Sand-Gard, produced by Natural Animal Feeds USA, is used as a preventive measure against sand colic and helps to maintain a healthy gut environment, the company says. Sand-Gard contains the seed of the herb Plantago ovata. When consumed, the plant has a mild laxative effect, helping to bulk the food by maintaining water levels in the gut and keeping an even flow along the intestine. Routine feeding of Sand-Gard helps to sweep the sand through the digestive tract. The product, which contains Plantago ovata, Citrus aurantium, Curcuma longa and Rosmarinus officinalis, can be combined with multiple-sourced antioxidants. A 1.4 kg container of Sand-Gard, when fed as directed, will last 30 days.
