Devil's Claw Root powder can be assimilated more effectively into the blood system via the buccal membranes whereas the dried slices are ingested and subjected to digestive enzymes. Allow your horse to choose which method of taking it prefers - as then they can take in the most appropriate form for their condition.
Seek Veterinary advice if wishing to administer Phenylbutazone within 24hrs of a horse selecting Devil's Claw.
