Comments: I use omeprazole as a preventative for my horse when I trailer him and when he is stabled away from home for a show or clinic. He is a very anxious type and it has worked will with him. We have never had an ulcer problem in spite of him being very agitated in certain unfamiliar places/situations. It also puts my mind at ease knowing he has this protection.

Comments: This is one of those products where it's expensive so you try a bunch of other things hoping they will work, but nothing is quite as effective as ulcergard. For horses with ulcer symptoms, you can see the effects within just a few days when using it for treatment and seems to keep problems from popping up during high stress like travel or at a show. I always give preventative doses to my more sensitive horse after a bad bout of ulcers a few years back and so far we've been able to keep them at bay.

Comments: Omeprazole is expensive, but I use it every time I travel as preventative against my horses developing ulcers. It really works.
