“ColiCare was created to give horse owners the ultimate peace of mind,” said Sarah Mann, Vice President of Brand and Customer Experience at SmartPak. “Through the ColiCare program, we’ve been proud and honored to help support thousands of healthy horses. To this day, we continue to hear heart-warming success stories about how our products have changed horses lives.”

Thousands of horse owners across the country have chosen ColiCare to help keep their horses healthy by providing daily digestive support and annual wellness care from the veterinarian. By enrolling in ColiCare, these smart horse owners are also helping to ensure they have the financial resources to provide their horses with the care they deserve.

In addition to being the program of choice for horse owners, ColiCare was also named the #1 Vet-Recommended Colic Surgery Reimbursement Program in the 2016 LeBel Marketing, Veterinary Marketing Survey.

“ColiCare not only helps reinforce the importance of proper, veterinarian-directed wellness care, but also has a seamless, stress-free claim process in the event of colic surgery,” said Lauren Work, DVM from Peninsula Equine Medical Center in Menlo Park, California. “Anytime our clients are making decisions as large as taking a horse to colic surgery, we want the main driving force of the decision to be the horse's best interest, not financial stressors; ColiCare helps our clients achieve that goal.”

Enrolling in ColiCare is fast, easy, and FREE with the purchase of an eligible supplement in SmartPaks. Horse owners can sign up online or over the phone. In celebration of the program’s anniversary, SmartPak is offering special savings on ColiCare eligible supplements throughout the month of August.
