This product is ideal for use along side our Biosect Spray.

Great cleaning properties with added Peppermint essential oils to soothe skin irritation as well as repel insects.

What are Feather Mites?

Feather mites are miniscule parasites found on the legs of feathered horses, living on the skin and feeding on the dead skin cells. They can also feed off the scabs formed through Mallenders & Sallenders so the two conditions often go hand in hand.  This leads to an irritated horse with very itchy skin with scabs forming and a cycle of inflammation and itching (caused by the horse rubbing, biting and stamping) which can be very hard to break, especially as the mites are easily transmitted. You can save on vet treatments which only work on the adult mites.  The shampoo helps to keep in control of feather mites week after week, leading to a happier horse and owner!

Directions of use:

The shampoo is a great way to begin acting against the mites, eradicating them on contact, and will clean at the same time. Massage well, down into the skin from the knee downwards to the heels and leave for at least 5 minutes then rinse thoroughly.

Cautions

• Protective vinyl or rubber gloves should be worn.
• Avoid contact with eyes – if contact should occur rinse immediately with plenty of water.
• Harmful if swallowed – do not induce vomiting, seek urgent medical attention showing product label.
• Dispose of empty packaging and any remaining product as household waste – do not recycle used containers.

Apply directly to the feather, mane and tail. Comb in and leave for approximately 5 minutes then rinse out, leaving a silky smooth finish.
