Sol Plus - Equine

When to Dose

Start dosing as soon as symptoms of sun damage appear. Can also be used as a preventative if dosing starts in the Spring, allowing a buildup of the normal immune response to sun exposure. This product is not an SPF rated sunblock. We recommend allowing 7-10 days for the remedy to take effect, and to continue observing sun sensitivity and protect your horse accordingly. Can be used long term but dosing isn’t usually needed during Winter.

How to Dose

Add to the water trough to dose multiple animals at the same time, or dose direct into the mouth, on a treat or piece of food. Most horses enjoy the sweet taste, but if your horse is nervous about being dosed, put the dose on your finger and dab it onto their lips or gums. The active ingredients start working as soon as the remedy contacts a mucous membrane.

90ml Pump Bottle

Give 2 pumps onto the tongue, gums or lips, or on a piece of food that wont absorb it, like carrot or apple twice daily during months when sunburn threatens. 

90 ml Pump Bottle = 230 doses (2 pumps per dose)

Bottles are food grade aluminium with a hygienic serum pump lid and over cap. Great for dosing on the go.

Jerry Can Dosing

Water trough - add 25ml's - one capful or 1 Jerry Can pump - of remedy into the water trough every second day. Dose volume is calculated for a 500-litre water trough, and can provide coverage for multiple animals.

Feed – add 12ml's - ½ capful (12ml) or ½ pump - on to feed twice daily.

Continue dosing twice daily during months when sunburn threatens.

Our robust jerry cans are made from food grade plastic.

1 litre = 80 days cover via water troughs (dosing every second day) or 40 days dosing on feed (twice daily). 
The 5 litre jerry cans come with a free dispensing pump. The pump can also be bought separately for the smaller jerry cans.
