Intestinal worms are a common issue for dogs and cats, and unfortunately, no furry friend is entirely immune. These parasites feed off the waste products in your pet’s digestive system, and while most dogs and cats will encounter worms at some point in their lives, it’s important to keep them in check to avoid any health issues.

Leaky Gut in Horses

1 May, 2024

What is leaky gut? Leaky Gut Syndrome in horses is a condition where the lining of the horse’s intestinal tract becomes damaged, leading to increased intestinal permeability. This means that substances that would normally be contained within the gut, such as toxins, bacteria, and undigested food particles, can pass through the compromised gut lining and enter the bloodstream. This condition can lead to a variety of health issues due to systemic inflammation and immune system reactions. Causes and Contributing Factors Several factors can contribute to the development of Leaky Gut Syndrome in horses: High-sugar intake from grazing green grass can…

Grass Choices: Which is best for our Horses

20 June, 2023

Understanding Horse’s Digestive Needs Horses possess a unique digestive system that thrives on a continuous supply of nutrient-dense, high-fibre forage. This forage is digested through fermentation in the hindgut, providing essential nutrients and energy. Impact of Grass Moisture Content The moisture content of grass significantly affects fibre intake. Green grass typically has lower fibre content compared to dry, mature grass. Horses grazing on lush grass day & night, without adequate fibre are at risk of imbalances in their gut microbiome. A horse’s hindgut is a fermentation vat that digests fibre, producing fatty acids for energy and absorption of essential nutrients….

Grasses & The Problems They Present

18 April, 2023

Grasses are a common component of a horse’s diet, but not all grasses are created equal. Some grasses can contain compounds that cause symptoms and health issues in horses. In this article, we’ll explore some of the common grasses that can cause problems for horses. Fluorescing pigments are found in some grasses, such as rye, clover, lucerne, St John’s wort, buttercup, and plantain. These pigments give the grass a dark green color, but they can also cause photophobia and photosensitization in horses. Horses that consume these grasses may develop symptoms such as mud-fever and sunburn. Oxalate is another compound that…

Worms ~ How long do they survive on Pasture?

30 March, 2023

Hint: It’s longer than you think. The lifecycle of many gastrointestinal parasites of livestock and horses (in particular, those of the Strongyle family) is such that a vast majority of the worm’s life may be spent on pasture. After eggs are shed in the manure, the eggs will develop and hatch into larvae. These larvae will then further develop, going through stages known as moults. Eggs will hatch into L1 (stage one larvae), which will moult to L2 (stage two larvae), and then a further moult into L3 (stage three larvae). It is at the L3 stage where livestock will…

Inflammation in Cats & Dogs

14 July, 2021

Inflammation in cats and dogs is a common physiological response, typically triggered by injury or illness. It serves as the body’s mechanism for protection and self-healing by expanding blood vessels and dispatching white blood cells to the affected area. While this immune response is essential for survival, it can at times spiral out of control. When this happens, the healthy inflammatory response doesn’t switch off when it is meant to, which causes chronic, low-grade inflammation. While acute inflammation helps the body heal, chronic inflammation can be harmful and is associated with various health problems and increases the risk for disease….

PSSM vs ‘Grass Affected’ Is there a difference?

12 July, 2021

Our observation is that horses exhibiting PSSM symptoms can also be found anywhere that grass grows and the horse is not being managed in such a way as to prevent the grass causing issues for that horse. In some cases where green grass isn’t part of the horse’s diet, the hay needs to be checked/analysed. ​There are far too many similarities for this to be merely coincidence ​Compare the list below which is from the following link:       http://www.pssm.eu/en/symptoms–of-pssm.html with the Calm healthy horses – Horse symptom Checklist ​Comparing the two lists we found Like ‘grass-affected’ horses there is a wide variety…

Pasture Management for Healthy Horses

9 July, 2021

There are two different approaches to the whole subject of pasture management depending on what sort of horses you own. If you just want the quiet ride at the weekend and safe ponies for your children then you will do things somewhat differently from someone who has performance and/or breeding horses. In either case: NEVER apply commercial fertilisers: No super, no potash, no NPK, no urea, they will all cause the grass to be even more unsuitable for your horses. Sufficient nitrogen for grass growth can come from occasionally (but not frequently!) harrowing manure. Originally, we thought it was just…

EMS – Equine Metabolic Syndrome

8 July, 2021

Horses who show signs of Equine Metabolic Syndrome are prone to laminitis any time of the year but the risk goes up in spring and autumn. A horse with EMS is not a healthy horse but the condition can be successfully reversed with dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Understanding the syndrome is Step 1. Most people know these horses need a diet which is low in sugars and starches (<10%) and an increase in exercise but EMS is not the same as being over-weight. Some EMS horses are over-weight and some are not but EMS horses are distinguishable by their ‘lumpy…

