Assure Plus Equine Sand Clearance Supplement

We bought a mule from AR and had her shipped to CA. Within weeks of getting here she coliced from sand. The vet gave her oil and pysillium by tube. We immediately put her on a pelleted pysillium product. 10 days later another severe colic episode. Vet did same treatment but advised us to try raw pysillium as she thought it worked better than the pelleted products. Then 2 weeks later she coliced again. Vet back out, same treatment. The mule was passing sand, just not enough of it fast enough. So I got on the internet and started researching the best products for sand colic. I came across Assure Plus invented by a vet. Not only did it have the pysillium but it had prebiotics and probiotics as well. I thought it was a bit expensive, but if it saved on vet expenses it would be worth it. I got my shipment in 3 days and started her immediately on it. Within in 2 days we could visually see a major difference in the amount of sand being passed. Way more sand coming out with the Assure Plus than any other pysillium product we had tried. Then my girlfriend decided to do a test. We used 3 clear water bottles and put in 3 tablespoons of sand in each bottle and filled them up to within 1 1/2 inches from the top. Then we put pysillium pellets in one, raw pysillium in the second one and then Assure Plus in the 3rd and shook them all up and let them set over night. The Assure Plus pellets start to dissolve almost immediately. The next day we checked and the results were startling. The other pelleted pysillum product was still in pellets, half sank to the bottom and half were still floating on top. The raw pysillium had half at the bottom stuck to sand and the other half floating at the top. The Assure Plus pellets had all dissolved and was at the bottom stuck to the sand. We then gently poured out the water and separated the pysillium and sand clumps. The pelleted pysillium product did the worst job and removed hardly any sand. Which is why my mule continued to have severe colic episodes even after weeks of having pysillum. The raw pysillium did much better than the pelleted version. But the results from the Assure Plus were unbelievable! It removed at least 4 times the amount of sand that the raw pysillium did. It is pelleted, but they dissolve very quickly and it really sticks to the sand and gets it out. I haven't had a vet call or a severe colic episode since I put her on Assure Plus. And she is passing loads and loads of sand that has been in there a long time. Is it worth the expense, I believe it is. I guess when it comes to pysillium products you get what you pay for. And if you don't believe our little do it at home test, you test your current pysillium product in a bottle or jar with sand and water and see how it fares. You just might be as shocked as we were. I do not work for the company nor do I have any affiliation with it. I'm just a very satisfied customer and I want people who are dealing with sand colic issues to know there is a better product out there for removing lots of sand much faster than the current go to pysillium products.

My horses didn't mind eating it and it did definately help with diarrhea, not 100% resolution but about 90%!! So overall a great product.

I have been using this product on three horses and am nearly through the first 5 weeks and heading for the I week per month routine. It has completely changed the manure texture and our one horse that had colic surgery is doing beautifully. Another horse was losing weight (she's 22 yrs old) and had a rough coat. She is now up to good weight and her coat is shining. Another had slight problems with sand and is really doing well. I am very pleased with the formula. Everything that is needed for a healthy digestive system is there. Now I'm going on the one week per month routine it is cheaper to use than the other products.First class.

Expensive but it works. Less expensive than a vet call or a dead horse.

I have tried everything to prevent sand in my horses. Most sand colic supplements required mixing with something tasty to get them to eat it or had to be added to concentrate feed which I don't usually give them. NOT this stuff! All the horses love it and look forward to it as a treat and will eat it out of my hand. You feed such a small amount per horse that it lasts a long time and is easy to make sure each horse gets its correct portion. It is ready as is so it's super quick to give and no prepartion or clean up. UC Davis Equine Center created it and researched it so I am confident in its effectiveness.

Seems to work well. None of them have had colic, but considering they live in sand it seemed like a good idea to do this as preventative measures. Our vet strongly recommended it.

My vet highly recommended this product and I am very happy with the results! It made a huge difference in the health and well-being of my older pony. He suffers from IBS and he hasn't had a problem since he started this product!

Worked well for all our horses. Just ordered more.
