What People Are Saying
Barn Spray | Bare Skin Barrier | Groomer for Dogs| Groomer | Insect Repellent
BARN SPRAY Terri - Pooch & Poodle Rescue "3 photos arrive top of head with scabs. Second photoa a few hours later after Nature's Balance Groomer on her/much improved. Third photo LESS THAN 24 HOURS.........scabs are nearly gone and the inflamed pink and raw skin no longer flaking and the pinkness has begun to subside. Denise Merck of Vernon, NJ has horses and uses the Bare Skin Barrier and Groomer; she writes “I just love your products... I am going to try them on my dog too. Denise writes again “I did try the Groomer on my dog... it really worked well. She has a partially paralyzed tongue and the white portion of her neck under her chin and her feet get that red-stained color and she cannot lick herself clean. I just used a damp cloth with a tablespoon of Groomer in it and rubber her down with it. I see a big improvement already tonight”.
Vaughn Brown, WA - I used your groomer on Sprocket’s hindquarter where the skin problem was taking place. Three days after using the groomer the bumps went away. I used it for a few more days after to be sure that the skin was cleaned and healed. Sprocket is now a happier dog and I do not worry when I brush him. I still have a lot of the groomer left and will store it safely for future use. Thank you for the hard work and research! Safe rides, Vaughn Brown, Certified Equine Massage Therapist. www.VaughnBrown.com. Beautiful Quincy before the chemical burn
Quincy’s Neck & Flank - Ouch!
Congratulations! Quincy and the girls won 5 of 13 classes at the 2004 Halloween Party & Fun Show Sweet Itch Factor Does your horse have a skin problem?
Crystal, VA - Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your products. Everything works beautifully!!! I've been putting the bare skin barrier under Jake's hind legs and belly where all the ticks were biting. I haven't seen any more lately so that's great! Also, it has really seemed to help the bites he already had there. He just stands perfectly still and lets me rub it on...(I think he likes it:) Also, I've been putting some fly spray on my hand and rubbing it under the hollow part of their jaw... it has helped tremendously. That area normally stays eaten up with bites all summer... but putting the spray there has really made a difference! Lucky, the thoroughbred I take care of, has really sensitive skin and sometimes has a reaction to regular fly spray. Your products have been working great with him. Everybody also got a bath this weekend and a rub down with the groomer. Everything is just so great... Thanks so much... I'll be ordering refills soon. Benny the Rescued Horse

Judi Roach from Texas writes: “Just a note to say I’ve been using your Barn Spray I ordered and love it! You have really done a good job in your research and development. I don’t understand why anyone would use anything different. I’m spreading the word. Thanks, Judi.”
Kathy, FL - Why would anyone use chemicals? I am so happy to have found your Barn Spray. My horses thank you. No more toxic air, food and water!!!
Heidi, TN - I used to hide in my tack room when my auto sprayer would go off. The company that installed my system kept selling me the Pyrethrum stuff telling me it was "natural". So why did it close up my throat and make me feel sick? I found out that Pyrethrum is "natural" because it comes from Chrysanthemums, but that doesn't mean it's safe. Like you said "arsenic is natural too". Thank you for such a great product. I no longer hide in my tack room; I actually stand under the misters and enjoy the uplifting scent knowing your products do not kill or poison. The flies simply go away. Yeah.

Thank you so much for your Bare Skin Barrier. My gelding was suffering each summer with a swollen sheath and belly midline from "no-see-ums" bites >>more

I wanted to tell you that I used the Natures Balance stuff on Timber’s bug bite scabs under his front legs and his hind legs and it cleared them up in one treatment. I’m impressed! Sue Sweet, Drain, Oregon
The Bare Skin Barrier is the BEST. My horse used to itch herself raw on her chest, mane and tail, but the Bare Skin Barrier put a stop to that. Thank you. Jan, CA
GROOMER FOR DOGS
Pamela Hill - I love the Groomer for Dogs product so much; we have been to the vet for a dog licking his back feet until they bleed. Months later with no help, we came across your product at a Basset Hound Festival in
Kelly at Healthy Pets, Michigan - I have an employee who’s Labrador had the most stubborn nastiest skin problem that no matter how much money spent at the vet he just wasn’t getting any better. My employee used the Organic Hot Spot KIT and within a week the skin problem was going away and by the end of a month is was gone!! It was a miracle!!! I’m convinced Natures Balance Care products work so we now carry your products in our store. Thank you so much.
