Finding the right one can take time and patience! One advantage to feeding Vita-Biotin, in addition to its price, is that it comes in crumbles that most horses will eat readily. So, particularly if you're on a tight budget, it's worth a try."

"I used to give my 4 year old Friesian cross Horse Shoer's Secret. He does not have a real hoof problem, his hooves are actually pretty strong. The farrier however suggested I keep him on it because it would help him develop stronger hoof walls as his grows. I found that this product does pretty much the same thing the other one was doing for a fraction of the cost. We have been using it for 3 months now, my horse's hooves and coat look amazing! Definitely worth the money."

"For the price, you can't beat plain old biotin crumbles. Very palatable and does just what it should do without all the fluff of an expensive hoof supplement. My farrier says my horse's hooves have improved since having started using this formula."

"The crumble form is easier for horse to eat from food tray with no waste like you get from powder. Hooves are strong - little chipping and no lost shoes."

"My horse only needed a biotin supplement, not all the other stuff that's in other hoof supplements so this was the perfect choice. It gets the job done & it's affordable! I will definitely be keeping him on it :)"

"I used this product with my last horse and it did wonders for her hooves. They were always dry and brittle and always had thrush and were healthy and strong after I switched her to this supplement. It's cheap and it's edible (for the horse)! I just purchased it again for my new horse."

"Vita-Biotin Crumbles is definitely the best biotin product out there. I switched my foundered mare over to this product just over 3 months ago from another biotin supplement and found that she had more growth in the first month on the crumbles than in a few months on the other supplement! Her hooves look great and this is defintely the best out there!"

"I have had amazing results with the Vita-Biotin Crumbles! I got my Thoroughbred off of the track about 14 months ago, and have been using this supplement ever since. He had terrible hooves, with long toes and low heels, quarter cracks, and chunks missing. After just six months the quarter cracks were gone and his hooves looked much stronger and healthier. Now, his hooves are in perfect condition! I think Vita-Biotin Crumbles can help ANY horse have fantastic hooves, no matter what condition they are in!"
