Designed to promote digestive health by assisting in the removal of sand from the gut, it's ideal for horses grazing in sandy environments. However, consistent use is key for optimal results, and it's always advisable to consult with a vet.

Available in two sizes, Sand Shifter also includes aniseed flavoring for palatability.
