      • “Numo” is highly recommended in my area. I gave it a try one day when my horse developed wind puffs on his hind legs. After 2 applications of Numotizine, the swelling had drastically decreased!!! I was so impressed. Although wind puffs never truly go away in most cases, my horse was back to his normal self after those applications and that is why I will always have Numotizine in my barn!

        – K. Daniel, Numotizine Poultice

      • My favorite product for any skin irritations. We use it on our dogs’ allergies under his paws. He sweats at night and gets a heat sweat and breaks out. We apply it with a wooden stick in the creases under his paws. It heals quickly. I also use it on myself if I have a skin infection. My aunt, who is an RN, has a PHD, she says it’s the greatest skin salve for any infection, animals or humans. Great results for healing with this product. Great price also.

        – Kimmie, Numotizine Poultice

      • This is the only item that really works to reduce swelling. Put this on the entire leg, then use painter’s paper to wrap the leg, then Saran Wrap over that, and then use a large bandage wrap. Keep it on for 24 hours and rinse the leg well, it really is the best!

        – Michelle, Numotizine Poultice

      • This product works very well for my needs. My horse has arthritis in her hocks and loves having Numotizine applied and wrapped. The warmth it creates is very soothing and helps relieve the pain. Works much better then other products I have tried.

        – Suzette, Numotizine Poultice

      • It’s not always easy to find the right product for the job. We are so grateful to know we can count on finding what we need and appreciate how quickly it’s delivered. Numotizine may be an oldie but gosh it’s a goodie! So grateful it’s still being made. Hope it continues!!!

        – Breana, Numotizine Poultice

      • I have a horse that needed to have 2 screws put into his ankle a few months ago. I used Numotizine for the first week, then switched to another poultice. Not only did the ankle swell up to almost double the size that it had been, but it was also much more painful. I went back to Numotizine and within 2 days it was back to a good size. I don’t know why Numotizine works so much better, but I can honestly tell you there is a difference. Not all poultice is made the same.

      I’ve been using Numotizine Poultice for over 35 years, and my father was a big fan long before that. I grew up working with this poultice alongside him, and it’s been a staple in my barn ever since. As a trainer, I’ve tried many products, but Numotizine is hands down the best poultice on the market. I wouldn’t trust my horses’ legs to anything else!

      "I’ve been using Numotizine medicated poultice for over eight years, and it’s become an essential part of my horse care routine. It has consistently helped heal tendon and ligament injuries, often bringing horses back stronger and performing better than before the injury. I rely on it not only for recovery but also as a preventative measure, keeping my horses’ legs tight and reducing inflammation after intense workouts or competitions. This product is a key component in maintaining my horses’ peak condition."

      “I’ve been competing in rodeos and after a tough run, the first thing I reach for is Numotizine Poultice. Whether we’re traveling all weekend or pushing hard in the arena, I count on Numotizine to keep my horse’s legs feeling good. You can see the difference the next day—less swelling, less stiffness, and faster recovery overall. It smells strong, but that’s how you know it’s doing its job! I’m so grateful to have a product I can trust that’s been around for generations. I always keep a tub in the trailer and another one in the barn.”
