| I board and am looking for an easier way for my barn to give my horse his supplements. I'd like to have a reusable system, where I can just keep them at home and fill them weekly or every few weeks for them so they don't have to mess with them all and I ensure he gets them? I'd prefer something more permanent then baggies. Any ideas? I thought maybe small baby food containers? |

| Honestly for the price smart paks are way easier and pretty cheap with their supplements and ease of using. And i like how they automatically send when u need more. |

Location: Kansas | I feed smartpaks, easier than having to mix your own and store it...I just pick the box up they ship, open it up and dump the supps into the drawer they sent me as well. Love my smartpaks |

Location: sunny california | I would not bother with buying containers. they just end up gettign chewed up by the dogs or lost. I would go the baggie route and put them in a big bucket |

Location: California | I would call Smat Paks and see if they could carry the supplement you want. I have honestly not seen a company with such great customer service pretty much ever before in my life. I am so happy to be a Smart Paks customer, it is an amazing product and company! |

Location: MD | I was at a full care facility and I premade their breakfast and dinner in baggies for about a months worth. it worked better that way because I knew they were getting what they needed and baggies are pretty cheap in the long run. |

For sure! Almost to the point it gets annoying...lol! After my orders they call to make sure I am happy with everything. If I don't answer they leave a message and also email me to check in to make sure I was happy with my purchases and they even follow up a few weeks later to see how the horse is doing on the products! I feel like I am their only customer. |

Location: Pacific Northwest | I love SmartPak but I'm not sure if they can just carry whatever supplement they want, I'm sure some of it has to do with the supplement company as well. They're always the first place I check though because they DO carry so many supplements.
To the OP I think I would just do baggies and put them all in a big bucket lol. I've never boarded a horse though so I'm not much help. Is there a reason you can't just keep the supplements at the barn? |

Location: Sunny So Cal | I used to put mine in a baggie and then put them in a container. It took up a lot less space. Then after a while I heard about THE and have been on them ever since. Everything is already mixed in one bag so you can just put 1 scoop in and be done. |

Location: Oklahoma | Maybe some small mason jars would work? I have various sizes in my house and use them to store lots of things. You can get small ones that are about the size of baby food containers. They'd probably hold up longer, but more prone to breaking. |

| I use empty yogurt, or sour cream, or cottage cheese containers with the snap on lids. They are surprisingly durable and FREE! |

I put my THE in the big containers at the dollar store. So easy. One scoop, everything I need. |
