Hotspot on a Dog Named Lucas"This (photo below right) is after the 5th application of Fiske's Skin and Wound Salve. I am truly amazed at how quick it is working! Lucas has had the hot spot (Pyotraumatic Dermatitis) for over 2 weeks and after trying several home remedies and vet medication, your Fiske's Horse to Hound is the only thing that worked the best! The other things I tried made him itch and it stung when applying them. Fiske's Horse and Hound Salve actuallyNatural Healing for Hot Spot on a Dog soothed the area and he stopped scratching the hotspot! Now it has actually started healing! 7th day: Its getting better by the day. There are still bumps there but no puss or redness. His fur is also growing back. As you can tell I'm now a BIG Fiske's Horse to Hound Salve fan! I'm really impressed with this product." Lisa Boucher, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada A Severe Skin Wound on a Molly"This is how I found my 3 year old molly (mule) on March 11. The hide was all bunched up on the left side, the exposed flesh is black and badly frost burned. The gash is 6" wide and 4" deep. All the dead flesh and hide had to be cut away, and because of that there was nothing that could be stitched together. Two weeks later it is granulating nicely and the vet is very pleased with how she is coming along. I have just read the testimonial of the horse in Nanton, Alberta, but there there was something to stick together. My vet had not heard of your product but I am willing to give it a go on her (I use it for the arthritis in my hands). After a long and grueling 46 days the vet was so impressed with her progress, Fast Healing WoundJoy got her freedom and was turned out to romp, buck and roll on the dirt all of which she did in a matter of seconds. The vet said she has never seen an animal with such a wound come back so fast. Joy is still getting a painting of Fiske's every other day now and I am so very pleased on how well this mess is healing over. Now is the long wait for the hide to heal over and the hair to come back and the way she is going it will not take long." Cheree Cobo, Strathmore, Alberta  A Desperately Bad Leg Wound

An Amazing Healing Story
Dona & Romping Rita"My little wire haired dachshund, Romping Rita, developed some annoying non specific dermatitis. A number of the vet products would not clear it up for any length of time. After having been so impressed with Fiske's Hoof & Hide Balm for my mare, I decided to try the Horse to Hound cream. Within 10 days the dermatitis was gone never to return. I have total confidence in all the Fiske's products and highly recommend them to anyone needing an all natural product that really works!!"
Dona Grosser - R.V.T., Aurora, Ontario, Canada
 
Lindsay & Lily"My lovely young mare had been battling thrush in her one foot for over a year! I tried every thrush product around without any lasting success. My friend recommended I try Fiske's Hoof & Hide Balm. I painted it on her sole and frog every day for two weeks. Sure enough the thrush was gone and my blacksmith commented what good condition her hooves were in! I told the blacksmith what I was using and he even asked for a jar of Fiske's to try on some of his other client's horses!"

Yankee Doodle

"I used the Fiske's on Yankee's leg. A big German Shepherd took him down and injured his back leg. He was biting and licking it to death. I applied Fiske's to it several times a day, he stopped licking it and within a few days voila!  All cleared up, amazing, amazing stuff!"
Janet B., Port Perry, Ontario, Canada

Fiske's Soothing Sore Feet and Legs
"I do not have serviceable feet or legs and after an entire summer of construction, they were sore and aching at the end of each day. I painted Fiske's on from my knees to the tips of my toes, elevated my legs and let it do its job: soothe away all my aches and pains. Fabulous stuff and I love the smell too!"
Christine B., Port Perry, Ontario Canada
Mini Mare Sugar

"I use Fiske's Hoof Care Balm on my mare Sugar and it seems to make her hooves grow plus they are a lot more easy to trim. I also use it for myself on my hands as they get so dry at this time of year; my husband John is using it on a patch of dry itchy skin he has on his leg;  we're going to see how that works over time. I even keep a bottle in my first aid kit for the minis!" 
Diane Lowe, Falmouth Mini's

“Fiske's is the only thing that worked on the scrape on Rocky's hock".

Bruce Koch's Horse Seriously Injured in Trailer Accident"What do I think of Fiske's? It saved the life of my horse and that is a miracle. After using Fiske’s for three days, I knew that my horse was going to live. My name is Bruce Koch, this is the story of my experience with Fiske’s Hide and Hoof Balm. I had a tragic incident with my horses in early July. I was going down the highway at 110km/hr when the gate hinge broke on my trailer and my two horses fell out. One passed from the injuries and the other was badly injured on the rear flank, 14” x 8” area as well as a severe hemorrhage on the back end that required numerous stitches.

