| Has anyone tried this? It seems the summer itchiness in my horses has started early this year. |

Location: Southern Indiana | You could try just some plain flax. It would be much cheaper and is the main ingredient in the Platinum product anyways. I love feeding flax for allergies and inflammation. |

| Yes, it works awesome if you can get your horse to EAT IT. Its REEKS of dead FISH smell. First time I opened it I actually thought I had a bad batch of it and called the company. They explained that it was perfectly fresh and that's what it was supposed to smell like. LOL I had one horse eat it but all the others refused. And its EXPENSIVE. My vet recommended a product by Kinetic Vet called Skin and Allergy. Horses love it and it works really really fast. |

Location: Muskogee, OK | Works great! I have one of my own personal horses on it for fly allergies and many clients horses on it. I find it helps the best if you start them on it before fly season is raging BUT have seen improvement regardless. |

Google can be a really great tool to look up things.

| Love this product. My mare gets seasonal allergies where she breaks out in hives. I hated giving her dex. My vet told me about the platinum skin & allergy as she has a mare who has allergies to. She suggested I start Heidi on it before allergy season starts, which I did this year. Her coat & skin are beautiful. For her I use the skin so soft for fly spray.

There would be no purpose of adding this if you already feed omega horseshine. They are both high in Omega 3's which combats inflammation. From the sounds of it the platinum product must be made with Fish oil instead of flax. They still do they same thing. |

| I know. I will stick with the Omega Horseshine. They have just started itching like crazy. Especially the 28 year old, plus he hasn't lost all of his winter hair, and it is starting to warm up. |

Location: North of Tulsa, Oklahoma | I have a horse with terrible summer allergies and we found they were much better when he was on Platinum CJ. It has quite a few of the same ingredients.
He is now retired and a pasture ornament, so CJ is a bit out of his cost range. We've had good luck with a shot of Vetalog about every 5-6 weeks, stops his itching overnight. |

My mare is the same way--when warm weather hits she always loses hair around her eyes and cheeks and just generally itchy. This year her CHEST was bald. But once the hair was completely gone it immediately started coming back. Within 2 weeks we have pretty black hair all over again. (Our whole herd is on the CJ.) Before CJ she looked like she had mange half the summer! |