Feeding Grass Affected Horses

8 July, 2021

If your horse has diet related issues, what you feed in the way of hard feed can either reduce the problem or add to it. So, for the horse’s metabolism to ‘rest’ and ‘reset’ their self-regulating mechanisms, we keep hard feeds as simple and basic as possible. Over the years we have realised that potassium, crude protein and soluble sugar content are the nutrients we need to be mindful of. When there is an excess presense they place undue and cumulative stress on the horse’s metabolism. Green feed like lucerne/alfalfa, fresh herbs, willow or poplar leaves and other items such…

Stomach Ulcers in Horses. Or is it something else?

11 June, 2021

Stomach Ulcers in Horses present with signs such as going off their feed, and sometimes also becoming grumpy, twitchy and girthy. Horses on unsuitable forage, especially cool season pastures (rye-grass, cocksfoot, timothy, all clovers) when they are in growth mode, or in spring and autumn also get grumpy, twitchy and girthy. Girthiness or Ulcers? How can you tell which it is?  The scoping procedure to verify the presence of ulcers isn’t the most pleasant experience and can be costly. Here are a few points to consider: Horses with gastric ulcers usually go off their feed, it is like they want…

Gastric Dilation-Volvulus complex (GDV), commonly known as bloat is a complex, life threatening condition. It occurs mainly in large breed, deep chested dogs such as Great Danes, Dobermans and Setters, but can be a threat to any breed. What is Bloat? Bloat is a condition where the abdomen swells up, either with food or gas (or a combination of both).

Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD)

23 March, 2021

Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), also known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, is becoming increasingly common in pets. In my experience, this disease is seen mainly in pets that eat heavily processed commercial pet foods with low meat content. IBD is just one of the many allergic conditions that respond extremely well to a change to a raw meat diet. What is IBD? Irritable Bowel Disease is the chronic irritation of the bowel’s lining and an expression of food allergy at the gut level. Causes IBD is caused by the activation of your pet’s immune system in the gut. Defence cells build up…

Stress Relief For Horses

23 March, 2021

While most of us know the impact of high stress levels on our own health, many people never stop and think about whether our animals are also suffering from similar stresses. With a busy lifestyle you may get stressed out over traffic, work pressures, finances, world events or family problems and although animal’s lives are much more simplified, they can also be filled with everyday stress. Many people still believe that animals do not have the same feelings and emotions as we do, because they don’t talk or cry, but this doesn’t mean they don’t suffer in silence. To try…

Arthritis – Natural options for horses

22 March, 2021

Arthritis and joint pain or degeneration is a common affliction in senior horses. However, some horses may develop arthritic conditions early due to various factors such as high impact sports, racing, concussion from working on hard surfaces. The common mistake of feeding high grain diets to horses along with the use of highly processed feeds and synthetic fertilizers on pasture are contributing factors. Chronic inflammation will eventually cause damage to cartilage in the joints leading to osteoarthritis. Acute arthritis may be caused from an infection, and chronic arthritis is often due to the cumulative effect of stress on joints over many…

Garlic – Toxic or Health Food?

16 December, 2020

Using Garlic in Dog & Cat Food: Garlic has been widely used as both a culinary and medicinal herb for thousands of years, both for people and animals. In more recent times, the use of garlic in dog and cats foods has been questioned because there is evidence that at high doses it can cause toxicity (its close relative, onions, are also quite toxic when fed raw). Whilst this is true, the reported toxic doses are in the order of one large clove of garlic per 5kg bodyweight of animal daily (which is a very high dose), and it is…

Toxic Foods

16 December, 2020

Toxic Foods: It often comes naturally, the more we love our four legged friends, the more we want to pamper them. However, when we sometimes instinctively go to ‘treat’ them with some of our leftovers or share a portion of food we can sometimes be doing more harm than good. Animals digest differently, and there are a number of regular human foods that can unknowingly be toxic to your animals. Some of the more dangerous human foods for animals, and their potential effects, are as follows: Macadamia Nuts Can cause vomiting, lethargy, hyperthermia, abdominal pain, stiff joints, lameness, tremors or…

Vegan / Vegetarian Diet for Dogs

6 August, 2019

Dogs can survive on quite a varied diet as long as they get all the essential nutrients they require. Cats, however are strict carnivores and cannot survive on a vegan diet without risk of health issues long term. They have difficulty absorbing some essential nutrients from plant sources. It is not only harmful to their health, but I believe it is cruel to deprive them of their natural food source. To raise dogs on a vegan diet does take a bit more time and effort but it can be done as long as you ensure they are getting their nutritional…
