ClearOut
For clean, comfortable bowels 500g packs.


The Psyllium in ClearOut is an excellent bowel cleanser helping keep your horse clear of build up of undesirable material which can cause discomfort and concern.

It is used by many vets in the UK when sand & debris build up in the bowel and can be used each year or more regularly througout the year to ensure total comfort. The husk of this plant swells to form a gel which can help soothe bowels and enable sand and other material to be passed in the droppings. It is useful in times of bowel stagnation or looseness and maintains normal function in a wide variety of situations.

Many horse owners testify to the difference Pysllium has made to their horses which regularly experience times of discomfort.

PRESENTATION: 500g packets with tub if required

DIRECTIONS: 20g per 100kg bodyweight in feed for 5 days. Lower levels can be used for longer periods to help in long term problems. Fennel is also very useful to help calm the abdomen and help your horse cope with build up of gases. If you suspect COLIC always contact your vet. Costs: £9 / 500g
