OUR ANALYSIS
Gourmet Menu
 | ||||
Skode's Horse Treats Inc., was the first specialized low sugar horse treat company in the industry to place Non-Structural Carbohydrate Analysis (sugar and starch levels) on its labels.
We know first hand how important it is to know exactly what is going into our horses' bodies.
One of the goals of a balanced, healthy diet, is to help your horse's blood sugar levels to remain in equilibrium. No big peaks or valleys --as these can cause undue stress to everything from your horse's digestive system to his adrenal glands to the very circulation in his feet.
High sugar and high starch foods such as oils, grains and molasses can cause those blood sugar roller coaster rides, especially in horses with metabolic issues. These ups and downs are measured by what is known as The Glycemic Index. Skode's uses whole foods that are known to have an extremely low G.I. rating. Please visit our Glossary Page and Our Ingredients Page for more details.
The bottom line: Even "normal" horses can experience damage from the undue stresses of high carbohydrate/high sugar diets or nutritional programs with excessive fats and oils.
Why give your horse a treat that could potentially cause damage when you can give your horse a treat that compliments the nutritional program you work so hard to provide?
One of the most important actions you can take as a horseowner is to understand the food your horse is eating.
