Aloe vera juice - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Last Sunday on 60 minutes I saw an interview with the trainer of one of the greatest race horses ever, Zenyatta. They asked him if there were any secret things that he fed her, besides giving her a bottle of beer a day he said that he fed her aloe vera juice everyday for her digestion. I was wondering if anyone has tried this on their dogs or ever heard of it used on dogs. I have read that is very good for humans and their digestion problems.

Never heard of using aloe vera juice, so can't tell you. I'd check with your vet first. But I do know that Horses are the complete opposite from dogs when it comes to digestion and diet, so idk if it would have the same positive results even if it is safe (which I'm not 100% sure). Maybe someone else will know.

Wait, he FED his horse beer?? I used to BATHE my horse with beer before a show to make his coat shiney, but I would never FEED it to them. Why would someone give an animal alchohol? LOL great race horse or not, I wouldn't trust a darn word that guy said LOL.
