Springtime Horse Products Can Be Given to Dogs
Simply adjust the dosage.
Did you know that all of Springtime’s horse products are also good for dogs? The only difference is in the smaller dosing. Economy sizing, greater product selection and limited ingredients for dogs with certain food sensitivities are a few of the benefits of selecting Springtime horse supplements for your dog. Many of our customers enjoy purchasing the bigger sizes because they may have larger dogs or multiple dogs. This enables them to order less frequently, and take advantage of greater savings because the larger the size, the more economical the product becomes per dose. Some customers require a supplement for their dogs that is only offered as a horse product, such as the DMG 5,600. This product is very popular with owners of athletic or competition dogs to reduce lactic acid build-up in muscles and maintain healthy oxygenation during training and competition. Products that are not currently packaged for dogs aren’t available with a dog scoop, but we do supply directions in teaspoon measurements (see below). Using powdered horse supplements may often help a dog owner skip a step who has to routinely grind up the dog chewables for one reason or another. Some dogs are very picky, and the powder may be easier to hide in wet food. Or, some older dogs have very sensitive teeth, and it may be difficult for them to chew any kind of hard kibble or chew. Food sensitivities are a big issue with some canines. For example, some dogs can be allergic to beef liver, which is found in many of our chewables. But since there is no beef in any of our horse products, customers can still get the benefit of many of Springtime’s active ingredients without this worry, making for a much happier pooch and owner. The correct dosing for dogs can be found under the red “Directions” tab on the product page. Customers are always welcome to request a free dog scoop (if available) in the comments section of the checkout page.
