I've only had success with MVP Gastro-Plex pellets. Mine had ulcers from the hind gut to his larynx, worst several vets had ever seen. It was hell for years. He's been ulcer free since 2016 now |

Ditto! I'm about to order for my dogs. I am so impressed with what the combo of their metabolic support along with the wellness formula did for my horse I'm going to put my dogs on the canine formula. Platinum does not disappoint |

The original wellness and the beta lip-ox. I own 4 dogs 3 of them are labs. One of my females is so fat and she barely gets 2 cups of food a day. So with the advice from her vet, we switched her feed and are feeding her "diet" wet food along with the platinum added because shes getting just a little bit of food. Shes going on a higher protein diet than the others. Hopefully itll do the trick! Shes not much of a couch potato anyway, but we are going to increase her walking and play time.. shes lives for the tennis ball to be thrown. I am trying to get on top of her weight so she wont have joint issues as she ages! I'll probably end up putting my other dogs on the wellness too. Its relatively inexpensive to feed to the dogs.  |

My three are on the Canine CJ, but I have a HEFTY girl that could probably benefit from what you're doing. . . . |

| The lip ox is kind of on the expensive side but I dont think its something they stay on for a long time. Although I was looking at the food shes going to be on and it actually has the active ingredient in it already. I was told by my vet that the wet food version of the dry food I'm feeding is higher in protein and lower in fiber and that's what she needs. The protein is supposed to make them feel satisfied so they arent too hungry when you cut their groceries down! The platinum will add the extra protein and make sure all the vitals are still getting met without extra calories. I did not know this up until last night but dogs can have cushings too! If changing her diet doesnt remove the weight we will test her and she will have to be put on medication to control it. :-/ |

| I have never tried PP GI but We use NeutraBac pH for ulcer symptoms and prevention. It's an oral application that has a pretty sweet applicator. It's a very cost effective solution as a half of a gallon is $250 and a gallon is $485-a lot cheaper than some other products on the market. http://www.runninblivestock.com/neutrabac-ph/ |

| One of mine got bad ulcers and all three vets I spoke with recommended PP GI without hesitation and in their experience it is the best. I also spoke with lots of my horse friends and they've also been pleased. The other recommendation is Purina Outlast which also was highly recommended by both vets and friends. Im using both now in the one with the bad ulcers and Im using the Purina Outlast in the others as a "just in case". |

| I feed Platinum and I have one who gets Platinum GI for an extra layer of ulcer support. It definitely helps in that regard. I took him off of it for about 3 months last summer, tried something different and he went back to showing some minor discomfort symptoms. So he went right back on it and will stay. |

   Location: SW New Mexico | I'm following because I'm interested in finding the best follow-up on ulcers. Brother Dave just finished 30 days on gastrogard. He's doing so much better, he's gaining weight again and recovering from clostridel myositis.. I'm intrigued by the Platinum Performance products as Dave has been on it for three years now. I just want to make sure I get the right product. |

| I went ahead and tried it and my mare has now been on it for 60 days and it is the best money I ever spent! LOVE IT! She totally transformed. Filled in her topline, dappled out, and gained weight in the areas she needed to fill out. She seems calmer and less aggravated when tacking up and working her. |

   Location: MS | I'm using it for the first time on a horse that i've had trouble putting weight on. He's had hind gut issues. Just diagnosed with EPM. He started Performance GI a week before the EPM meds. I couldn't believe how quickly I saw results. He finaly gained weight and got his shine back. HIs appatite improved. He's been on it 3 weeks now and continues to improve. I will keep this horse on it forever. Platinum answered all my questions and helped me decide what to put him on. |
