Vetpro CR3 Chromium-Slim – Supporting Healthy Weight & Metabolism in Horses
Is your horse or pony carrying a little too much weight?
Being overweight can cause serious health problems in horses and ponies, including laminitis, joint stress, reduced stamina and Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS).
Some horses, particularly ponies, miniature horses and good doers, are naturally more prone to gaining weight.
Signs Your Horse May Be Overweight
A thick, cresty neck
Fat deposits around the rump and tailhead
Excess fat around the shoulders and ribs
Reduced energy or difficulty exercising
Increased risk of insulin resistance and laminitis
How Can Vetpro Chromium-Slim Help?

Chromium may help improve insulin sensitivity, supporting the body's ability to manage blood glucose.
Key Benefits:
Supports healthy insulin function

Supports metabolic health in overweight horses and ponies
Provides nutritional support alongside a weight-management programme
Suitable for horses, ponies and miniature horses
Managing Your Horse's Weight
For the best results, combine a suitable supplement with good management:
Provide a balanced, low-sugar diet
Limit access to rich pasture where necessary
Use a grazing muzzle if appropriate
Provide regular, suitable exercise
Monitor body condition and weight regularly
Ensure adequate forage and essential vitamins and minerals
Important: Weight loss should be gradual. Never starve an overweight horse or pony, as severe feed restriction can cause serious health complications.
