I have a rescue horse with heaves. Last summer it got worse and she was struggling so much that she went on a round of Dex despite being a chunky girl. The Dex helped for a few days but wasn’t long lasting. I tried Heave Ho and didn’t see an improvement so called for a refund. They requested I speak to their vet and he was amazing. He went over her specific protocol, suggested I increase her cetirizine for a week and sent me a free tub of Heave Ho. Within another two weeks she was breathing normally, within a month her heave line had disappeared and she’s had minimal flares since. Our vet said several of his regular clients had been struggling with heaves this fall, so for her to see just a slight increase was unbelievable. I’m so thankful for this product!
My horse had a severe heaves attack the end of July. I heard about HeaveHo and decided to give it a try My horse, Sunshine, has responded very well to this product and my vet has been pleased with how quickly she recovered has not had another attack since then!
My older mare whom I've had a year now always had a cough or two at the start of a ride, or after a roll in the dusty sand. We are in Colorado where most winters are very wet and the snow keeps the dust down. However, in spring I noticed my mare's cough increase a bit. She also became itchy and gave herself a corneal ulcer from scratching. I started her on Antihist H, and it seemed to work for maybe a month. We hit summer and it didn't rain for nearly a month, and she started to get minor bloody noses. It appeared to be a dust allergy, and her vet recommended antihistamines OR Heave Ho. I decided to go straight to antihistamine pills, and that quieted her down again for another couple months. I also stopped Antihist H. Now it's September, and we still have gotten nearly no rain. The dust is the worst it's ever been in the time I've had her. A few weeks ago, her cough ramped up bad. Flared nostrils constantly- normal respiratory rate, however. I started to get very worried. I was trying everything I could- soaking her hay, cleaning her stall to the bare minimum to keep the dust down inside, increased her antihistamine dose at the vet's recommendation, and even started Cough Free. She didn't want to touch the Cough Free. I managed to convince her by the stuffing the pellets into cookies for a few days, but still saw no improvement and she hated it. I kept her inside for a week, because the dust was worse in the turnout areas (sandy arena and round pens) than in her stall. Then I remembered the vet told me about Heave Ho months ago. I found it on Amazon, the sugar free apple 30 day supply, so I could have it delivered ASAP. It came in on Friday and I started the loading dose, morning and evening scoop in a mash I made her. She was actually eating it! After the first day, I mixed it into her morning & evening grain dry. With my schedule I cannot always offer a morning and evening mash, so I mixed it into her grain since the barn gives that to her in the morning and evening. Even dry and in her grain, still she was eating it! Anyways, I started the Heave Ho on Friday. The VERY next day, Saturday, I took my other horse out for a ride and could hear her back in her stall neighing the entire time. She's never been like that, so I had a feeling it meant she wanted to break out of stall jail and was feeling good. After I brought my other horse back, I brought her to turnout despite my hesitation with how dusty it still was. The second I dropped the halter she took off- bucking, farting, full Nascar speed. She didn't stop for 20 minutes, and she never coughed a single time. I was shocked. The only thing I changed was adding the Heave Ho. Sunday and Monday (yesterday) she was also great, back to being herself, and she's quiet as a church mouse today. I usually try not to get my hopes up for supplements, and based on the label I figured I was looking at 14 days or a week at best to see some effects. Nope, the very next day it hit her! She is almost done with the loading dose, and I will be keeping her on Heave Ho forever now. I'm hoping one day I can stop her antihistamine pills, maybe over winter, or we will see how this continues to play out. Thanks Heave Ho!
(PS, in my opinion, Heave Ho is a GREAT bang for your buck. The other two supplements I tried a) she hated the taste of and b) didn't work. They were $30. You get what you pay for! Antihistamine pills are costing us nearly $150 a month as well)
Amazing improvement on Heave Ho after even a week when my mare developed some slight breathing allergy issue this summer. In 7 days, her breathing issue was gone. Dr. Reilly, I totally appreciate your products!
After 2 weeks on Heave Ho there is definite improvement & she is acting more like herself. Can’t wait to see how she is after a month!
