Is it safe to use horse Marquis left in a cold car overnight?
I think the most reliable source to answer this question would be Merial who manufactures this medication. Call 1-888-MERIAL1, option 2, option 4. This will prioritize and transfer your message to the appropriate party.

What supplements help a boarded horse gain weight without extra meals?
Hi again. Your main source of calories should come from good forage but if that is unavailable, you will need to add more fat to the diet. You can do this with vegetable oils, especially doybrsn oil rather than corn oil. Start with 2 ounces of oil twice daily & gradually build up to 8 ounces twice daily. Another source of fat is stabilized rice bran, which is about 20% fat & is palatable to horses. This is also less messy than an oil. You would feed the same increasing amount as the oil. Watch the manure for any signs of diarrhea or loose stool & back off the fats as necessary. Hope this helps & thanks againfor using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Is Lubrigen a good equine joint supplement? Is it safe and tested?
Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! 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!

What should I feed my dog, cat, and horse, and their water needs?
Dog: A commercial diet food such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. It's best to feed a dog a high quality commercial diet because it is extremely difficult to get the correct balance of nutrients a dog needs to be healthy. A dog should have as much water as they want, and it's best to have a source of fresh water available at all times. Cat: As with cats, a commercial diet is best. Cats are obligate carnivores, and they have to have specific levels of protein as well as essential amino acids in order to be healthy. Cats should never be fed a vegetarian diet as that is fatal to them. I'd recommend a high quality cat food such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. As with dogs, cats should have access to a source of fresh water at all times. Horse: Horses have specific dietary needs because they are herbivores and have a long digestive track. There are three components to a horses diet: forage (hay, grass), concentrates, and supplements. Horses should have at least 50% of their diet be composed of forage. They should have access to water at all times.

My dog has joint issues. What are the best supplements to try?
Dasuquin with MSM and Cosequin DS Plus MSM (both by Nutramax Labs) are excellent products. I prefer these because it is the same company that makes the human product, Cosamin, and one of the few companies that submits its products for outside testing to verify ingredients. The GlycoFlex line of products would also be one to consider. These are my own personal recommendations.
