FAQs
How much Dengie Cool, Condition & Shine should I feed my horse?
Feeding amounts depend on your horse's weight, workload, and individual needs. Refer to the feeding guidelines on the packaging, and consult with a vet or nutritionist for personalized recommendations.
Can I feed this to horses with metabolic issues?
It is best to consult with your vet or an equine nutritionist before feeding this product to horses with metabolic concerns. The molasses content should be considered.
Is this a complete feed?
No, it is not a complete feed. It should be fed in conjunction with forage (hay or pasture) and potentially other feeds as required to meet your horse's nutritional needs.
How should I store the feed?
Store the feed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and pests.
Can I mix this with other feeds?
Yes, it can be mixed with other feeds. However, introduce new feeds gradually.
What are chelated minerals, and why are they important?
Chelated minerals are minerals bound to amino acids. This process makes the minerals easier for horses to absorb and utilize, improving overall health and performance.
What is the shelf life of the feed?
Check the packaging for the expiration date. Properly stored feed typically maintains its quality for several months.
What if my horse doesn't like the taste?
Try mixing it with other feeds or adding a small amount of warm water. The addition of spearmint and molasses can entice most horses.
Troubleshooting
Horse is not eating the feed.
Try mixing the feed with other palatable feeds, or introduce it gradually. Ensure the feed is fresh and stored properly. Consider adding a small amount of warm water to enhance the aroma.
Horse is too thin after starting the feed.
Gradually increase the feeding amount, but do not exceed the recommended maximums. Ensure the horse is also receiving enough forage and that there are no underlying health issues.
Loose stools or digestive upset.
Reduce the amount of feed and reintroduce it gradually. Make sure the feed is not contaminated and that the horse has access to plenty of fresh water.
