Troubleshooting

Horse is still chewing after application.

Ensure the Cribox was applied thoroughly and evenly. Reapply, and consider applying more coats or trying a different application method. For some persistent chewers, a combination of methods may be necessary.

The paste is too thick to apply.

If the paste has thickened, warm the container slightly (e.g., in a warm room) and stir well before application. Ensure the lid is securely closed after use to prevent drying.

Product is ineffective in wet conditions.

Reapply Cribox after heavy rain or washing, as the product's effectiveness can diminish with exposure to water.
