It works by reducing the production of acid in the horse's stomach. To help horses maintain optimal gastric health, it is recommended that ULCERGARD be administered during stressful events or activities that may induce stomach ulcers. Such conditions may include but are not limited to: training, racing, showing, traveling, stall confinement, limited turnout or access to forage, and competition.

  • Reduces acid at the source
  • Proven ability to prevent gastric ulcers

4/5

I would give UG 5 stars except for how expensive it is. However, Cheshire Horse offers it at the least expensive that I could find. My 30 year old mare was colicy, off her feed, and vets couldn't find any obvious reasons... so I thought it wouldn't hurt to try UG (full tube, like Gastroguard), and almost immediately you you tell she was feeling better, and was normal after 3 days.
