Farnam Swat Original Fly Repellent Ointment Horse Supplement, 7-oz tub

I have used Swat for several years. We have Great Pyrenees livestock guardians and the flies chew up their noses something awful. Because of their hair, their noses are the only problem area we have on them with the flies. Until now, the only Swat I have used has been the clear ointment. It has a Vaseline-like consistency but it works great and lasts all day. I decided to try this original pink formula that was available from Chewy, which was the first time I had ever seen it. I like this original pink formula better. It’s not nearly as greasy and I love the fact that because it’s pink, I can tell exactly where I’ve put it, therefore making sure their entire nose area is covered.

The pink doesn’t disappear, so they have pink noses all day but that doesn’t bother me. As far as effectiveness, I can’t tell any difference between the two formulas. Both last all day and do a fantastic job at keeping flies off the dogs noses. … more

The pink formula works much better than the clear option. Lasts for days and works well, doesn't run when your horse gets sweaty. The pink formula is hard to find in my area Thanks Chewy!

I have used this product for years. It works well and helps prevent gnat bites.

I didn’t realize this was neon pink until after I bought it. I’ve always gotten the clear from the feed store. I think I actually prefer the color. Swat formula works extremely well. I put it on my mares udders/inner upper legs and the little flaps of skin where her hips meet her trunk and her belly button/trunk where the summer sores happens and it stays on all day with 90+ degree heat and 80+ humidity. Great for ears too! Works great for my gelding who’s sheath and inner legs are very sensitive to permethrin and this doesn’t bother him at all. They both don’t get bites in those sensitive areas now. It’s a bit pricey but it lasts compared to spray and you don’t need much at each application I didn’t realize this was neon pink until after I bought it.

My little donkeys are fly magnets, especially the two with white legs. I like the pink Swat because it's easy to see if I've missed a spot on them. I apply Swat every 3-5 days; and the bugs leave them alone. Just a note, not a complaint, I wear a glove to apply Swat because it's made to stay where you put it. Chewy got this to me quickly and at a good price.

We had an awful fly season this year, and Swat gave our horse and pony some much-needed relief.

My horse had minor surgery, the vet recommended Swat to put around (not on it) surgical site to keep flies away. Yes, it works.

Swat really works as long as the dog will leave it on. I have to put on at least twice daily.

Pink was recommended by the vet to deter the bugs from biting on belly area. Messy, but works

We have always used this ointment on our horses that works effectively. Lasts a couple of days and the pink color helps to see where you've applied it.
