Daily Red® Fortified Garlic - Horse Vitamin & Mineral Supplement

Garlic is a powerful plant that must be fed in proper amounts. Horses can consume too much garlic either from over-supplementing or eating garlic in the wild. We’ve taken care to ensure Daily Red Garlic servings fall within the National Research Council’s recommendations.

Yes, in rare cases, garlic-induced anemia can occur if a horse is snacking on wild garlic in pastures or receives too much from a supplement. Studies show feeding more than 0.4 grams per kilogram of body weight in freeze-dried garlic may lead to Heinz body anemia in horses. To put that in perspective, that’s the equivalent of feeding a 1,100-pound horse 200 or more grams per day, which is just under half a pound. While that amount could be consumed by horses eating wild garlic, it’s unlikely you’d purposefully feed that much.

As a precaution and to ensure the best outcome, consult your veterinarian before feeding any Redmond garlic product to pregnant mares.

The garlic oil in Daily Red Fortified Garlic is bioidentical to natural garlic and 12x stronger than dried. It also has consistent bioactive compounds and a stable shelf life. Learn more about the different forms of garlic for horses.

You should not feed horses garlic year-round. Follow Daily Red Fortified Garlic’s dosing instructions based on your horse’s size, and use only during fly season. Use Fortified Garlic for a maximum of 6 consecutive months before switching back to regular Daily Red Fortified. Learn more about when to cycle horses on and off garlic seasonally.

We always recommend using a Daily Red product in combination with a Daily Gold product. However, all Daily Red products are loose mineral salts and should not be fed simultaneously to avoid overconsumption of salt. Read about our recommended Daily Duo horse mineral supplements here.

Start feeding Daily Red Crushed Garlic 2–3 weeks before fly season starts at your location. Regular consumption will create an odor that pests stay away from, but it takes 2–3 weeks for that to happen.

Remember, Daily Red Fortified Garlic is not a pesticide; it is a repellent. Pests may still hover nearby, but you will see fewer flies and ticks landing on and biting horses.

Feed the recommended dose daily to encourage hydration, deliver trace minerals, and act as a natural repellent for flies, mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects. You can overfeed garlic, but if you follow the dosage instructions, your horse will be safe.