Initial Damage on Bruce's HorseThe veterinarians treated the horse and sent me home with medication and good luck. The hide continued to dry up and fall off; I peeled down to fresh hide hoping the healing process would start. The product I was using was working slow but seemed to be drying up the area and it looked painful.
Healing with Fiske's

Then Tracey suggested I try Fiske’s; her better half owns Eamor’s Saddlery and just started carrying Fiske’s and provided a sample bottle to see if this last ditch effort would work. Well it worked extremely well. I have gone through the sample bottle, a 1 litre container and am now on the 2.5 litre pail. The area is now the size of my fist and the hair is growing back. Just a Few Weeks Later
I figured that when he was running out to the pasture bucking and kicking that he was ready to ride. Three weeks ago I attended a branding, they were short ropers, I was hesitant to use him, but roped the first calf and drug him to the pot with not even a flinch from him when the rope touched his flank. I also used it on another horse with a fungus patch on the neck and the patch is just about gone.  
So what do I think of Fiske’s? It keeps things moist, it’s easy to apply and keeps the healing process working and improvement can be seen on an ongoing basis. It saved my horse and that is all that matters. I also use it myself, I suffer from dry cracked hands and this makes them better."
Bruce Koch, Calf Roper, Nanton, Alberta

What Farriers and Trainers Say about Fiske's Hoof and Hide Balm

“It puts life in the hoof in a way that I have not been able to get from any other product. I have used this product for 50 years and my father before me. I love what it does for a horse.”
Scott Daniels, Standardbred Canada Area Director, Owner, Trainer, Breeder, Driver, Farrier

“It’s a miracle. I have done an acid test with this product and it out-performed another product of its kind by doubling the hoof growth. It healed a girth boil over night and chronic rain rot in a couple of days.”
Rick Corkum, Farrier

“There is everything good about this product. Price, quality, results. I thank Fiske's and my horses thank Fiske’s.”
Leslie Guy, Equestrian Trainer, Conifer Ridge Farm

“As a farrier I believe you will find its pricing/shelf life far exceeds other products on the market today. Used properly by the instructions, Fiske's Hoof and Hide Balm is one of the greatest products you could keep in your farrier box and/or tack room.”
David Hayne, AFA Certified Farrier

“It healed scratches in two days that would take weeks with other products that I have used.” 
Jane Abbott, Equestrian Trainer, Judge, Horse Owner

"It’s a great product; it works to put the correct moisture balance in the hoof." 
Leon Hebb, Farrier, Nova Scotia Canada

“We wouldn't use anything else but Fiske’s”.
Craig Gange, Driver, Trainer, Farrier of the world famous Cape Cod Siding Six Horse Hitch
More Testimonials about Fiske's Hoof & Hide Balm and Horse to Hound Skin & Wound Salve
"The horse flies here are terrible in the summer, and particularly pester my mares despite daily applications of spray and our best efforts, making their chests one big bumpy, itch, flaky, hairless mass of bug bites and small wounds. As I was using your wonderful Fiske's product on hooves, bare patches and small wounds, I painted the bug bites on the mares' chests, around their ears and under their jaws with Fiske's. What a transformation. They seemed to fell relief immediately after I applied the product. The itching, flakiness and discomfort were gone immediately and the flies have stopped biting in those areas, allowing the hair to re-grow. My mares are so much more comfortable too. What a wonderful product! Is there any end to what it can do for horses, hounds and humans? I won't be without it."
Pamela Allen-LeBlanc, Agr., MBA, Natural Horsemanship Instruction, Durham Bridge, New Brunswick, Canada
"The vet was here today to look at a colt that has edema on his belly - big time - swollen from between his front legs and back to and including the sheath. While he doesn't really know what is wrong with this horse he suggestd that he should have a higher protein in his food, and to put Fiske's on his belly because it may help to take the swelling away! He said that he didn't really know why it worked the way that it does, but that it was made out of natural products, and seems to be beneficial in many different ways, so try it in this situation. The vet Siegmar Doelle - works out of Sissiboo Veterinary Clinic. There was a farrier in the yard today too, and I was telling him about how David Hayne had used Fiske's. He also thought it was a pretty awesome product."
Delle Fairchild, Nova Scotia, Canada  www.mandelarabians.com
Fiske's 1L Hoof & Hide Balm
“I like the product because it won’t create a test positive."
Barbara Loewe, Manager of The Tack Shop at Spruce Meadows, Alberta, Canada


