ABOUT US
SANOANIMAL - sustainable and holistic feeding
and therapy knowledge for your horse
It's becoming more common for horse owners to face chronic health issues with their horses, rather than enjoying carefree rides and fun times. This is especially true with metabolic problems like sweet itch, EMS, or KPU. Often, even vets are stumped, as these issues aren't widely covered in veterinary training.
You've probably seen loads of feed brands promising miracle mueslis or supplements for various health issues. But let's be real, these solutions seldom work as well as they claim.
In our feed consulting and integrated animal therapy practice, we've been tackling these kinds of horse metabolic problems for more than 15 years. We've experimented with different feeding and therapy strategies and gathered a wealth of practical know-how.
We're excited to share this knowledge with you, so your horse can start feeling better. Our approach? We believe in nature's magic. We advocate for natural, species-appropriate diets and support therapy with time-tested natural remedies.
Any questions or problems not yet covered in our articles? reach out to us at office.uk@sanoanimal.de.
