Beet-E-Bites Pill Pockets-SAFE?
|
Jennifer Boydstun
We were having trouble getting our boy to eat Pergolide in anything. I ordered the Beet-E-Bite pill pockets apple flavored and he gobbled up his medicine. Are they Safe? the starch seems high at 4.9%.
They are tested by Equi-Analytical Labs and are 3.3% ESC (Simple sugars) and 4.9% Starch for a total value @ 8.2%. Recommendations for carbohydrate sensitive horses are 10% and under. -- Jennifer Boydstun Folsom, Ca.

They're not likely to be a problem unless feeding them in meal size amounts!

Great! Thank you, giving 1 per day just to get the medication in. I break it up in 4 pieces. first piece as a primer, 2 pieces loaded with pergolide and the last piece without meds. i feed them all right after each other quickly. -- Jennifer Boydstun Folsom, Ca.

Hi Jennifer,
I've been using the Beet-e-Bites pill pockets for a year and a half with Relevante and he has experienced no issues. One thing we noted.....if the caregiver did not squeeze the opening of the pill pocket closed Relevante would act fussy about taking it. If she squeezed the pill pocket closed he gobbled it up (did he smell the pill??). We even did an "experiment" once we realized the pattern and tested him. So now everyone knows to put the capsule in the pill pocket and squeeze it shut! Problem solved. -- Lynn Beavercreek, Ohio March 2018 Relevante Case History Relevante Photo Album Ω |
