Within two weeks I could see a noticeable weight gain. His coat became so soft – almost like velvet. In two months, Kid gained almost 50 pounds. During those first two months, Kid was not being ridden so his weight gain was not due to increase in muscle mass. Now that Kid has reached a healthy weight, I am going to keep using Karbo Combo so that he can continue to benefit from all that it does.
I want to thank Karbo Combo for playing such an important role in the rehabilitation of my beautiful rescued Appaloosa.”

Dr. Smith,
I have used Karbo Combo Pellets for almost 1 year and have noticed a difference on how my horses feel & look. I keep my performance horses on Karbo Combo Pellets and have not had one get sick since I started using this product. I am anxious to see how the breeding season goes this year. I have put my broodmares on Karbo Combo Pellets.

I wanted to thank you for Karbo Combo Pellets. It has made a huge difference in my horse Sweetie. About 2 years ago she was diagnosed with a guttural pouch. Her nose was running a lot and she had fainting spells.
I started giving her Karbo Combo Pellets. No more problems. She is 22 years old and really doing great.
Thanks for your great products and service. I have attached pictures of her.
Thank you,

“I have been telling a lot of my clients about Karbo Combo (for horses) and Essentials (for dogs or cats) for the last year and the conditions it helps with.
I have my own personal story to add to that now, as one of our horses, my nine year old quarter horse Huck, got very sick last Saturday. What stated out like colic, ended up a serious neurological condition that by Monday he was using the wall to help him stand.
We began giving him 2 ounces of Karbo Combo 3 times a day. We saw steady improvement every day. One week later he is walking and trotting and playing with his friends. We had the vet out to run blood tests and so far he has came back negative for Lymes, we are waiting for the West Nile results, which often come back negative regardless.
During the whole episode I was on the phone with Dr. Russell Smith from Portage Wisconsin, the developer of the Karbo Products.
On Sunday, we were fortunate enough to spend the morning with Dr. Smith. We went over his research and what the Karbo Products do. OMG!! After seeing my own horse and what has happened with so many of my clients horses, we are putting all our horses on a maintenance dose.
The beauty of these products: they are organic and non pharmaceutical and even well horses do better. I have several cases with awesome results.

I started my Tennessee Walking horse, Mikey, on Karbo Combo a few months ago, around February. He has chronic summertime allergies, so I had planned to try the KC product to help him with that. However, he had consistent diarrhea, so I started him sooner. His diarrhea stopped after just a few days and nothing else changed for him diet wise so it had to be the KC that helped it. Will fill you in on the allergy situation as the summer progresses.
The other horses got some too and the results were fantastic! Our other TWH gelding’s legs grew longer,or so I thought, until I realized it was the lack of bloating that was missing. He is 27 so growing longer legs really wasn’t possible! And all of them have a lot of good energy and dapples.
Recommending KC to all of my clients, and hope to have a horse world filled with glowing horses!
Thank You,

“I started my barrel horse on the Epic II CL and the Karbo Pellets about a month ago. She had lost weight, her coat was dull, her performance was down and she showed symptoms of EPM. After 30 days on the double dose of these products and some time off, she is a different animal! She has gained back at least 150 lbs and is working like never before! I plan to keep her on the maintenance does of Karbo Combo and get my other horse on the program too. Thank you, I am so glad I found out about your product.

I wanted to take some time to thank you for an OUTstanding product.
I received a rescue horse in Nov 2008. The first 2 days he couldn’t even stand to eat and had to be hand fed. I just wasn’t able to put weight on him and he seemed to have a loss of coordination. I called my vet back out to re-evaluate him. In mid-Dec 2008 we finally got a diagnosis. He has EPM. What a heartbreaker for me. I have been laid off from my job since June and there was just no way I could afford 800.00 a month for 1 to 3 months for the treatment with Marquis. My vet put Cash on steroids for 10 days and I was left with a heartbreaking decision. Could I come up with the money to treat Cash or would I have to put him down? He had absolutely no coordination in the left hind quarter. He could barely get around at a walk and no way could he trot orcanter.He would just stand all day with his head hanging down. Sometimes he would finish hisfeed but most times he wouldn’t.
A few days later my farrier came out to do feet. He recommended I call Vivian Binder in Arapahoe, NC. He told me that she could tell me about a product that was showing great success in treating horses with EPM and was considerably less expensive than Marquis. I called Vivian and she explained to me how Karbo-Combo worked and I put in an order. I cannot tell you what a God send this product has been.
I started Cash on 2 ounces 2x a day and noticed a marked improvement within a couple of weeks. Within 1 month he had put on much needed weight and was now trotting down the pasture and kicking up his heels!!! He is now there to meet me at feeding time with his head held high and almost up to a normal weight. I am attaching a couple of pictures (see below) for you to see what a wonderful result your product has produced in my sweet boy. Cash is still on the 2oz 2x a day dosage until his weight recovers completely and his system can fight off the protozoa. I will then keep him on a maintenance dose. I tried lowering the dose but he almost immediately started to get down again. Keep in mind that this horse was more than 350 pounds underweight when he arrived and had only put on about 50 pounds before the Karbo-Combo treatment.
My sincerest regards,

