SandRid Psyllium Pellets – 5 lbs
Sand colic is one of the most preventable conditions in horses. For horses in sandy areas or those turned out in sand rings, the ingestion of sand while eating off the ground poses a significant health risk. Sand accumulates in the intestines, leading to sand colic. Feeding a psyllium-based supplement like SandRid Psyllium Pellets is essential to help prevent this issue by promoting sand removal and maintaining gut health.

Why Psyllium?
Psyllium is a bulk-forming fiber laxative that increases intestinal volume, collects sand, and facilitates its natural removal. This product is highly recommended for horses exposed to sandy environments or dirt paddocks, where the ingestion of sand is more likely.
