What are the ingredients in Dodson & Horrell Hoof Support?
The ingredients include Alfalfa, Limestone Flour, Rape Oil, Mint, and Basil.
How long will a tub of Hoof Support last?
This depends on the size of the tub (1.5kg or 3kg) and the amount you feed your horse daily. Calculate the duration based on your horse's weight and the recommended dosage.
Where should I store the supplement?
Store the supplement in a cool, dry place and ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use.
Is Dodson & Horrell Hoof Support suitable for all horses?
The supplement is designed for horses needing hoof support. However, consult with your vet if your horse has any specific dietary needs or health concerns.
