Equine skin and coat health is complicated. KineticVet’s EquiShield line of products offer horse-friendly solutions for nearly every skin or coat ailment. From fungal and bacterial skin issues, to sunburn, wounds, IBH and allergies, EquiShield covers it all!
Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is the most common allergic skin disease in horses. Whether you have an American quarter horse, a thoroughbred, or even a pony, your horse can succumb to bug bites and allergic reactions. IBH is caused by the saliva of biting insects and shows up in the skin and/or respiratory system. Hives, inflamed, reactive skin, coughing, sneezing and wheezing are all signs of an allergic reaction.
Corticosteroids are a quick fix and often prescribed for equine allergies, but aren’t the best for long-term management. Regular use of corticosteroids can have unwanted side effects such as suppressed immune system or laminitis. Why not try a more natural approach that relieves and prevents allergic reactions while supporting the immune system and overall skin health?
Successful treatment of equine allergies involves systemic and topical therapy. KineticVet’s EquiShield product line gives the horse owner both! While IBH and equine allergies can not be cured, they can be managed effectively with EquiShield.

“When I first started my horse on EquiShield SA, I could barely ride or walk him his allergies and heaves were so bad. Since then he’s worked all summer and is fit and happier than I have seen him in years. Your product has given me the opportunity to show and ride my horse again…this has been a life saver for us.” -Kandice
