In this category, you will find various sprays and care products that help reduce the presence of fleas and ticks and are easy to apply.

Good protection against these parasites contributes to your horse’s comfort. Tick bites can cause irritation and in some cases transmit pathogens (Lyme disease). When choosing a suitable product, it is important to consider your horse’s living environment, the sensitivity of the skin and the ease of use of the product. Regular inspection of the skin and coat also remains essential to detect parasites in time.
Fleas are less common in horses than in other pets, but under certain conditions they can still establish themselves in the coat. This is especially the case when horses come into contact with dogs, cats or other animals carrying fleas. A flea infestation can cause itching and skin irritation. Horses may start rubbing, biting or showing restless behaviour as a result. In some cases, this can lead to damage to the skin or bald patches in the coat. Particularly sensitive horses may react more strongly to flea bites. A suitable spray is the PrimeVal Parasite Spray.
Ticks are commonly found in horses, especially when they graze in wooded areas, dense grassland or along shrubs and forest edges. These small parasites attach themselves to the skin to feed on blood and can cause discomfort. A tick bite does not always go unnoticed. Some horses show mild irritation, while others are more sensitive and may develop swelling or itching at the site of the bite. In addition, ticks can transmit pathogens, making it especially important to remain vigilant.
In addition to using products, it is recommended to check your horse regularly, especially in areas where ticks tend to attach, such as the mane crest, under the tail, between the legs and around the head. Removing ticks promptly helps to limit irritation; the use of a tick remover is recommended.
If your horse has suffered an insect bite and developed a hypersensitive reaction, you can care for the skin with Equi Protecta Horse Coat Spray. This spray soothes and cools irritated skin and supports the skin’s regenerative capacity.
Grand National Tea Tree Shampoo is a shampoo with a high concentration of Tea Tree oil. This has a flea- and parasite-repellent effect and also cares for the coat, mane and tail.
