"My horse who is not a picky eater didn't like the taste of these. Also I found it to be not as effective as the U guard we had been on before. When I trailer my horse she gets a upset stomach and the U guard kept it in check. So I switched back. I will say I like the fact the product has salt so I don't have to add it to my feed and it is safe for HYPP horses as it has no Potassium."

"He is finicky about eating it by itself, he is on a strictly hay diet. I mixed it with a handful of equine senior and he cleans it up. In the 3 months I have used this product, Bucky has put on weight and had no further episodes of colic. I will re-order another 3 months worth and recommend it to other horse owners as well."

"This is a fantastic product that should be used year round. It encourages drinking, helps the gut absorb water, and has ingredients to soothe the stomach. I've used this product for almost 10 yrs and its the first supplement I put all my horses on. I recommend it to everyone, especially during the winter months!"

"I live in WI and this summer has been a killer so far...day after day of temps in the 90s and the past few days of being well over 100. We are not used to that. I knew we were predicted for a hot and dry summer, and I added this to my horses supplement regimine (they are 23 and 10). It smells like banana, which is a flavor horses go crazy for, and I love combination of the digestive protection, antacid and electrolytes. Several fellow boarders asked me about it. My boys are drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated and no signs of colic (knock on wood) so far. Great multi purpose product and glad I tried it/"

"I like this product and have fed it on and off for years. While the horses I feed it to are healthy and not in distress, they haul a lot - sometimes thousands of miles a year - and move from climate to climate, and they seem to stay healthy and not in distress on this (we do use 1/4 tube gastrogard on the road as well). It feels like inexpensive insurance. While I sometimes do switch to individual sources of electrolytes, GI protection, and prebiotics when I feel like I am really going to stress those areas, I always come back to TractGard as day to day supplement."

"I purchased this product for an OTTB rescue . She came into the barn 300lbs under weight and with ulcers. In the last 6 weeks she has gained weight, and no longer has gut issues. I really like the salt added to this product , it keeps my mare drinking plenty of water, while she is eating extra hay to gain weight. I will use the product on my next rescue as well."

"My horse was textbook for impaction colics. At the change of every spring and fall he would get an impaction. He was never a big drinker and would not eat or drink electrolytes. I started him on tract guard in 2003 and he has been great since. He drinks much better and knock on wood no more impactions. His coat looks better and he is a very happy healthy performance horse. At 19 years of age he is still going strong and running barrels!"

"A friend was given a months supply of Tractgard, and she asked me to look up the product and see what I thought before she gave it to her horse.
I found the product on Smartpak's website, and started reading the other reviews..
We have two horses in our barn with chronic watery stool, the vet is stumped-we have tried everything. So I figured what the heck, and ordered the largest available tub.
Within 12 days both horses had normal stool. I let them run out of Tractgard, and within two weeks both of them had watery stool again. They won't be off the Tractgard again!"

"I started a 5 year old gelding with a history of mild gastric upsets on this product 6 weeks ago. So far, I have not seen any of the usual minor discomfort he used to have every 2 weeks or so. I chose TractGard because of the buffering ingredient, even though this horse has been cleared as not having actual ulcers, and the digestive aides. As of now, I'm a fan and may start a couple of my geriatric cases on it as a preventative measure."

"I really like foxden products. So when I thought my gelding was having possible ulcer problems I started him on it before the vet was able to come out. I found out that his problem was his five year old caps were bothering him and when that was taken care of things settled down. It did seem to help though before the vet was able to get there, so it did help. should I have a real ulcer problem this is one that I will use again."

"I have a 35 year old Arabian gelding with only 5 grinding teeth left and they don't line up with each other. Needless to say, I have this boy on pelleted feed, and have had him on it for about the last 5 years. TractGard has helped to keep his manure consistent and his digestion in good order. I think that this product is very effective."
