The Risk of Colic is Real,
Let Platinum Help
Research shows preventative veterinary care — including proper nutrition — can improve a horse's long-term wellness and influence the rate of serious medical conditions such as colic. Feed one of Platinum’s comprehensive wellness formulas with advanced digestive care, like Platinum Performance® GI or Platinum Performance® DJ, for prime coverage.
Get Digestive Support“By all means, there are colic cases that I think we can prevent. Part of that is based on nutrition — limiting grain as much as possible, using healthy fats in the diet, practicing routine exercise and parasite control and turning a horse out as much as possible.”
— Dr. Nathaniel White
Step 1: Start With A Strong Foundation
