A: Howdy neighbor! Yes, Absorbine Bute-Less Pellets can generally be given to insulin-resistant horses, but you must use caution due to a hidden source of sugar. While the active comfort ingredients like Devil's Claw and yucca are completely safe for metabolic conditions, the inactive ingredients include dried molasses, which can trigger blood sugar spikes if your horse is highly sensitive.

A: Bute-Less Comfort & Recovery Supplements are meant to be given daily on an ongoing basis for the long-term. For many horses, that means for the rest of their lives.

A: Similar to many supplements for horses Bute-Less is adjusted and administered according to the weight of the animal. If you do not know the weight of your horse you can use a weight tape to estimate. One scoop is the amount for an 1,100 lb horse which is the average weight but it can vary widely for different breeds etc. Thanks!

A: We cannot recommend use of Bute-Less Supplements with Alpacas as we have not done the testing. Please consult your veterinarian.

A: Yes, Bute-Less is approved for all equines. You can adjust the daily serving size to the weight of the donkey according to the label.

A: The scoop included in Bute-Less Pellets is one (1) dry ounce. One ounce is the recommended daily amount for an 1,100 pound horse, which is simply the identified "average" size horse. You must adjust the amount by weight for your particular horse. If your horse weighs 1,650 lbs, then you'd need to serve them 1 and 1/2 scoops per day for example. The 2 lb bag has 32 days-worth for the average 1,100 lb horse. Bute-Less pellets are also available from Tractor Supply in a 5 lb, 80 day bucket. Bute-Less is also available in a 32-day liquid solution form useful for horses that prefer liquid soaked into their grain, and a 3-day paste syringe useful for travelling or in cases where the horse needs the product fed directly to them.

A: We would recommend replacing the product with new. Please contact Absorbine directly with your situation so that we can resolve it for you. -Team Absorbine

A: Bute-Less Supplement comes in 3 forms: Pellets, Solution and Paste Syringe. We recommend you stick to the recommended feeding level on the label. The amount you feed is dependent on the weight of the horse, so adjust up or down accordingly. If you feel you need to increase the serving, we'd recommend you consult your veterinarian. The ingredient Devil's Claw is a bitter herb, so it still has the potential to irritate the stomach if fed at high doses.
