"My vet recommended this product and specifically told me to get it through Smart Pak! I called the company and they walked me through the monthly procedure to have this delivered. My horse is very picky and I was worried he'd leave it in his bucket. He doesn't leave any behind and has shown great improvement. It is costly, but well worth it!"

"My horse had no problem eating this, but I began with the prescribed dose and he stopped eating within two days. I stopped it for a few days and began with a small fraction and built up gradually. This worked much better. He is currently struggling with what I hope is only the Pergolide Fog I had heard about."

"Great product, soooo expensive. Pony shed out satisfactorily after dose increase from 0.5gms. to 1.5gms. Lab work to determine dosage needed is not cheap either!"

"Having measured quantities saves time in the tack room. it also takes the guess work out of dosages on a daily basis... having individual doses is definitely more sanitized than dipping a scoop into medication over and over, risking contamination. the only down side to the packets is the consistency of the pergolide from the product i receive from rom my vet, which is denser. the packeted pergolide is finer and more of a lite powder that "poofs" out when the top is pulled back. I add flax seed to the mixture to try & give it substance to keep it on top of the supplements & prevent the powder from dropping to the bottom of the feed bucket. I would prefer a more dense prowder that holds on to the pellets to ensure it is consumed and not blown out of the bucket."

"The horse I bought was already on pergolide so I just kept her on it, she eats it but not very fast, so I wish there would be an easier way for me to give it to her, being I am always on the run! Otherwise I love it it really helps with her condition!"

Very Senior Horse & Pergolide

April 10, 2012
Byronald
Expertise:Trainer
"Our vet prescribed Pergolide for our very senior Thoroughbred who suffers from Cushing's Disease, like so many other aging equines. Rather than continue to order through the vet's office our bi-monthly supply, we found SmartPak's willingness to include Pergolide in the horse's monthly supplements to be a real time-saver! It's maintaining our 29-year-old on an even keel."

"I recently switched to smartpaks of pergolde powder from the compounded syrup form. I am VERY happy with the change. My mare's health seems better - no signof lameness which we sometimes dealt with on the former preparation."

"Now that I have a horse on Pergolide, SmartPak has simplified an additional and very important daily chore. What can be easier than pouring one pak a day in to my mare's morning feed? Plus, I don't have to worry about running out. SmartPak has my address on "auto". I'm sold. Appreciate the refreshing SmartPak staff who take my calls in a friendly and professional way."

"We had an older mare that never shed and was having chronic laminitis.....our vet suggested Pergolide. We got the product from Smart Paks and it has changed her so much. She shed her hair, and is no longer foundering. It has made her quality of life SO MUCH better. Thank you, Smart Paks!!"

"I had done quite a bit of research on pergolide for treating the older horse with Cushings. Working with my vet we put my 32 year old gelding on pergolide for symptom management of Cushings disease. He seems so much more comfortable and he is on a very very low dose. Smart Pak made it easy with a shipment every month in a little pack that we just pour over his food"

"My Daisy is a very picky eater and when I had to start giving her Pergolide I tried the apple flavor because she likes apples. She wouldn't take it no matter what we did so I called the people at Smart Pak and they were very helpful suggesting I try the alfalfa flavor and it worked. She takes it with no problems. The price is fantastic and it always arives on time.
Everyone at SmartPak has been veryhelpful with sending any samples I ask for so that I never waste money on something Daisy won't accept. Thank you all."

"My 30-something warmblood gelding has earned his retirement. Love that he gets to take advantage of the perfect barn and lovely turnout. But best ever that he gets relief from his aging/Cushing symptoms with SmartPak Pergolide (prescription) supplements. Saw the help one per day gave to him. Then, when the aging advanced, twice per day is doing the trick. He is mobile, interested in life, and the best friend of everyone at the barn. Thanks to my best friend who watches over him, my vet who has his best interest at heart, and my barn owner who provides a great place for his retirement."

"After years of laminitis and founder problems, despite how carefully we managed our Paso Fino, Rowdy, we were desperate to find a solution. Our vet recommended Pergolide and the results were quickly noticeable. Then she suggested getting them from Smart Pak - another great call! To have them arrive right on time so we never miss a dose is a big part of the program. Like everyone else, we would get to the last scoop and then be in a panic to get another container immediately. Thanks, Smart Pak!"
