NB: 48hrs withholding before competition or race days. Use Alleve8 Compete as an alternative.
This formulation has evolved from a consideration of the dangers of administering phenylbutazone (Bute) routinely to horses sensitive to its side effects. Traditionally White Willow Bark and Devils Claw were used to manage pain. Guaiacum was traditionally used for Gout and Burdock as a blood cleanser for Rheumatoid processes. Maritime Pine Bark, Rosehips, Elecampane with its Allantoin content , together with Yarrow in a Vinegar base all support and encourage repair.
This formulation may be used safely for both emergencies and in the long term for comfort.
The tonic will need to be given continuously for a minimum of 3 weeks, and can be maintained long term if necessary. Improvements are usually observed within 3-6 weeks on the tonic.
Fermented tonic to support a healthy microbiota.

A hoof abscess can cause a horse owner to panic when the horse is suddenly suffering from severe lameness with no visible injury. A hoof abscess is pus in the hoof that can be dealt with quickly and cleanly, however, complications can develop...
In today’s age, horses can easily live up to the age of 30 thanks to the mutual effort of owners, veterinarians and equine herbalists. While the worldwide senior population is growing, keeping the right weight of your elder steeds is crucial to racking up the years and can sometimes be a complex process.

Great product, works very well on pain
Review byAmy027
I have a 23yo quarter horse who has osteoarthritis in his joints and would get around very slowly and painfully looking. I tried Cartrophen forte injections, 4Cyte and Rosehip vital all with varying levels of success, but this has been a game changer. After 1 month I’ve noticed that he no longer looks sore AT ALL. It’s been incredible and this will definitely be staying in his diet for the rest of his life.

Fast acting
Review bySue
I use this on a laminitic prone Shetland. He invariably shows improvement from the next day, and is happy in his movement from Day 2.

Great product
Review byJan
My older Belgian Warmblood mare has arthtitic issues in her lower hind legs . My farrier was having a problem doing trimming on her hind feet because it hurt her to put all her weight on the hoof not being trimmed. He has noticed a great improvement since I have had her on this product. She is noticeably moving better too. I will recommend this product . So much safer than Bute.

Lamanitis OTTB
Review byRobyn
Our rescued OTTB Sycamore had come in with laminitis. He was on BHUTE and in a lot of pain. We desperately sought out help and fell upon McDowells Herbal. Being very unexperienced, we felt a bit lost. Cath had such conviction, certainty and faith in the emergency laminitis program including the Allev8 that we felt a huge sense of relief and hope. Within 1 week we could see the difference. It was a miracle. After 3 months on the program, Sycamore was completely out of the woods and racing around like he had never before. Thank you Cath McDowell!

Great product
Review byMackenzie
Have been using this for both my horses. One with arthritis and the other with a nasal frontal stature.
The one with arthritis has been galloping around the paddocks where as before he used to just stand around all day.
Have been using this everyday.

Vital Preparation
Review byKeiron Duyst
I have always had Alleve8 on hand in the event my ponies have a laminitic episode. It has proven to be a salvation on many occasions with its valuable blend of herbs.It is imperative that all other aspects of diet are addressed to facilitate maximum favourable outcome from medication.

Good
Review byBarb
I have been using Alleviate on several of my horses for a couple of years now ,where there is need for pain relief, but not long term bute usage. I find pretty good results, with just the odd day or two of bute when needed.the two horses are both old ...34 and 31. Two lamanitic ponies have also been on Alleviate ,following the short term course of bute.They are 27 and 20 and all are comfortable enough to still enjoy life.

Most Effective
Review byGill
This product has worked so well to give my horses relief. I have only recently started using it, and am already committed to making sure I have a supply ready in the welfare kit. It was particularly effective on a mare that was suffering terribly through laminitis and today for the first time in months she was zooming with the rest of the herd!! Thank you McDowells
