It's been recommended by my horse's chiropractor/physiotherapist that I put him on a devils claw supplement.

I will ask them tomorrow, but I thought I'd ask on here too - is devils claw safe to give a laminitic prone? I know some of the joint supplements contain glucosamine, so I would need to be careful, but I wondered if there were any similar concerns with devils claw?

Also, can anyone recommend a good devils claw supplement?

Thanks :)

Devils Claw is a natural anti inflammatory and in it's pure form contains no additives. Dodson and Horrell do a 1lt bottle of liquid devils claw which I use, and it's about £15 and lasts my WB over a month. Off the top of my head I cant think of any reason why you shouldnt feed it, as it hasn't any contra indicators to suggest laminitic prone horses.
