Please read the updated laminitis studies in the Equus April issue. Very informative information on the different types of laminitis(endocrinopathic, inflammatory, and weight-bearing) and their causes. We are also happy to offer special discounts to our Equus readers. Find us on page 80, then type in the link at the bottom of our ad into your browser, and it will take you to a special page with discount codes only for our Equus readers!

The articles explain that the majority of laminitis cases are due to high insulin levels(hyperinsulinemia) and a third of those were horses who were diagnosed with PPID(Cushing’s disease) Theses finding are helping veterinarians understand better, the basics of the disease, and will hopefully help us better prevent the laminitic episodes, and more effectively treat the disease. Our goal at BEET-E-BITES has always been to provide your horse with a safe and delicious treat, and we are happy knowing that the treats are allowing our sensitive horse friends the chance to have a treat!!