Dr. Smith,
I want to sincerely Thank You for producing the Karbo products. My colt “Max” was treated for EPM this past June and while it made a difference, he had still not regained enough strength in his hindquarters to undergo a chiro adjustment 4 months after being treated. This well known equine chiro suggested I contact you and to get Max started on the Karbo/EPIC CL as soon as possible.
Although I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical, I was so discouraged by Max’s lack of progress I figured I’d give it a try. First of all I have to comment on how patient you were with me on the phone when I first placed the order. You took the time to explain the product, the changes I could expect to see in my horse and you encouraged me to stay in touch regarding his progress which I did. You were very responsive with my email questions and I was impressed with how quickly you emailed back. Next, the product arrived very quickly, within 3 business days – another plus!
Finally and most importantly.. after feeding the Karbo for only ONE MONTH my colt has progressed so much that even the chiro was amazed at the level of strength he had regained and said he was a completely different horse! “Max” now knows where his back feet are and I was told to start giving him steady workouts to rebuild his muscles – something I am more than happy to do and something I thought I might never be able to.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart for the product you have developed as well as your time. I will continue to keep Max on a maintenance level of Karbo going forward and I have since recommended Karbo to friends touting all of it’s benefits!
– Sincerely, Tracy & “Max” Georgetown, TX
I have been feeding Karbo Combo to my mare for about three months. She has always had a worm count over 1,000 after two months. With Karbo I had her tested two months post worming and her count was only 500 half of what it normally is ! Also her reaction to bug bites is much less severe than before.
Thanks for your product !

“I have a 20-year-old Quarter Horse gelding, Poco, which I’ve owned for 6 years. Living in Rhode Island, we are very exposed to Lyme and I believe he must have had it before I bought him although it didn’t present right away. I have had him treated with doxycycline twice. The last dosage was for 60 days in the fall of 2010. In April 2011 I had a titer taken and was discouraged to find that indeed the Lyme was back and the titer was 1280 which is considered a moderate positive. Vets don’t begin treatment until the titer is 2500, yet my horse was very stiff and uncomfortable. I didn’t want to wait until he became more uncomfortable and I really didn’t want to put him through another 60 days of antibiotics.
Just about this time, I had learned about Karbo Combo from a Clinton Anderson tour and I called you to discuss treatment. You recommended I put him on a loading dose, 2 ox. 2x day for three weeks which I did from April 22 to 13 May On May 12 th we corresponded and I told you his manure was looking much healthier and he seemed a little less stiff. You replied that the change in manure was a sure indication that things were changing in his gut.
Poco’s condition continued to improve and I put him on 1 oz. twice a day on 13 May for 6 weeks. Poco received schooling almost every day in the ring. I either rode him or ground worked him as we are going through the Clinton Anderson Fundamentals training. As he improved I began taking him out on trail rides. Our first ride was moderate and we covered 6 miles. Our second ride was longer and harder and he was very agile. His coat is glowing and he looks great.
This past week- June 13- 4 weeks into the 6 weeks of 1 oz 2x/day, he began to stiffen up again and I started to see a lot of tripping during a 12-mile hunter pace event. The tripping has always been indicative of Lyme for Poco. His manure has also gone back to small balls. I called you today to ask about returning to the loading dosage and you agreed we should try it for 2 weeks. I will start on 21 June. It’s very clear that Karbo Combo has a positive effect on Lyme. My horse has a chronic condition and I think it will take additional loading dosages to get him back to feeling well. Overall, I’m very impressed with this product and will continue to use it on my horse.
