I love the consistency and smell of these pellets.

I've always been a fan of Nutrena products but I have a horse with a sensitive gut and I was looking for a ration balancer without any corn or molasses. I checked

I've always been a fan of Nutrena products but I have a horse with a sensitive gut and I was looking for a ration balancer without any corn or molasses. I checked the ingredients on the special care and decided to give it a try. First off, my horse loves it. I have an amazing graze treat dispenser that I put his cookies in and set it in his paddock while he's working on his grain. Usually he will leave the grain to get a few cookies, but with the Special Care, he waits until he finishes it to go for his treats. Although, it's too soon to know for sure -- I think this product has helped with his fecal water syndrome. I've noticed less poopy butt since giving him this product. I had stopped giving him other ration balancers because it seemed to make the FWS worse, so he had been on just plain grass hay pellets to mix his joint and mineral supplements. I'm happy to find a balancer that seems to agree with his gut as he really needed the extra nutrition.

Good smell

I just started using this product so I can comment on the smell only. It has a nice, clean smell. Small pellet size, so very good for soaking.

Contained corn kernels

I've been feeding this product to my IR horse for a long time. My most recent t order from Vhewy contains corn kernels! This is completely unacceptable !

Not the same product

I have already called and complained about this product. When I opened the bag the grain is not the same as it usually is. I have been buying this for 10 years

Perfect for my PSSM mare.

Had to find the lowest starch product for my horse but had the vitamins and minerals plus. This seems to be perfect for her and she loves it too.

Nutrena is a trusted brand with many formulations. Vets seem to be very familiar with the product and can recommend the best one.

My Gypsy likes this feed

Having an easy keeper this feed is appropriate for my Gelding. He only gets 1 cup twice a day but he seems to enjoy it. It's a safe way to give him something besides

Having an easy keeper this feed is appropriate for my Gelding. He only gets 1 cup twice a day but he seems to enjoy it. It's a safe way to give him something besides hay or very limited pasture.