Chris M. AZ - What a MIRACLE!! My dog had the worst hot spot condition my vet had ever seen. But all the visits and medications from my vet weren't working. I was desperate. I found your product and thought "I have nothing to lose". Within the first week the smelly gooey skin was healing and a little wisp of hair was growing back. By the end of a month the hot spot was GONE. Wow, thank you. My dog is doing great and he no longer has fleas. You are awesome.
GROOMER CONCENTRATE
Ellen B. Pinckney, MI - By the way, I think your products are outstanding! I have a mare who gets extreme summer allergies. She gets so itchy she rubs until she has open sores. I have her on a low dosage of dexamethasone to keep her from rubbing herself to pieces, but even with the steroids, she still rubs enough to tangle her tail and rub off the hair on her shoulders and neck until I started using the Groomer. I rub Groomer on her itchy spots, inside her legs and on her belly. Now even on exceptionally hot and humid days, she is not fanatically rubbing. Her hair is growing back and she is no longer destroying her tail. She is calm and obviously more comfortable than she has ever been during the summer. Thank you
Quincy is a Nature's Balance Boy!
Quincy is a beautiful 17 year old QH gelding who experienced a terrible burn due to a chemical fly spray. His neck and flank area were burned and peeling with his skin wrinkling. Who would have known that he was so sensitive? His owner, Suzy of Northbrook, Illinois, immediately started treating his burns with Natures Balance Care Groomer and Bare Skin Barrier to keep flies from taking advantage.
Seven Days Later - Suzy says Quincy is a “Nature's Balance Boy”
If so, your horse is probably having a Sweet Itch outbreak. The medical term for Sweet Itch is “hypersensitivity to insect bites” basically an allergic reaction to the cullicoide midge fly. Many horses suffer this extreme skin allergy when the midge bites. Your horse can get immediate relief with Nature's Balance Care Groomer. The picture below was taken 6 days after the first initial outbreak. The horse was treated with the Groomer once in the morning. You can find these products under Horse & Livestock Care Products.
Sweet Itch needs to be treated internally as well since it is an immune response. I had a horse in training last year that had the worst case of Sweet Itch than the poor guy shown above. He boarded with us for a year after his training receiving Dynamite Plus vitamins & minerals along with NTM salt. The boarder horse was the “next door” paddock neighbor of the horse above, but the boarder did not have any outbreaks this year. The horse above had only been here a month receiving Dynamite vitamins and supplements; not enough time on Dynamite products to build his immune system. Even two of my horses that are prone to minor Sweet Itch outbreaks (sometimes their faces peeled around their eyes and down the side in addition to their chests & bellies - awful looking) did not have any outbreaks this year. I have to contribute it to the supported immune system by the Dynamite products. My horses have been on Dynamite a year and a half and that is the only thing I have changed with respect to diet. We even have more flies since we added the training arena and increased the number of horses from 4 to 10, but my horses and the boarder were exempt from allergic reactions this year! If your horse has a skin problem and you are not sure what product to use, call 866-821-0374 or email Info@NaturesBalanceCare.com.
Karen Smith, Two Pnyz Ranch, NM - I've been using NBC Products for over five years now. What I find interesting is that when we lived in Illinois, the horses had to deal with an entirely different set of weather conditions and insects. In Illinois, mosquitos and deer ticks were a big problem. Now that we are in New Mexico, flies and no-see-ums are the big problems. No matter to us. By wiping the horses down with groomer several times a week and applying the Bare Skin Barrier to their chests, bellies, and ears I have yet to see any swelling from bites and the flies look for cattle to bother rather than the horses. Thank you Missy for your continued excellence of some great, healthy products.
Martha Radke, CA - Great Stuff, very effective, a pleasure to use!!
