The Best Fish Oil for Horses
We all know that omega-3s are supposed to be important for our horse’s coats, joints, digestion, and brain. But getting the right dose — and a good quality supplement — can be tricky.
Here at Wellpride, we focus on making the best equine fish oil so that you and your horse get results. In contrast to most equine omega supplements, Wellpride contains high levels of EPA and DHA (which have potent anti-inflammatory benefits). And, because we work to preserve freshness during production and handling, our Wellpride has a great taste and smell that even picky eaters love!
Set your horse up for success by choosing Wellpride, and get ready to watch your large supplement bills melt away.
