"I looked out the window at my horse grazing in the pasture in the middle of the day. He wasn't twitching his ears, stomping his hooves, or swishing his tail. I can only attribute this to Buggzo. During July in Virginia - Amazing!"

"I have used this product, or the same thing under previous name, for 3 years. I have 5 to 10 horses living in close proximity to my home. There has been a significant reduction in flys, and the need to spray the horses with fly spray. My horses don't like masks and I have not felt the need to use them. This year I am also resuming use of fly predators, which I didn't use last year. There is no waste from this product, unlike powders. I've yet to meet a horse that doesn't like it. Now if I could just figure out a fly control for the cattle."

"This supplement will not keep every single fly from landing on your horse but I'd say my horse has about 90% less flies on him than his pasture mates! That's huge! He loves the taste of the pellets too! I really like not having to worry about a fly mask."

"While it doesn't smell really pleasant, the horses eat it. AND it works! This product combines two of my favorite bug repelling products in to a palatable (to the horses!) pellet. I LOVE the fact that it's pelleted and I don't have to pour it on to their feed.

The product is a tad on the high price side, but for the convenience of it I will stick with it.

My mare is a VERY picky eater. She eats this stuff right up. She is also the one that gets eaten alive by black flies, mosquitoes, etc, etc. She does still get a few bites in her udder area, but for the most part she's bite free.

"I had been giving my mare garlic to help with the small biting gnats in my area which did a tremendous job for her but she HATED the garlic! SO...I saw the Buggzo and decided to give it a try. It works great and my mare gobbles it right up with her grain. I like it so much to keep the bugs under control that I have now started my "bug phobic" gelding on it to!! Great stuff if you want to keep some of the biting bugs off your horse. And they like the taste!!!"

"The flies seem worse this year than in the last few. I tried all the usual sprays ,they do not work very well. So when I saw the ad for Buzzo I thought why not. I did not take two weeks before I noticed marked difference. I been using it for a month now and I have to use very little fly spray. I only wish I had bought it sooner"

"With the threat of lyme disease so prominent today in our horses, I needed to try something new besides bug spray. I do alot of trail riding with my 2 Morgans and the ticks love them , unfortunately.
But , after started to use Buggzo May of 2008 right through Oct. I never found ticks on them. My gelding gobbled up the Buggzo , but my mare being a bit more finicky wasnt' crazy about it....but got used to eating it in her grain. It worked excellent as a tick guard.. Only issue is it's a little pricey, but worth it as far as peace of mind.

Seems to work! July 11, 2008

"I started using this product mid-spring this year in conjunction with fly-predators and have noticed a HUGE decrease in the number of flies on my horses. I know my results aren't due to fly-predators alone, since this is our third summer using those and the first year I've used Buggzo. Except for a few of the huge "deerflies" that are deterred by nothing less than a club, I haven't seen a fly on any of my three horses in weeks."

Not 100%, but good July 11, 2008
By Idaho rider from southern Idaho
Share this Review: Facebook Digg DelIcioUs
"I have used either Bug Check or Buggzo, for a year. I prefer Buggzo because there is no waste. My horses eat it well, some eat it right out of my hand. I top dress my pellets (not sweetened) and it is all eaten. I still use fly spray when I trail ride or if the deer flies are pretty thick, but significantly less than ever before. As far as decreasing breeding of flies, I think it works as well as the fly predators. I have significantly less flies than when I used neither. I also don't need to use fly masks, which my horses do not like. All in all I think it is worth the money."

"I give Buggzo 2 stars only because he (my finicky horse) ate it, but I saw no change in bug habits over the 2 months I used it. This upsets me because he is allergic to lots of biting bugs."

Didn't "WOW" me June 15, 2008
By bthelma from Myakka City, Florida

"I was not that impressed with this product's overall results after using it for 2 months. It may have helped a little, but I still had to use fly spray every day. However, it didn't have a garlic odor, so all but one of my horses ate it right up. Maybe I didn't give it enough time to take effect -- but, I've decided to try a different product in hopes of getting better & faster relief for my horses."

"Started feeding 2 scoops each to my horses for 3 weeks now. Still waiting for it to work. Gnats & mosquitos are still biting the horses. Deer flies and greenheads aren't out yet, but I can't afford to keep using to see if it works against them. I wouldn't mind the awful smell if the product actually worked. Back to the fly spray!"

Stops sweet itch! AMAZING PRODUCT April 8, 2008
By Donna from Cartersville, GA
Share this Review: Facebook Digg DelIcioUs
"My horse looked awful - had bites all over him. A horse with sweet itch looks and is terribly uncomfortable. He had thousands of bites and I was using expensive fly sprays and nothing was working. Then I ordered Buggzo. WOW! It was truly amazing. It starts working right away. Within a few weeks all his bites were gone. I have 2 horses and the others benefited as well. It not only keeps the bugs off, but their coat shines. It builds the immune system too! You'll see small flies around, but they don't stay. It's a 90% reduction in flies! The pesty gnats stop biting! So I think this product is amazing!"

"I started Bug Bam for both of my horses in July. If there is a reduction in flies, it's only on the body ... not on legs and face. And it doesn't do anything to repel the airplane sized horse flies that bite. I can't say I see a big difference between mine and their herd mates who do not get the supplement. I will try it again next year and start earlier. It's no more costly than a bottle of fly spray, and it sure beats soaking the critters in chemicals."
