Testimonies for Dog and Horse Skin Care Products

Equine Elite Labs Antimicrobial products are a non-toxic formulation which are designed specifically to protect animals and handlers from the possibility of contracting infections in their respective environments. This would include all major classes of pathogenic (disease causing) microorganisms including viruses, bacteria and fungus.

These unique proprietary mixtures of extremely effective compounds (quaternary components like benzalkonium chloride and quaternium 12) provide the superb action which clearly sets this formulation apart from other currently used products. Unlike many other formulations that contain providone iodine, which after continued use produce a drying, irritating effect on the skin, these formulations have been shown in laboratory tests to be more effective in killing resistant bacterial strains, yet at the same time keeping the area of concern soft and moist, even with repeated daily use for the animal and handler.

I've been asked many times to explain in layman's terms, just how this process of killing microbes occurs. These solutions work on what we'll call the positive and negative charge system. Let's use the example of a car battery and say that the solution is the positive charge and the microbes the negative charge. We are all aware of what occurs when the two ends of the cables touch one another.... POW!!! The shell of the organism is broken open by the "Shock", spilling out its life and therefore killing it. This is what is happening millions of times over when the solution comes in contact with the microorganisms.

The next step is the healing process. It begins when the irritation, which is caused by the microorganisms, stops. Now the conditioners and healing moiturizers can do their job in bringing the affected area back to its normal healthy state.

Same technology.... different formulations. It needs to be pointed out that many different products for specific uses are available with this NEW technology as was developed for Equine Elite Labs.

Comments Regarding Proud Flesh

The issue of the appearance or development of what is known as "Proud Flesh Syndrome", according to the reports and data we are receiving from users of our Equine Relief Antimicrobial products is significantly reduced or essentially absent in the healing phase of the dermally ill or injured animals being observed.

I offer the following rational explaination as to why this is probably occurring: Our antimicrobial skin products contain a proprietary blend of synergistic ingredients including several quaternary compounds and complementary emollients plus carrier surfactants, which encourage and allow for maximum contact of the product to the area or surface being treated.

As a result:

1) A wide variety of microbes are significantly reduced

2) Swelling or inflammation is attenuated or appreciably reduced

3) Dermal tissue with its respective "Structural Blueprint" or DNA is allowed to "Seal and Heal" appropriately without significant loss of function or production of scar tissue.

By maximally encouraging a tissue environment that provides for more rapid healing of a given tissue, the opportunity for the "Proud Flesh Syndrome" is appreciably minimized.

As a side note, these products are successfully employed on the dermis along with appropriate dressing following podiatric surgeries to prevent infection and encourage rapid healing.

In conclusion, providing homeostasis in a given tissue site is the goal of our products. Synergism is our philosophy for their effectiveness.

"The Equine Body Wash worked so well on my poor gelding, we can no longer refer to him as Barebottom. He now has hair on his bum! It's so nice to see him grazing happily in the field and no being driven mad by the itching he was suffering from. I had tried everything I could think of for the poor guy, but the Equine Relief Body Wash lived up to its name and worked nearly instantly. We are now seeing the hair grow back on his bottom, his neck and various other parts. Thank you very much! ...Pat Wagner, WA

"I am completely sold on your products. After having three mishaps with three different horses and using your products on all three, the scars are almost non-existant. I never have to deal with proud flesh, and the wounds heal faster than even my vet can believe. Thank you for myself and my horses for a product that is painless and works so quickly!

Just for your information, the first incident I had was with a standardbred mare that laid down in pasture, rolled and caughter her leg in a hay ring and cast herself. In her distress, she ripped the flesh off her rear leg from hock to fetlock. The bone was exposed. The vet was called and of course he washed and dressed the wound. The mare was put on antibiotics for about a week. After the first week, the vet said that I would soon have to start dealing with proud flesh and learn how to cut if off. That was enough for me... I got on line and found your site. I ordered the Wound Relief and used it religiously. No one would ever know that her whole leg had been laid open.

My second experience was with a three month old colt. He must have been running beside his mother and got pushed or slipped .. and ran into the horse fence. He hit it so hard that it pulled the fence away from the T-post got caught between the post and the fence. To make matters worse, the hooks that hold the fence to the T-post dug into his side and inner thigh. Worse yet, his fetlock was punctured. Again, the vet was called. The vet wanted this foal sent right away to the University of Michigan as she had just lost another foal from the same type of injury because infection had started in the joint and they had to put the other foal down. I'm sorry, but I can't afford $3000 or $4000 every time one of my horses has an accident. I told her we would keep him here in a shelter with his mother. I started using the Wound Relief the following day. I continued to use the wound relief and the vet, again, could not believe how quickly the wounds healed! So you see, I can't begin to tell you how much you are appreciated!"Tereasa Vasquez - MI

"I just wanted to let you know, WOUND RELIEF has saved another one of our animals! My little Jack Russel Terrier got a snake bite under her neck. The second day, when the infection burst, it left a jagged tear in her throat and under her chin. The next day, the skin sloughed off leaving a hole as big as my hand. Needless to say, when I found her, I began using WOUND RELIEF around the snake bite holes. Now she gets 2 treatments a day with the WOUND RELIEF. Her temperature is back to normal, she's back to her happly little self and even though she is still missing skin, I can tell that it will only be a matter of time before she's back to normal.

