Pipettes are a popular means of controlling parasites in dogs and cats. But did you know that these chemicals can also be very harmful for horses? In this article, we explain why pipettes are actually poison for horses and why it is better to choose natural alternatives.
💥💥Pipettes contain hazardous substances
Most pipettes contain insecticides such as permethrin or fipronil. These substances are very effective against fleas and ticks in dogs, but are downright poison for a horse. In fact, horses are much more sensitive to these chemical pesticides than other animals. Even a small amount can cause:
- Skin irritation and itching
- Neurological problems such as coordination loss
- Gastrointestinal problems such as colic
The risk is extra high when a dog treated with a pipette comes into contact with a horse. The chemicals can then be easily transmitted.
💥💥Choose natural alternatives
Fortunately, there are also natural ways to prevent and control parasites in horses, without using poisons and chemicals. Consider, for example:
- Using natural-based products such as shampoo, oil, cream or leg cleaner.
- The use of herbs.
- Applying diatomaceous earth to the coat
- Building resilience through a balanced diet
- Regular brushing and grooming of the coat
By choosing these natural methods, you work in harmony with nature and avoid exposing your horse to harmful chemicals.
💥💥Conclusion
Pipettes may be effective on dogs, but for horses they are downright dangerous. It is therefore important that horse owners are aware of the risks and choose natural, animal-friendly alternatives to control parasites. That way you keep your horse close to nature and healthy and happy, without using unnecessary chemics. If it is nevertheless necessary do so only on the advice of the vet but do not doctor yourself.
