Leovet Anti Bite Gel Chew Deterrent for Horses
Description
Leovet Anti Bite Gel - Long-Lasting Bitter Chew Deterrent
Leovet Anti Bite Gel is a bitter-tasting anti-chew gel that protects wood, metal, plastics, bandages and other stable accessories from being gnawed by horses, and can also be used on manes and tails to discourage nibbling. It is best for owners dealing with a horse or pony that chews stable doors, fencing, rugs or bandaging, and for yards wanting a deterrent that is odourless, colourless and leaves no stains or residues.
The double-concentrated gel formula clings to surfaces with extremely good adhesive strength for long-term protection, and because the active ingredients are bound in the gel it is less likely to enter the respiratory tract than a spray.
