There is no getting away from shipping costs unfortunately, so we are trying to find you the very best options available.
We have just added Canada Post Flat-Rate shipping boxes to our options. You will still be provided with tracking and the shipping times will be the same. The only difference is colourful box and less cost!
Please note that due to the box limitations we are unable to ship our small tubs or orders over 5kg in flat rate boxes. If you are looking for products that are within the weight parameters but that are sold in tubs, let us know and we can always ship you a bag without the plastic tub.

The consensus was unanimous. You all wanted Spirulina Refills, so they are here!
It's hard not to love the idea when they're both less expensive and have more affordable shipping!
Many of us have dealt with allergies so severe that we have had to resort to using a steroid to control the symptoms.
Knowing that we are only masking the problem alongside the concern of the side effects from the steroids is enough to lose sleep over. But what if you could find a solution to the actual problem, instead of masking the symptoms? Not only would your horse feel better, but you would too.
"I have a horse who has battled with extremely bad allergies for a
long time. They would usually flare up in the dry dusty heat that we get in our area, and as much as I hated it, he was living on a dose of Dex 3-4 times per week.
I was told to try spirulina by a few people and I try to source all my supplements to local BC companies. I was really hoping that Spirulina would work for him, or at least help give him a little relief.
Since finding G’s Spirulina he hasn’t needed a single dose of Dex!
The spirulina tablets are working so well for him that I have been sharing my experience with friends who also have horses with respiratory issues and those that have tried it have also had really good results!"

Ahh the dreaded shipping costs!
We debate about shipping all the time. Do we raise prices and offer free shipping? Do we try to avoid price increases and let customers pay shipping? There are arguments for both sides.
For now though, we are leaving well enough alone, while trying to ensure you get the best rates.
No matter where you live, let us know if the shipping on our website seems high and we can run some numbers for you manually. That way, we can try to ensure that you aren't being overcharged thanks to faulty technology!
We are coming up on the ideal time of year to start your horse on Spirulina before their summer allergies start! As a bonus, with 70%+ protein spirulina also helps with muscle building after some down time over the winter!
"Just an update on my mare who started on your Spirulina tablets in March.
Last summer she had sweet itch quite bad. It eased over the winter, but the itch never fully went away. I assumed we were headed for anti-histamines, fly sheets 24/7, fans etc to get her comfortable this summer. But since starting her on the spirulina tablets there is no excessive itching and she is so much happier!
I made no changes other then adding in the Spirulina. Her coat is also so shiny and sleek! I'm thrilled it's been such a simple fix for her."

What would the benefits be of having Spirulina refills?
🌱We can offer cheaper flat rate shipping in Canada on up to 4 refills!
🌱They would be 1kg, so will be much less expensive than 1.5kg tubs.
🌱You don't have to collect tons of little white tubs.
Let us know what you think!
**Likely these would start with just a tablet format.

Spirulina really can be that 'magic [tablet]' for some horses, dogs and even humans.
Have you seen incredible changes feeding spirulina? We would love to hear about them! Send us a pm, comment or send a message through our website to share your story.
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Your incredible spirulina tablets have given me my horse back!
She spent 5 years enduring horrific respiratory issues that could not be resolved by anything. She's been on every medication and supplement you can name and at best was barely managed just to be a pasture pet.
My vet recommended spirulina and I began using your product through a dealer 2 years ago. The change has been nothing short of miraculous.
She is now solely on spirulina tablets and living life to the fullest. We began competing again this year, she rarely ever has a flareup, and she can even eat round bales without a net again!
I tell everyone I can to try your tablets! I will always be a customer, especially with such outstanding customer service as well."

