The smart choice 03 / 05

Five things that we believe

  1. 01

    Researched continually.

    Because we are a relatively small company, we are agile and quick to respond to changes. If there is new research we will be reading it, and if we think it is worth it, updating our product. We really do want to be the best.

  2. 02

    Unique formulations.

    We're always surprised how little thought seems to go into a lot of natural products. When there is proper, valid scientific research showing a natural ingredient has a profound positive effect on a condition, few supplement companies utilise it. We do.

  3. 03

    A different approach to ingredients.

    In nature, a single molecule is unlikely to solve what is nearly always a complex problem. We prefer to use moderate amounts of many different ingredients, each working in their different way, towards the same goal.

  4. 04

    Effective.

    A lot of thought has gone into our products. We are confident they will help your animal's health. So confident that, if you feel it hasn't helped your pet or horse, we will pay you back what you paid for it.

  5. 05

    Safe.

    A natural substance must be more than just effective to be included in our formulations. It must be safe to the animal as well. We use only reputable suppliers, and our products undergo rigorous testing to meet all of the requirements of our regulatory bodies.

What customers have told us

"The Mare Mix has helped with both my easily distracted OTTB mare and helped my rescue mare settle better in my care. The Calm Mix has been a huge help overall with my OTTBs. I don't leave my yard without ensuring that both Calm and Immune mix are packed in the feed for shows."

"My 9 Yr old Golden Retriever has been suffering terribly with arthritis and hip dysplasia. One week on the joint formula and she’s got a spring in her step she hasn’t had for years, and her legs don’t shake anymore when she’s standing still. Can’t wait to see her after a month on the joint formula."
A pet owner Joint Formula
"After struggling with skin allergies with our large dog for almost a year, the next step after another round of cortisone was going to be a very expensive chronic medication. We found your Allergy Formula. So far so good. I'm excited for this product to be our solution long term."
A pet owner Allergy Formula
Our story 05 / 05

I saw a gaping hole in the market for carefully thought-out, well-researched, safe, natural products.

I was 35 years old, working at a pharmaceutical company, when the Universe told me three things. My complete nutcase of a horse (aptly named Brat) was not being helped by any of the calming supplements on the market, and I realised I had the knowledge to invent an effective one. My then two-year-old daughter needed more time with her mom. And the products on the market for animals at the time were either pharmaceutical drugs or seemingly arbitrary mixes of herbs with hundreds of unsubstantiated medical claims.

That is how The Herbal Horse was born. A few years later we extended the range to dogs and cats and named it The Herbal Pet. We export to the Middle East, Europe, and the United Kingdom. In 2016 we won a competition called Boost your Biz; the prize was space on Pick n Pay's shelves, which became the launchpad for our Nutriphase Herbals range.