Thank you again for your "wound-erful" product!

"My mare was severly cut on barbed wire during a freak storm. I have kept her wounds germ free with your antimicrobial solution and Equine Antimicrobial Spray. My Vet couldn't believe how quickly she has healed! "  kathy Lee, Lee Cattle & Quarter Horses, Vale, SD

"Our 2 year old gelding "Cash" had been suffering and itching severely for over a year. He had major hair loss from under his chin, down his neck, across his chest, a 10" wide stripe from between his front legs all the way under his belly and down both back legs. It was still spreading and itching and he was miserable! It was itching so badly, he was cutting himself up on the fences trying to find relief. Our vet said that he had an alergy to flies. We thought we had tried everything on the market trying to get rid of this ... until we found your Rain Rot Relief. We were AMAZED that we could see noticable results after the first day of applying the solution! On the second day, we saw his hair starting to grow back! This is unbelievable! His itching was reduced immediately and was completely gone within days! I'm sending you photos that we have taken. We're ten days into his treatment at this point, and most of the fungus is gone. I'm telling everyone that FINALLY we found something that actually works... Equine Relief Antimicrobial Rain Rot Relief!!!" S. Carter , High View Ranch

"Our top Cutting Stallion developed a girth itch that we couldn't relieve. We saw that Equine Elite Labs had a product developed for this type of problem. We had tried everything that we could find to rid our stallion of his itch & fungus... then we tried your Equine Antimicrobial Body Wash.. and the itching and fungus were relieved almost immediately! We washed the cinches in your Cinch & Blanket Wash... and continued using the Body Wash on a daily basis just to make sure the problem was gone... to our surprise, the fungus and itch never returned on our stallion! We had another horse that was constantly bothered by scratches on his legs. We used your Rain Rot Relief on her.... and the scratches went away after two applications! We love the products and recommend them to every horse owner!" (Colorado Stallion Owner)

"My friend's filly had rubbed herself raw! Nothing he tried stopped her from itching! We used your antimicrobial body wash for horses and the itching stopped Immediately! Her hair is already growing back!! The vet said "Whatever you're using, DON'T STOP!""  L. Roe, KS

"I came across your products quite by accident, not knowing that your company is fairly new to the horse industry. After talking to you on the phone and explaining what problems I was having with my horses, I purchased your products and used them as instructed. I was amazed at how fast the products worked on them! The Body Wash relieved the constant itch that one of my horses was having and left his skin soft and the hair shiny. We also had a fungus problem with another horse and what seemed to be a dry skin problem. Considering how dry it is here in Colorado, I used your product on this animal also. The problem seemed to go away over night! Thank you for your assistance and for the wonderful products. I am looking forward to trying your other products and they are a joy to use. By the way, our Veterinarian is very impressed with your products also...... Sincerely, Bob. XRL Paint Horses"

"Thank You, thank you, thank you for your wonderful products! My horse is a happy camper again! As I had explained to you, I had problems with my horse's skin. He was constantly scratching on trees, fence posts and ME! He itched even worse when he was bathed... and he never stood still when I washed him. When I washed him in your Equine Relief Antimicrobial Body Wash.... I had to laugh... he stood so still... and let out a sigh as if to say "aaahhhhh"... like he couldn't believe he had actually quit itching!! I couldn't believe that it was INSTANT! HE'S LIKE A DIFFERENT HORSE NOW! His coat is so soft and shiny too! I will always use your body wash... and I'm also telling everyone I can about how great it is! Ruth"  (Colorado Horse Owner)

"I just wanted to tell you that I have told so many people about your horse products!! These are as good as the invention of sliced bread! Now a little note to make your day. Our only son had some reconstructive surgery done, with over 60 stitches in his face. Yep, you guessed it.. I used the Antimicrobial spray for 2 days, then went to the Wound Relief Cream for complete healing. When he returned back to the surgeon in one week for the stitches to be removed, the assistant to the doctor said 'what good healing in two weeks time'. My son told her 'no, only a week has gone by'. She grabbed the chart and said "No Way!" .. her eyes couldn't believe it.. she said "it really is ONE week! WOW! You heal FAST!" Since my son is a teenager, we were sworn to secrecy about using HORSE products... LOL. We never did tell the doctor. I just wanted to share this with you, as we have talked before about the incredible healing properties of your products." Judy A. - Pennsylvania