Being cold pressed with no binders, capsules or coatings, you would think that our tablets would dissolve quickly in water- but they don't!
If you use hot water or soak them for a long time, of course they will break down more quickly, but if mixed into normal room-temp wet (or dry) feed there will be no issue with the flavor or colour coating everything else in and out of the bucket.
Did you know that we have a whole line of canine products? 🐕
Being such avid horse people, we often forget to mention them, but they really are worth talking about!
🌱G's Formula for Dogs - It's the same G's Formula that we all know and love, only with a different balance of ingredients, added diatomaceous earth (for parasite control) and it's ground down into a powder. For dogs with an upset GI system, those who have trouble with nutrient absorption, aged dogs, and those who like to eat 💩
🌱Essential Harvest - A blend of fruits and veggies designed to help supplement your dogs diet. For those who feed raw or homemade, you can add Essential Harvest to cover the entire F&V portion of their meal! As an added bonus, it's basically the same as VegeGreens for humans (without the additives), so you can add it to your own smoothies!
🌱 Pure Organic Spirulina - For both horses and dogs, our Spirulina is free of all heavy metals, and is certified human-grade. Add in the powder or tablets to provide easily digestible plant-based protein and to help combat even the worst allergies. Bonus- it's great for humans too! Take 1-3tsp per day to boost your immune system!
🌱 Pure Organic Chia Seeds - We all know how important Omegas are for ourselves, but we often forget that our animals need them too. For both horses and dogs, our Chia Seeds are human-grade and ready to be fed to the whole family; both two and four-legged! For coat, skin and overall health, Chia Seeds are an easy and palatable addition to any meal.
Introducing our newest G's Team Rider, Sara Sellmer!
As so often happens in life, we were introduced to Sara though a series of connections, made in part by us saying "we would love to sponsor an eventer!"
The fit with G's was natural, as Sara believes in feeding organic products both to herself and her horses. After trying a few of our products, she was hooked, and now all of her horses are feeling better than ever!
We can't wait to watch she and her horses in the year to come as they embark on their journey into the CCI5* ring!
Maybe it's not necessary, but mixing a bucket of beautiful feed is so much more satisfying than mixing brown pellets. As they say, if you know, you know.
Imagine; you buy a supplement and your horse actually wants to eat it. 🤯
You can make that dream a reality with G's.

It seemed that you all wanted the cookie recipe, so here we go!
You will need: A baking sheet, parchment paper, a knife, a firm mixing/spreading tool, a rolling pin and/or a second baking sheet, a measuring cup, a large mixing bowl, either a food processor or blender, and either just your oven, or your oven followed by a dehydrator.
Ingredients: 6 cups G’s Formula, 1/2 tsp salt (we use Himalayan salt), 3.5 cups of COLD water.
Notes: We use a half sheet when making the cookies (the ones that cover an entire rack in your oven), so if you are using a normal baking sheet (9x13”), just divide this recipe in half. Also- if you have a dehydrator, you can make them extra yummy- thats how we do them!
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit
Cover your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Put 6 cups G’s Formula in a food processor or blender until there’s no longer any large pieces of cabbage or carrot (I use the food processor for about 1 mins or blender for about 3 mins). ** see attached photo for ideal consistency.**
Put in a large bowl and mix in 1/2 tsp salt. Pour 3.5 cups of COLD water into the blended G’s, and very quickly mix until just combined. Working as quickly as possible, pour onto your baking sheet and spread out. Once spread out, place another piece of parchment on top and using either a rolling pin or another baking sheet, compress and even out the mixture. Then remove the top sheet of parchment, and cut to a desired size. Bake for 20 mins and then transfer to a dehydrator until dry (colour will change like ing the picture), or bake until dried out. **if you are only baking, they likely will not dry out completely. If this is the case, ensure that they are used within a decent time frame 🙂
Don’t forget to take some photos and tag us! Add the hashtag #GsHomemadeCookies so that we can find them all in one place!
Happy baking everyone!

