Sanoanimal: Knowledge for Healthy Horses
More and more horses struggle with metabolic problems such as summer eczema, EMS, laminitis, or copper deficiency. Conventional medicine and the feed industry often reach their limits here – quick solutions are lacking.
We take a different approach: Sanoanimal stands for sustainable, holistic concepts around nutrition and therapy. With years of experience and naturopathic knowledge, we rely on species-appropriate housing, balanced nutrition, and the power of nature.
Our goal: To support your horse in a sustainable and healthy way – and provide you with the knowledge that truly helps.
Our Partner for Health & Nutrition
For the nutrition of our therapeutic concepts, we rely on close collaboration with OKAPI – one of the leading manufacturers of healthy, natural, and sustainable horse feed.
Together we develop and optimize products that make sense from a therapeutic perspective: with a focus on sustainable health, balanced nutrients, and nutrition according to the principle "as much as necessary, as little as possible". This creates feed that truly supports horses.
Here you can access the OKAPI Horse Feed Shop directly. If you would like to test first whether your horse accepts OKAPI products well, you can request free samples directly from the OKAPI team at info@okapi-shop.com.
