We like that as it addresses both the fungus and bacteria... However things to think about. If the foot and location of the horse is dry we feel that it would work well... If the foot or area that the horse is in is wet, then we believe it could have mixed results because the carries of those products would tend to hold moisture in, therefore giving you mixed results. The petroleum based products help to keep moisture out, but if the foot is wet then it locks in the moisture...if you are in an area where that is a problem, a drying carrier would be better than petroleum..... As always thrush is not an easy thing. Skye We have so many different treatments as we travel to wet and dry locations in the same afternoon....
