Who’s ready for fireworks this weekend? 🎆

We may enjoy sparkles and booms while celebrating the holiday, but horses often feel differently. Keep your horses safe and happy with these top tips from our fans:

1) Drown out firework noise with a radio or by turning barn fans on high.
2) Use ear poms or noise-reducing fly bonnets.
3) Offer extra hay as a positive distraction.
4) Feed Purina® Outlast® Gastric Support Supplement 30-60 minutes before the fireworks display to help ease stress-related gastric upset : https://bit.ly/3Al83xG

Happy Independence Day from Team Purina!

Meet Blake. He was on this
Earth for too short of a time. Their time on Earth is never long enough.! He was blessed to live out his glory days in his loving owner’s care. He had an impact on many...many more then he will ever know. I am so sorry that I didn’t get to say good bye or see you later to this big guy. I didn’t think the last pictures I took of you would be the last time that I saw you. You are loved and missed big guy.