Cindy, Fairview, OR - I really am enjoying your horse grooming products and natural fly repellent and so are my horses! You have a great horse product that repels all the biting flies and mosquitoes, plus I did not have any bot eggs this year. I tell everyone about it. Keep up the good work.
Susan Sheridan, Bay State Equine Rescue, MA - Hello, I wanted to again thank you for donating some of the Natures Balance products for our rescue horses. Two horses in particular, Hayley & Magic, benefited wonderfully from them. They both had rain rot and now have shiny healthy coats. I know you are a small company and I just love what you are doing with the natural ingredients. Magic is in need of surgery. Would you consider donating more products for an auction we are having to raise money for him? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Susan Sheridan, Bay State Equine Rescue Inc.. 415 Hunt Rd, Oakham, MA 01068 508-882-3704. Yes - Nature's Balance will donate horse products for Magic's needed surgery. If anyone would like to help, please contact Susan at the above number.
Benny came to my barn as his third home after being rescued by the Humane Society. He had spent the last 2 years in a stall and and had fecal matter stuck to him past his belly and shoulders. By the time I got him his skin had healed from the circumstances, but he was still under weight with an eye infection and ears a mess. He received an antibiotic for his eyes and I used Groomer twice a day on his ears and Skin Condition Formula at night. By the end of a week his ears had cleaned up nice, no more gooey sticky matter and the antibiotics worked for his eye condition. 
He soon got bit by my gelding through the fence leaving chunks of flesh gone from his neck and rump. We quickly hot wired the drinking area since this was the offending place and used Groomer to wash the wounds. I administered Bare Skin Barrier to promote healing and reduce "white hair growth". Benny is doing great and gradually building his weight back. His eyes sparkle and he smells sweet! Picture on left is November 2004 and picture on right is 6 months later May 2005. He is healing and restoring beautifully.
Laurie Flood, CA - We have been successfully using your products for our horses for about 6 months. It works great against the flies and biting gnats. Thanks for your time and excellent products.
Cindy Ross, CA - This HAS been a hostile Fly/gnat/midge season (summer 2004). I'm so glad I bought more of your products because they are helping my mare SO much. She doesn't get the bumps from midges, so I've always suspected some kind of fungus that gets somehow "activated" when she sweats. Her worst itchy areas are between her front and hind legs, down the insides of her legs and her face/ears, mane and tail. I finally started using the Groomer in a bucket and using a sponge to wipe her down. I use about 4 droppers full for about 24 ounces of water. I did this once a day for about 4 or 5 days because her WHOLE body was itchy and I thought she would push the barn down!! Now I do it every 3 days or so, and her rubbing has completely stopped. I always make sure I get it down to the tail bone and into the base of her mane, thought I don't have to be as diligent about this anymore. I like the Fly Spray especially because I know it is safe to use around their feed and feed bins. I just wanted to thank you for your diligence in doing research and creating a great product!
Gretchen, ID - I've been using your products for about 10 days now, and we are hooked! What an improvement over the chemicals. I'll be reordering by the end of the month. Thank you for creating a healthy alternative for me and my horses.
Emma Karel a Herds Manager says "it works well and it smells nice". Molly Loaiza a Vet Med Tech comments, "It works as well as Repel X (the product we usually use), it smells good and I use it on my own horses".
Christine O, Portland, OR - I so love your Insect Repellent. My whole family uses it. I feel that my children are safe. No chemicals ever again. Thank you so much.
Margie K, Bend, OR. - Thank you for your Organic Insect Repellent. I sent it to camp with my son in the Sister's mountains where there are lots of mosquitoes and he told me his entire cabin was using it. The kids didn't want to use the OFF their parents had sent them.
Marlene, WI - that Resmethrin is dangerous. It is being peddled as a safe alternative to DEET which is nonsense. Your Insect Repellent is GREAT! Thank you for caring.
Rich, MD - Please get your products in REI and the big stores. I have so many friends that won't purchase online so I have to keep ordering for them lol. I really don't mind, but everyone should have the opportunity and access to your safe products. My family thanks you for making it. Keep up the good work.
