The Fit Horse First Aid Kit
Frequently Asked Questions.
Q. Are these remedies suitable for my horse?
A. The all Natural Herbal Remedies offered on thefithorse.com website are made following the homeopathic protocol and are safe and suitable for all horses, no matter how young or old. No matter what work the horse is required to do.
The ingredients in these remedies consist of phytochemicals, that is, herbal essences dissolved in distilled water. The amount of active ingredient in a remedy is considered nano-grams, that is a tiny amount which is so small it usually cannot be measured. There can be no contraindications nor sensitivities to remedies given in such amounts. The horse usually ingests larger quantities of herbs as it grazes in the pasture, or eats hay.
The only reaction to these remedies could be no reaction! That is, usually due to being given too close to concentrated food or treats, the minute dose was counteracted upon.
Some horses may take longer to react to some remedies than others. Sometimes a reaction may not be seen. However the efficacy of these Remedies has been well documented over 200 years.
Q. Why should I choose The Fit Horse First Aid Kit remedies instead of using my Vet's prescribed medicine?
A. The Fit Horse First Aid Kit Remedies are NOT a substitute for the medicine recommended by a Veterinarian. The Fit Horse First Aid Kit remedies are precisely what it says they are. They are a First Aid remedy to be used as a first resort while awaiting the Vet's visit, since they should be on hand in the barn, pocket or refrigerator. These remedies are also designed to allieviate suffering and promote healing in every day circumstances when the vet is usually not called. A good indication of whether the Vet is needed is when these remedies fail to work when they have been given under optimum conditions.
However, while these remedies are never a substitute for Veterinarian prescriptions, they can be given to advantage alongside any prescribed medicine. All the remedies promote speedy healing when given in the appropriate situation.
