    When To Dose

    Scratches Plus is a professionally formulated horse supplement that supports a normal immune response to conditions caused by Dermatophilus congolensis bacteria. For horses prone to conditions such as greasy heel, scratches and rain scald/rot, start preventative dosing at the onset of the rainy season. Dosing can also start as soon as symptoms appear. This product can be added to the water trough to dose multiple animals.

    How To Dose

    If symptoms have appeared, dose for 2-3 weeks or until healing is complete and the scabs have fallen off leaving clear healthy skin underneath, then reduce dosing to once a week. As a preventative, start dosing once a week as soon as the rainy season starts. Keep an eye on your horse’s legs and at the first sign of any trouble, increase dosing to twice daily for 7-10 days to return the skin to its normal healthy state. Reducing dose frequency when symptoms aren’t present will avoid desensitization to this remedy. Severe or long-standing cases will take longer to resolve. If you have any questions about dosing or progress, please get in touch.

    3oz Pump Bottle  

    Dose 2 pumps into the mouth or onto a treat or feed twice a day for 2-3 weeks, then reduce to once a week for maintenance.  

    3oz 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

    Feed – add ½ capful or ½ a Jerry Can pump (1oz) - on to feed twice daily.

    1 quart = 80 days continuous cover via water troughs (dosing every second day) or 40 days dosing on feed (twice daily).
