What’s the difference between RipRip Lite Vetwrap & RipRip Heavy Vetwrap? 🐴

Both are strong, easy-tear cohesive bandages designed for reliable support and protection — but they serve slightly different purposes depending on the job.

RipRip Lite Vetwrap
✔ Lighter weight cohesive bandage
✔ Easy to tear by hand
✔ Ideal for light support, wound dressings, and holding padding in place
✔ Great for everyday bandaging where heavy compression isn’t required

RipRip Heavy Vetwrap
✔ Thicker and stronger material
✔ Provides extra compression and durability
✔ Ideal for supportive leg bandages
✔ Great for hoof poultice bandaging where you need a stronger hold
✔ Perfect for more demanding applications

Choosing the right vetwrap is essential in giving the best support and comfort for your horse. If you’re unsure which one suits your needs, feel free to contact us 💙

⚠️ Horse Health Alert – Victoria ⚠️

Agriculture Victoria has confirmed Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-4) is currently active in parts of Gippsland, with horses showing fever, respiratory signs and mouth ulcers.

While most cases are mild, it’s important to stay vigilant.
🐴 Monitor your horses for signs of illness
🐴 Avoid taking sick horses to events
🐴 Practice good biosecurity

Contact your vet if your horse shows symptoms.

Stay safe and keep an eye on your horses. 💙

We have investigated reports from properties in Gippsland, of horses displaying fever, respiratory signs, and mouth ulcers.

Initial testing has ruled out exotic diseases and shown that the common equine herpesvirus (EHV-4) is active in the region.

EHV-4 is widespread and causes respiratory disease in horses. Clinical disease is usually mild, and most horses recover with rest and supportive care.

This is a timely reminder for horse owners to review their biosecurity plans and contact their vet if they have sick horses.

Also, please check your horses are healthy and fit for travel before going to events with other horses.

💙 Why Choose to Buy From Our Small Vet Nursing Business? 💙

We know you have options.

We understand that larger horse retail stores stock many of the same products — and sometimes at prices we simply can’t match. And that’s okay. Transparency matters to us.

But here’s what makes us different.

For the past 5 years, we’ve worked incredibly hard to build this small business from the ground up. We’re not a big chain. We’re qualified vet nurses who live and breathe animal care every single day. When you purchase from us, you’re not just buying a product — you’re supporting:

✔️ Professional knowledge and real clinical experience
✔️ Personalised advice tailored to your horse
✔️ Genuine care about your animal’s wellbeing
✔️ A small Australian business that reinvests back into the local equine community
✔️ Someone who will take the time to answer your questions

Sometimes we may be a little more expensive — but what you’re also paying for is service, support, and expertise. We carefully select what we stock because we believe in it, not just because it sells.

Every order, every message, every share makes a difference to us. Your support allows us to continue providing trusted products, education, and nursing services to the horses and owners we care so much about.

Thank you for choosing small. Thank you for choosing qualified. And thank you for supporting our dream 💙

🐴 Why Worming at Every Season Change Matters 🌿🍂❄️☀️

Did you know parasite levels in horses fluctuate with the seasons? Strategic worming at each major season change helps keep your horse healthy year-round.

✅ Protects gut health — Reduces risk of colic, weight loss & diarrhoea
✅ Prevents pasture contamination — Stops the parasite cycle spreading to other horses
✅ Supports immunity — Especially important for young, senior or stressed horses
✅ Improves coat & condition — Healthy inside = healthy outside

💡 Tip: Regular faecal egg counts can help tailor a worming plan specifically for your horse.

Not sure what your horse needs? We’re happy to help guide you 💙
