Cavalor Digestion Supplements for Horses
Which Cavalor digestion supplement should you buy?
For most horses the starting point is Cavalor Gastro Aid, which comes in three formats so you can match it to how your horse feeds and how long you need to supplement for: the paste (6 tubes, £78.50) for short, targeted periods such as travel or a competition weekend, the liquid with pump (2000ml, £117.50) for easy daily dosing over a feed, and the powder tub (1800g, £186.50) for longer yard-based routines. If your priority is hindgut balance rather than stomach comfort, Cavalor Vitaflora (2kg, £79.50) is the flora-focused option. This collection holds 8 Cavalor products in total; 4 are in stock today, and prices shown are the current in-stock prices.

How do the in-stock Cavalor digestion supplements compare?
| Product | Format & size | Price | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cavalor Gastro Aid Paste | Oral syringe paste, 6 tubes | £78.50 | Short, defined periods of extra pressure such as travel, competition days or a change of routine, where you want to dose without relying on the horse finishing a feed. |
| Cavalor Gastro Aid Liq + Pump | Liquid, 2000ml, with pump | £117.50 | Daily feeding routines. The pump makes measuring quick and consistent, which helps if several people on the yard feed the same horse. |
| Cavalor Gastro Aid | Powder, 1800g tub | £186.50 | Longer, ongoing stomach-comfort routines where you would rather mix a dry powder into a normal hard feed than handle a liquid or a syringe. |
| Cavalor Vitaflora | Powder, 2kg | £79.50 | Supporting the hindgut and its natural flora, for example after a diet change, a spell of antibiotics under veterinary direction, or a move to new grazing. |
Why does gut health matter so much in horses?
What makes the equine gut different?
Horses are built to trickle-feed, taking in small amounts of fibre through most of the day. Their stomach is small relative to their size and produces acid continuously, so long gaps without forage, sudden feed changes, travel and busy competition schedules can all unsettle things. Supplements do not replace forage, turnout and a sensible feeding plan, but they can support the gut while you get those basics right.
What signs suggest a horse needs digestive support?
Owners commonly notice loose or changeable droppings, a picky appetite, loss of condition or topline despite decent feeding, girthiness, a dull coat, or a change in attitude under saddle. These signs are not specific to one cause, so treat them as a prompt to call your vet rather than a diagnosis. Digestive supplements are a supportive tool alongside veterinary advice, not a substitute for it, and they are not medicines.
Powder, paste or liquid: which format works best?
When is the paste the right choice?
Paste in tubes is the most practical option when you need a controlled dose at a specific moment, such as before loading, on a show morning, or when a horse is off its feed and might not clear a bucket. Each tube is self-contained, so there is nothing to weigh out at a lorry park.
When does the liquid or powder make more sense?
If your horse eats a hard feed reliably every day, the liquid with its pump or the powder tub are usually the easier and more economical routine. The 2000ml Cavalor Gastro Aid Liq + Pump suits yards where consistency between different people feeding matters, while the 1800g Cavalor Gastro Aid powder tub is the dry-feed version of the same range for owners who prefer not to handle a liquid.
Can you use a stomach product and a flora product together?
Many owners pair a Gastro Aid format for stomach comfort with Cavalor Vitaflora for the hindgut, because they focus on different parts of the digestive tract. Before combining supplements, check the total daily intake with your vet or a qualified equine nutritionist, especially if your horse is already on a fortified feed or a prescribed treatment.
How should you introduce and use these supplements?
Always follow the feeding rate printed on the pack for your horse's bodyweight, and introduce any new supplement gradually over several days alongside unchanged forage. Keep the rest of the diet stable while you assess whether it is helping, give it a fair trial period rather than judging after a few days, and store tubs and tubes sealed, cool and dry. If your horse is competing under FEI or national rules, check the current product information for competition suitability before you feed it.
Cavalor digestion supplements: frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest Cavalor digestion supplement in stock?
Cavalor Gastro Aid Paste is the lowest-priced in-stock option at £78.50 for 6 tubes, followed by Cavalor Vitaflora at £79.50 for 2kg. Because the formats and pack sizes differ, it is worth comparing cost per day at your horse's feeding rate rather than pack price alone.
Will a Cavalor supplement cure my horse's ulcers?
No. These are feed supplements, not medicines, and they do not treat or cure gastric ulcers or any other diagnosed condition. Ulcers need veterinary diagnosis, usually by gastroscopy, and veterinary treatment. A digestive supplement may be used to support the gut alongside that plan if your vet agrees it is appropriate.
How long before I see a difference?
It varies with the horse, the product and what else is changing in the diet. Most owners give a supplement a few weeks at the recommended rate, keeping forage and workload consistent, before deciding whether it is helping. Note what you are actually watching for, such as droppings, appetite or condition, so you have something concrete to judge.
Which Cavalor product is best for the hindgut rather than the stomach?
Cavalor Vitaflora, 2kg at £79.50, is the option in this collection aimed at supporting the hindgut and its natural microbial balance. The Gastro Aid formats are aimed at stomach comfort. Owners often use them for different situations, and sometimes together, after checking the overall diet with a vet or nutritionist.
Can I feed these to a horse that is competing?
Competition rules change, so never assume. Check the current pack and manufacturer information against the rules of your governing body before you feed anything to a competing horse, and speak to your vet if you are unsure. If you would like help finding the current product information, get in touch and our team will help.
