Is aloe vera gel suitable for elderly animals?
The Aloe Vera Gel is an excellent preparation for our more mature equine friends. It acts as a general ‘pick me up’ and helps keep all systems, particularly an immunological system in peak performance. We recommend dosage of 100-120mls per day. Each year vets are called to examine mature horses from January onwards because they are losing weight and showing signs of not coping. When these are examined and blood tested, many show signs of poor digestion and liver/kidney problems usually associated with the ageing process. These animals need a well-balanced, appetising and nourishing diet, protection from the weather, check teeth and worm regularly. As animals age they will develop arthritis and therefore we also recommend they are given Aloe Vera with glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM daily.
