How can COAT DEFENSE® help?

We love our horses. At the end of the day, we just want them to be comfortable, happy, and healthy. Battling chronic equine skin conditions can be a long, stressful, painful process, for us and our horse. COAT DEFENSE® is out to change the way we go about treating these skin problems by creating a product that utilizes natural, readable ingredients. We've created something new for the equine community that can not only help us treat these issues, but prevent them in the first place.

“I can not thank COAT DEFENSE® enough for their immediate response to my desperate seek for help! This could not have happened at a worse time! Rain, nasty mud and fear of a staph in stagnant water and unmucked stalls. I continued to clean and wrap and apply antibiotic ointment until I was overwhelmed with proud flesh, but in fear of exposing to the nasty elements at hand. COAT DEFENSE® rescued my horse! I’m so grateful. Within a day or two samples arrived at my home. I applied everyday or every other day to the affected areas and washed the wound with water and betadine as necessary. The results are excellent as you can see!!!! THANK YOU!” — SHANAN MAJORS, CALIFORNIA
