Customer Reviews for Neigh-Lox

Neigh-Lox

In nature, horses graze and secrete saliva constantly, which buffers the stomach from gastric acid. When horses are stalled, this natural buffering mechanism is disrupted and acid indigestion often results. Neigh-Lox, a pelleted antacid, is designed to restore normal stomach function and promote a normal gastric environment. Neigh-Lox contains coating agents that quickly neutralize excess gastric secretions and protect the stomach.

"I ordered this product after being told by the chiropractic/accupuncture vet that my pony showed sensitivity in his digestive meridian and was at risk for colic. He has been suffering from a painful back injury and I just didn't want to take any chances on him having more trouble so I started him on Neigh-Lox. So far it has been going well and my pony has no problem eating the pellets and no colic!"

"My OTTTB has had bad ulcers for about a year now. Since I cannot afford Gastroguard daily for my horse I surched for something I could afford. After hearing about many products and and trying many, I gave neighlox a try and have had success since day 10. I have also given him free choice of hay. I feed 2 scoops once a day"

"This product has really helped one of our field hunters. He's not as nervous and is eating so much better, and finally putting on weight. It took about 2 weeks to see a difference. We had tried many other products, which he would not eat, but this is the best for the money. This horse is a hard keeper and a very picky eater, but has never refused the Neigh-lox."

"I use Neighlox at times of year when my ulcer-prone horse is under extra stress, for example, at regional championships or in fall when seasonal changes make his stomach sensitive. It's part of a bigger digestive management program by which I aim to support all parts of his gut, from stomach to colon. This includes Succeed, Chia seed, and when necessary, Ulcergard. Overall, I believe that the immediate acid neutalizing provided by the Neighlox helps him a lot, as can been seen by his reduced anxiety and happy eating. He finds it very tasty too!"

"Our mare always showed signs of slight to really bad colic, especially after rides or right after eating. The vet, after hearing all her symptoms, suggested this product. We've been using it for over 6 months and she is doing great. Now that she no longer has pains in her stomach, her disposition is back to the sweet mare she was when we got her."

"My vet reccommended this for my mare after treating her for a gastric ulcer with Gastroguard. I was a little skeptical since she is such a picky eater (she won't eat her feed if I had to put crushed up pills mixed with dried molasses in it!) but Smartpak worked with me and sent me a few samples to try and see if she would eat it. My horse didn't even bat an eye at eating her grain with Neigh-lox! And it has worked great so far at preventing another ulcer from occurring."

Good Product, But Didn't Work for My Guy

"When my OTTB was diagnosed with gastric ulcers, several people suggested this supplement to me (friends, vet, equine masseuse). All said they had seen improvements in horses after 2-4 weeks on the product. My horse was on it for two months and he only continued to get worse. I switched him to SmartGut and after about 2 weeks he was showing significant improvement. Three weeks on the SmartGut and he's almost back to normal. While Neigh-Lox didn't work for my horse, I would still recommend it for ulcers because of how well it worked for all the people who recommended it to me. But I'd probably suggest trying SmartGut first, because that's what ultimately worked for my horse."

"...but I'm not sure yet how "effective" it will be keeping her ulcers at bay.
My mare was diagnosed with Gastric Ulcers on January 17th, and was immediately started on 1 tube daily of GastroGard for 28 days. I also started her on NeighLox as soon as I could get it shipped to me, which was only about two days thanks to SmartPak's excellent shipping! After 28 days we rescoped her, ulcers were shown as completely healed. We discontinued the GastroGard, adn she remained on NeighLox, alfalfa, and Triple Crown Senior. After a few days off the GastroGard, she started slowly losing her appetite again. I did not see that NeighLox kept her entirely comfortable, but they were pretty severe ulcers, so that my be a contributing factor. I put her on a preventative dose of UlcerGard paste for a few days and her appetite came back.
I'm going to keep her on NeighLox at the recommendation of my vet. I'm not sure though, how effective it is at this point with my mare.
I will say that I did the cost comparison of purchasing this via SmartPaks and by the bucket, and it is MUCH cheaper in SmartPaks!"

"My daughters horse who loves to jump was retired off the cross country course because he wasn't jumping right. We had the vet come out and check him out and we found out he had ulcers. We put him on neigh- lox and with in 3 days we could see a remarkable difference. He is all better now and will stay on neigh- lox twice a day as a preventative ."

"I purchased NeighLox for my mare who is on pain meds and had ulcers previously. She stopped eating her supplements/oats entirely when I added it to the mix. I even tried adding molasses to disguise it, but my girl is very picky. I also decided that giving an antacid as an ulcer preventative is not optimal. Free feeding alfalfa has been a better and cheaper solution to keeping her stomach ulcer free while on long term pain meds."

"My horse has gastric issues, eventhough his stomach scope looked great. One tube of Gastroguard per day and he feels fine, without it, I can barely get him to trot once around the arena. Due to the high cost of Gastroguard, I am desperately looking for an alternative. This is not it. Had to put him back on the expensive stuff. Additionally, he really did not like the taste of this either."

"My horse has been on this supplement for around 3 months and *knock on wood* no colic since then. It is very expensive, but so far so good, so I will keep using it for now. I also suggest the Freedom Feeder Small Hole Hay Net for ulcers and colic, as it keeps hay in front of the horse at all times and keeps them busy eating instead of running out of hay."

"I have had my horse on, first - U-Gard powder, then U-Gard pellets and now Neigh-Lox, over the past 6 years. The powder was messy and left everything it touched pink, he did not care for it very much. So I switched to the pellets for awhile, then my vet said the Neigh-Lox was having better results, so I switched to that. It is more expensive than the U-Gard, but my horse eats it better, right out of my hand. He did not do that with the U-Gard. Left it in the bottom of his feed tub, so what good was that doing, absolutlely nothing! I have had no ulcers since starting the Neigh-Lox and his overall demeanor is much more quiet, he seems very happy and enjoys his grain meals again. Happy horse = happy owner!!"

"My gelding was showing classic colic symptoms. I called the vet, took him for a trailer ride, etc. and his symptoms seemed to stop. One week later the exact same thing happened. My vet suggested my horse might have an ulcer. I gave him a week of Ulcerguard and started him on Neighlox. It has been more than a year and he has not had any other episodes."
