leovet fly protection: what every horse owner needs to know

If you’ve ever watched your horse turn into a tail-swishing, head-tossing, fly-dodging ninja during the summer months, you know how annoying and uncomfortable flies can be. That’s where Leovet fly protection comes galloping in to save the day. Whether you're riding, grooming, or just trying to keep your four-legged friend sane in the stable, Leovet’s lineup has you covered.

why fly protection matters for your horse

understanding the threat: it’s more than just irritation

Flies aren’t just an itchy nuisance—they can also be carriers of disease and cause skin irritation. Horseflies, for instance, have a painful bite and can even spread equine infectious anemia. That makes fly protection essential, not optional.

During the warmer months, flies multiply quickly, and horses working up a sweat are basically a five-star buffet for these pests. That’s why choosing the right fly repellent is key to keeping your horse happy and healthy.

real-life example: meet molly the mare

Molly, a 10-year-old Thoroughbred, was constantly bothered by flies during turnout. After trying numerous sprays that barely lasted an hour, her owner switched to Leovet Power Phaser Fly Spray. Not only did it offer up to 7 hours of protection, but it also stayed effective even after Molly had a good gallop and sweat session.

tips for getting the most out of your fly repellent

application matters

Don't just spritz and hope. Make sure to apply spray evenly and generously, especially on areas like the neck, flanks, and legs. For sensitive spots, opt for the roll-on instead of trying to spray near your horse’s eyes or muzzle.

combine protection methods

For maximum effectiveness, combine fly sprays with other methods like fly masks, fly rugs, and good stable hygiene. The more barriers you create, the less inviting your horse will be to those buzzing pests.

reapply as needed

Even long-lasting sprays benefit from reapplication on especially sweaty days. Monitor how your horse responds and adjust accordingly.