"This stuff is great for scratches - the best I have found yet."  
D. Gamble, Nova Scotia, Canada

"I will NEVER be without your product in my stable ever since I purchased a QH filly from Manitoba that had a quarter crack in her front hoof.  I applied Fiske's Hoof Balm starting in October and by Christmas the hoof had grown out and you would never know there had been a crack!  I also use it on any scrapes, cuts, warts and itchy spots.
Kenda Grant, River John, Nova Scotia, Canada

"Excellent product,  I have been using it daily and sometimes twice a day…his hooves look better already."  
Tammy
, New Brunswick, Canada
"I believe that if you keep life simple and uncomplicated nature will be reasonable to you but sometimes she throws you a curve ball.  My curve ball came this summer in the form of rain rot and mud fever. What a mess!  I looked for a product that could help both ailments and tried Fiske's Hoof and Hide Balm. It was incredible! Not only did it help heal the skin in a couple of days but it didn't hurt the horse when I applied it!  Now I use it on any dry spot or itchy tail. And an added bonus: the flies hate it!! My horses thank Fiske's and so do I. It's good to know of a natural product that works and has many uses."
Leslie Guy, Conifer Ridge Farm

"Princess is doing very well with her training and we have successfully been using your hoof balm on her with great results. She had damaged her hoof in shipping and a big chunk broke off at the bottom and subsequently a crack developed. The hoof is now growing out very quickly and the crack has not developed any further. She doesn't mind Bob putting the balm on her hoof, but did react to another product we used due, we think, to the smell of the product. Whenever either horses nicks or scrapes themselves, I apply the balm and in no time they heal. We are very happy with the product and, of course, have told lots of fellow horsemen!" Nadine G. Taylor, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
"I would highly recommend Fiske's for a horse that has a dandruff condition. I look forward to using Fiske's in the future on horses that have skin conditions...we need Fiske's for the special care of our horses." Delle Fairchild, Nova Scotia, Canada www.mandelarabians.com
"I spoke to you ... about a horse with a deep crack in the heel that would start to heal up then break open again. After purchasing your product I encouraged the horse's owner to use it, since nothing else had worked. The farrier was out last week and the crack is completely healed! I have also used it on a few "paddock wounds" and I can't believe how quickly they not only heal, but the hair grows over. What an excellent product!! Thanks."
Cathy, Ajax, Ontario, Canada

By the way I sold a pot (of Fiske's) to a lady on Vancouver Island 3 weeks ago and met her again yesterday. Her horse had terrible sweat itch and I asked her to try it. When I saw her yesterday she was absolutely amazed after seven years of many creams and ointments she said that this actually works for him. There has
been over a 70% improvement in just 3 weeks. How Fantastic!!!"

My Comment About Fiske's
"I spoke with a friend today, a gelding at her facility has mud scald and she has been using Fiske's for the last couple weeks and she is very happy as there is only 1 small scab left!!!!!  This gelding had a terrible time of it last year with mud scald. He was on so many antibiotics etc...that he got sick from the all the medicine! He was lame from the mud scald and had to have biopsies done. Now...we have Fiske's and he's doing awesome! Thanks again."

"While attemptng to glue the stone back in my ring, having begun without my glasses handy. I managed to glue the ring and stone together to the first finger of one hand, and that group to the first two fingers and thumb of my other hand. Yes, much like the 'praying hands' but with different vocals. After having no luck with simple force, or any with Windex, Fantastic, dishsoap, I tried the Fiske's salve. Presto! After a few minutes I was able to pull the fingers apart with only minor loss of skin. Fiske's - for those senior moments."
Cheryl, Ontario, Canada
"I currently own a horse named Scout. Scout is a 7 year old Paint. During the summer Scout got a deep cut about 7 1/2 inches long, on her white patch on her side, possibly from a protruding nail. I enjoy doing halter and showmanship and was very concerned. Upon going to the show on July 29, the judge made a comment to me on how noticeable the wound was. Then I heard of Fiske's. You apply Fiske's right to the cut everyday like a paint brush and wait. Fiske's is a product to help reduce the appearance of scars. That’s exactly what it did. Actually, it not only reduced the appearance of her scar, but healed it and made it totally disappear. By our next show on September 9th, Scout's wound was totally gone. I received comments on her scar and how it was not noticeable anymore and was asked what I used. Now I am not afraid to be confident about my horse's appearance in the show ring. Fiske's works miracles. I would strongly recommend this product to anyone."  Jessica Robbins