Goodluck!!!
With all of the snow that has accumulated here on the westcoast, the horses were all starting to get a bit restless. I am happy to report that after a romp and a roll, G is feeling much better about being cooped up! (Please ignore his little kick... his other side still had drips running down to his belly!)
The long story short of who we are, and what we do, is that we are horse people and we help horses.
This is the story of G, and how the company came to be...
I purchased G in November of 2007 for my daughter as her next dressage horse. For the first few years he was relatively healthy other than a recurring sinus infection that was eventually cured with several rounds of powerful antibiotics. By 2011 his health was deteriorating, he was having some mild colic episodes, recurring loose manure, and his work ethic was declining. He was put on several rounds of Omeprazole, Gastroguard, Sucralfate, and we tried many different hays, different vitamins, minerals, digestive aids, probiotics, Chiropractic, etc. Some made a bit of difference to his manure and diarrhea, but he grew more lethargic and unhappy. One day in 2013 he had foul discharge from one nostril, so we went to the hospital for suspected tooth infection. As it turned out he had abscesses throughout his sinus cavity, which took 4 ½ hours of surgery to clean up along with more antibiotics and pain meds.
Over the next few months the sinus healed, but his tummy got worse, and he had bouts of mild laminitis during the worst times. More ulcer meds, blood work, feed changes, but he was still not happy, was not rideable and started to look like an old worn-out horse. He had no topline muscle, a big bloated belly and poor coat. His bum and hind legs had to be washed every day. By November of 2015 we were out of options. He was obviously no longer enjoying life.
As a last effort, I started researching how the digestive system works, what it needs to be healthy, to rejuvenate cells, to absorb nutrients. Then I started researching into organic whole foods that provide the essential nutrients to support these functions, and heal the obviously damaged digestive tract. In early December I took him off everything except for hay and water, and started testing some foods on him a bit at a time. Interestingly, he was eager to eat them.
Within a week, his tummy was settling down. Very little belly kicking, shooting diarrhea stopped, but his manure was still a bit loose and quite smelly. I think back on it as toxic waste coming out! Within 3 weeks, G had some light back in his eyes, was more alert and energetic and tummy was less bloated. He was far more comfortable on his feet. I was pretty excited to see some positive results, so researched some more, added a few more foods, and by the end of two months G was looking fantastic. His tummy was almost 100%!
At this point my daughter started some light work with him. He was very unfit and stiff after so many years of not working, but over the course of a month was starting to get back to his old self. By 6 months he was full of beans, bright eyed and enjoying life again.
During this time, a few friends saw the changes in him and wanted to try it on their horses. We also put our other horses on it. Soon word spread, so we thought we’d do a study trial. Horse after horse improved. Tummy issues gone, negative behaviours gone, soft and supple under saddle, and all relaxed and happy.
The opportunity to help so many horses with similar issues led us to the creation of G’s Formula.
Fast-forward to 2019; G’s Formula research is still ongoing, and we added a new product: G’s WIRX. WIRX (pronounced “works”) means many things to us, but most importantly it is a solution to insulin resistance which could have possibly saved our horse Liam many years ago, who had severe insulin resistance. For him, his IR resulted in recurrent laminitis despite being on a very strict low sugar & starch diet and having appropriate exercise. Had this product been available when he was still with us, it may have saved his life.
G’s WIRX did now start with an idea to solve IR. Initially we were looking to create a low sugar/starch wet feed to use in place of beet pulp or hay cubs for horses who needed to be on a strict diet. At that time, we discovered some research on both humans and rats using cranberry to lower insulin levels. Of course, this got us thinking. We took blood from our horse (Suzie) who is IR, and started her on Cranberry powder. After 30 days her insulin levels had dropped, so we consulted a veterinarian, who agreed to run a trial with some of her clients horses who were confirmed IR horses. Fast forward 3 months, and we discovered that some of the horses just weren't showing the drop in insulin levels that we wanted, and their glucose levels were still high. We did some more research, and decided to add in cinnamon. Sure enough, all of the horses started showing a significant glucose drop, and their insulin levels came down to normal levels. Since then, many horses lives have been saved by G’s WIRX. One, specifically, was about to be euthanized, but her owners decided to try one last thing... and now, she is happy, comfortable, and being ridden for the first time in years!
Hopefully in the year to come we will have more products on the way, along with additional research to help even more horses in the future.
