FAQs

How long does a 650g tub last?

The duration depends on the horse's size, appetite, and how often it has access to the lick. Monitor consumption to estimate the lifespan for your horse.

Can I give this to my foal?

Consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new supplements to a foal's diet. Foals have specific nutritional needs.

Where should I store the Horslyx Mini?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of the reach of animals.

What if my horse has allergies?

Check the product ingredients and consult with your veterinarian if your horse has known allergies.

Can I use this alongside other supplements?

Yes, but be mindful of the overall nutrient intake. Consult your veterinarian for guidance on combining supplements.

Is the Horslyx Mini suitable for horses with dental issues?

The consistency of the lick might be suitable for horses with dental issues, but always monitor consumption and consult with your veterinarian.

How do I introduce the Horslyx Mini to my horse?

Introduce it gradually to allow your horse to get used to the taste and texture. Start with a small amount and observe the horse's reaction.

Troubleshooting

Horse is not interested in the lick.

Ensure the horse has not recently consumed a different treat. Try offering the lick at a different time of day or in a different location. Consider the different flavors available to determine if another flavor is more appealing.

The lick is consumed too quickly.

Monitor the horse's intake and adjust the frequency of offering the lick. Consider using a slow-feeder to regulate consumption. Make sure you are also providing adequate forage so the horse is not overly reliant on the lick for its nutritional needs.
