WFOUND
- WHAT IS FOUNDERGUARD?
- FOUNDERGUARD is a clinically proven preventative supplement for feed induced laminitis and founder. It has been formulated to ensure delivery of the active drug to the hind gut and proven to control the build up of lactic acid in the hind gut. A small daily dose of the palatable granules allows high grain diets to be fed safely.
- RECOMMENDED FOR
-
Horses on high grain diets e.g. gallopers, pacers, eventers and show hacks
-
Horses grazing lush pastures particularly during spring and autumn when sugar levels in pasture are high
-
Young horses being prepared for sales e.g. high grain/low exercise animals
-
Horses that have suffered laminitis or founder in the past
-
Horses undergoing a change in diet
-
Horses with seedy toe, white line separation or poor-quality hooves
- WHY CHOOSE FOUNDERGUARD?
-
The ONLY proven prevention for founder - FOUNDERGUARD has been scientifically developed specifically for the prevention of grain induced founder in horses and is the only product available to prevent this problem.
-
Prevents build-up of lactic acid – When excess carbohydrates are consumed, bacteria multiply rapidly in the hindgut. FOUNDERGUARD controls the build-up of lactic acid from this fermentation process, preventing damage to the gut lining and therefore laminitis.
-
FOUNDERGUARD can be added to the daily feed as an effective daily management tool of horses at risk of founder and low-grade laminitis.
-
Scientifically formulated for performance – Helps prevent the onset of this silent ‘performance killer’ and help the performance horse reach their full potential.

2.4 Change of Mind Products cannot be returned, exchanged, or replaced simply because you have changed your mind. This does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
2.5 Your Consumer Rights Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. This policy operates alongside, and does not limit, those rights.
2.6 Faulty Goods Goods damaged in transit or due to faulty manufacture, subject to clause 13.6, should be returned to us for inspection. Please contact us first so we can arrange the return and cover the postage.

2.8 Faulty Goods Postage We will refund any reasonable postage costs incurred in returning faulty goods.
2.9 Faulty Goods Refund Subject to clause 13.6 and your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, if the goods supplied are faulty we will offer a repair, replacement, or refund as appropriate. For a major failure, you may choose between a refund and a replacement.
