Frequently asked questions
How often and how many Funky Unicorn Support Chews can I give my horse?
There is a convenient dosing chart on each package, which is based on the weight of your horse. We recommend no more than 10-12 cubes per event/day for an average 950 pound horse. It is very important that your horse has access to adequate water supply when giving our product since one of the the goals of the electrolytes chews is to increase your horse's desire to hydrate. Funky Unicorn Electrolyte/Gastric Support Chews can also be an everyday treat as a reward, providing your horse has adequate access to water.
How much electrolytes are in each cube?
Funky Unicorn Electrolyte Support Chews are manufactured in a pharmaceutical facility to contain the precise amount of electrolytes in every single cube and are a mild electrolyte replacement. The Funky Unicorn Electrolyte Support Chews are not meant to replace a current electrolyte program and are perfect to be given when your horse needs them most to recover and hydrate, so they are convenient to have on hand.
How do I introduce Funky Unicorn Electrolyte or Gastric Support Chews to my horse?
Funky Unicorn Electrolyte or Gastric Support Chews taste sweet and savory, which can surprise horses on their first taste because they usually expect a sugary treat when first introduced. Give your horse a few taste tests to explore the taste. Within a few chews, 90+% of horses love them! We recommend post riding as the best way to introduce Funky Unicorn Electrolyte Support Chews as horses crave salt after activity and will help horses with muscle recovery and encourage hydration. Some horses may take longer to adjust to salty sweetness, but it is well worth the effort so they will take it willingly if your horse ever starts to tie up or not drink.
