WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

Rosemary E

“I have been using Osmonds Gut-Rite for over 20 years now and have found it most beneficial for stabilising the digestive system and gut of my goats. Particulary effective when they are under stress during travelling, showing, kidding, are on any antibotic therapy, or have insufficent appetite. A must have essential in my storage chest!”

Lou H

“Milly my Irish mare looking fab after using your Lamitox which I added to her feed, which I won in your competition. Would definitely recommend to anyone, she has a lovely healthy coat on very little calories.”

Colin W

“This order arrived mid morning, that’s fantastic service, ordered and delivered to the north east in under 24 hours. Usually purchase from the shows you attend as not really used to online shopping but this means I will buy online from Osmonds with full confidence in future. Thanks to the staff involved and the courier too.”

Kit H

“We started using Osmonds Products 4 years ago and found a significant improvement in weight and condition when using Muscle Master. Also using Zinc, Copper, Cobalt, Selenium and B12 which helped on stress on the cattle on showing and we’re more than with the results of the shampoo.”

Tomos R

“As recommended I used Osmonds Oviboost after purchasing a flock of Welsh Hill Speckled Face Lambs in May 2015. I could see the difference in the sheep within a few weeks. I showed 2 Shearling Ewes at the Royal Welsh Show the following July and the sheep looked outstanding. I went on to win Female Champion and then overall Champion Welsh Hill Speckled face. I have no hesitation in both recommending and using Osmonds Oviboost in the future.”

Margaret S

“I have used Osmonds Farriers Friend for a number of years finding it to be an effective product in promoting health hoof growth and maintaining hooves in good condition during extreme conditions of wet and hot weather. With both of my horses who currently have this product as part of their daily feeding regime I saw an improvement in hoof quality within the first few weeks of introducing the supplement. I use this product for both of my horses and as well as keeping their feet in good condition year round it is a good overall supplement as it contains a number of palatable vitamins, minerals and herbs which helps them maintain a shiny coat and good overall health.”

“Most impressed with Digestor – one Rotweiller hasn’t been sick for months since starting with it”

Mrs Anne T

“Since having Digestor added to his food, Oliver has not had one episode of sickness or diarrhoea”

Brenda B on behalf of her daughter Sam

“Joey has been having the Digestor now & it seems to be working, he is nowhere as loose and unpredictable as he was. Sam bought him some months ago from someone who couldn't be bothered to care for him, he was very underweight and she worked hard on his diet. He has just turned 1 and it has taken all this time to settle his tum, although he has always been a happy chappy. Since using the Digestor he is putting on a bit of weight & Sam intends to continue with it, so thank you very much.”

Lisa H

“I asked at the Royal Cornwall show if you did a product that would help our Jacob Tup relax and retain condition at shows and you suggested Osmonds No-Stress. I have just left you a 5 star review, No-stress is an absolutely amazing product. Not only has it made a big difference to our Jacob Tup at shows helping him relax and keep condition on but I’ve just given it to our Sprocker dog 10 minutes before we clipped him and he was a lot more relaxed and quiet! Fab product thank you so much!”

Kirsty A

“Osmonds butex with turmeric has to be the most effective joint supplement I have tried. All my horses and ponies are fed this supplement, which is palatable to even the fussiest of eaters. Having a wide selection of horses and ponies in training from Grand Prix show jumpers to ridden Clydesdales, mountain and moorlands to sports horses of all ages, I use this product not only to aid joint mobility but also as a preventative measure. I have seen speedy results in older stiffer horses and find that I can adjust quantities without upset. A very cost effective product to have in the feed room.
