Great for allergies!
My horse struggles with allergies all year long. Prior to spirulina, he was on 20 Zyrtec a day. I decided that I wanted to try something more natural so I could take him off the Zyrtec. The first few days, my horse didn't seem to be a fan of the added spirulina. However, he finally gave in and began eating it and we haven't had any issues since. After my horse was on spirulina for two weeks, I could already tell a difference in his allergies! He no longer had nasty nasal discharge during exercise! So happy with this product and will continue to use it year round to keep my horse happy and comfortable!

I Really Think These Helped
Later in the summer my horse gets horrible infected flu bites all over his body, but mostly on his legs. A friend suggested this to help his reactions to these fly bites. This year since giving him this supplement I have treated only a couple.

Horse won’t eat it
I ordered to help my horse with allergies. I think it smells great and I love that I could buy it in bulk. Unfortunately he won’t touch it, no matter how much I try. I’m bummed that I have to pay return shipping since when I bought it, it shipped free.

Amazing Results - No more sneezing!
Last summer my guy came up with a sneezing problem. Vet came out tried a bunch of prescription medication including dex and zyrtec. None of it worked. Anytime my guy grazed, he would just sneeze and sneeze and clear snot would roll down his nose. The vet was stumped. One week into spirulina and he can graze with ease! One month in and no sniffles!

So far so good
TL; DR: if your horse has constant nasal discharge (not an active infection), try this!
My horse has always suffered from seasonal allergies and constantly has a runny nose. It would cause him to toss his head occasionally and he always wanted to use anything or anyone as a scratching post. He also has a little bit of eye gunk/watery eyes as a result. He was otherwise fine and it didn't hinder his performance. A few months ago, he came down with a case of sinus infection. After a round of antibiotics, he still had occasional thick yellow nasal discharge. We scoped him and X-rayed him and the vets found nothing remarkable, just inflammation that may have been from previous tubing/scoping. Anyway, I decided to look up supplements that could potentially help with respiratory issues and came across spirulina. I was contemplating between spirulina and SmartBreathe/SmartBreathe Ultra and decided to try spirulina first since my horse doesn't have any coughing issues (he coughs once or twice when we first start trotting but it's nothing the vet is worried about). Welp, less than a week in, all the yellow discharge stopped and his eyes weren't as gunky as usual. He still has a slight runny nose but it's noticeably better than how it usually is this time of the year. We are only about a month in but I'm certain the spirulina is doing something and is not just placebo effect. I mentioned this to our vet during a recent checkup and she thought it was a good idea too and wanted me to keep her posted on how he does for the rest of the spring/summer season. So far, we are loving this product, which my horse seems to really enjoy (he's not a picky eater).

Good quality
I bought this to keep my mare on spirulina when I transitioned her off of SmartBreath Ultra. It seems to ease her constant allergy-induced post nasal drip, and she happily eats it straight.

Stopped the itch
I have 2 horses that rub their tails out every year. Tried this and they both stopped itching! It does have a strange smell, the algae I guess, but they ate it.

Picky Mare Struggles to Eat it.
My picky AQHA/FQHR mare who has heaves, struggles to eat this. I changed to stalling during the day (hot weather, no access to shade in paddock). If left in her stall she will eat it. I've gotten a better system down and she will eat it better now, but she's been on it over a month now with just a small decrease in coughing.

Smart Spirolina
With the dry weather and the heavy pollen, my young Warmblood started having some nasal drainage and slapping his ears back and forth. No signs of illness, so my vet recommended wetting his sawdust bedding and adding an antihistamine for possible seasonal allergies. Within 24 hours of the first dose his symptoms lessened and after only 2 days on this product, his nose was clean and dry, and the ear shaking stopped! He is a much happier boy! Wonderful quick results with an all-natural product, at a very affordable price! Thank you SmartPak!
