A respiratory supplement supports the horse's airway function and lung health - typically using ingredients like menthol, eucalyptus, herbs and antioxidants. Used for horses with mild respiratory irritation, dust sensitivity, or supporting recovery from respiratory infections. Not a substitute for veterinary treatment of significant respiratory disease.
When should I feed a respiratory supplement for horses?
Use for horses with mild airway irritation - stable cough, dust sensitivity, occasional discharge - or horses recovering from a respiratory infection. For persistent or severe respiratory signs (chronic cough, increased breathing rate at rest, reduced exercise tolerance), get a vet involved.
Are respiratory supplements for horses competition-legal?
Most are. Some respiratory products contain ingredients (menthol in some formulations, specific herbs) that may have FEI restrictions or withdrawal periods. Always check the label and the FEI Clean Sport database before competing.
How long does it take to see results from a respiratory supplement?
Most respiratory supplements show effect within 2-3 weeks of consistent feeding. For ongoing seasonal sensitivities, daily feeding through the trigger period is usually the most effective approach.
What brands of respiratory supplement for horses do you stock?
TRM Equivent Nd and Plusvital Bronc-Eze. See equine supplements for the broader supplement range.
Can I feed multiple horse supplements together?
Yes - respiratory supplements pair with most other supplements. For horses on multiple herbal products, check ingredient overlap and consult a vet for any horse with diagnosed respiratory conditions.
