Hello, thank you Melanie for your reply! I thought that horse plants weren’t reopened in the US? Is horse meat a safe and acceptable/nutritious meat to use in pet food? I thought that it was considered unsafe/unsuitable. How commen is the practice of
Hello, I'm always glad to help you! I'm not sure about horse plants in the US, but I know they have them in New Zealand where I live. Yes, it is safe and acceptable to use in pet food, there are plants here that process horses for pet food. I *believe* a lot of it is sent overseas. I'm not sure how common it is. I hope this helps!

I have a 12 year old horse that needs to gain weight. What grain or feed should I feed him?
Some brands you may wish to try are Triple crown Senior, or Purina Amplify, or Purina Impact senior. Senior diets have more calories and fats than general feeds. You may also wish to supplement with soaked sugar beet. Check for spoilage (mold) in the hay or haylage

Wondering about the equine joint supplement lubrigen is it good bad is it tested
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco! I think Lubrigen is a good supplement as a preventive to help with joint health. If the horse already has joint problems this product probably isn’t going to help that much; however, it won’t hurt to use it. As far as testing goes, the supplements are not regulated by any organization like the FDA so I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s tested. Most companies do their own anecdotal testing but I don’t think I would abide by that. If you’re looking for an actual FDA approved product that has had evidence based testing done, you should ask your vet about using Lengend and/or Adequan. Really, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve. I suggest you talk to your veterinarian directly as they have your horses history and can probably help you make the best choice. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

i tell you what is going on and maybe you can point me in the right direction, i have a quarter horse that is 23 years old and over the last few months she has dropped weight terribly and we have not changed her diet any matter of fact we have upped
Hi there and thanks for using Boop by Petco! My first worry with older horses is their dentition (teeth). If you have never had your horse's teeth floated, it may be time for that. Lost teeth, impactions of feed, uneven wear, etc can all affect how much and how comfortably your mare eats. Your vet can perform this, after an initial exam. Best pulp can be good to put some weight on them, if it's a simple caloric factor. Last but not least, if you haven't dewormed in a while-consider taking in a fecal sample to your veterinarian to be checked. These simple things I try to take care of first, I hope this helps you!

hello, i have a mini who is fat and i am wanting to help him lose weight before it too late. He lives with a 16.3hh horse. Mini is somewhat lame and isnt showung any signs of laminitis other than shortening his walkimg stride. I want to help him lose
Hello, as the owner of several overweight minis, I share your pain. Your pictures do not show a particularly heavy horse, so you have a good place to start. If you have ever been to a mini show, you have to wonder how they get those horses into such amazing shape. Very careful diets are 1 component, exercise is the next & maybe the most important. Those minis are worked, either by hand, or treadmill, or automatic walker non-stop during the show season. You will also need to be very judicious with the hay. Feed no more than 1.5%-2% of his body weight. No grain or pellets, period. And when he goes out on pasture, place a grazing muzzle on him. He will still be able to pick up a bit of grass, & of course drink. Do this, & your mini will look great in a few months. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
