Top 10 Equine Health and First Aid Products in Canada for 2025

Harrison Howard's Complete kit is aimed at livery yards and professional carers who need an exhaustive inventory of supplies, offering clinic-grade items and a wider range of spare parts for ongoing stable management. Although typically pricier than compact trail kits, its comprehensiveness and curated contents deliver strong long‑term value for larger operations that require a single, all‑in‑one solution.

3M Vetrap is a veterinary-grade cohesive bandage that earns its place as a market leader for equine use due to proven durability, predictable stretch and strong cohesive adhesion that secures dressings on active horses without glue or clips. Compared with consumer cohesive options on this list, Vetrap provides veterinary clinics a higher-spec, clinical reliability (and typically a higher price point) which reduces re-wrap frequency and total supply costs over time on challenging limb applications.

Bickmore Gall Salve is a long-standing, economical topical barrier ointment prized for preventing and protecting girth and rub sores through a thick, tacky formula that stays in place under tack. It holds its market position for everyday preventive care and chronic friction sites where sprays or aqueous antiseptics evaporate or wash away, offering a cost-effective option compared with higher-priced antimicrobial creams. Technically it provides excellent physical protection and moisture exclusion but lacks the potent antimicrobial action of products like Vetericyn or silver-honey formulations, so it is often used alongside cleansing antiseptics rather than as a sole treatment for active infections.

Equioxx Oral Paste (firocoxib) is a leader among equine COX-2 selective NSAID pastes, offering precise, labeled dosing and a safety profile designed to reduce gastrointestinal complications versus older nonselective agents, which makes it a strong option for vet-directed first-aid management of lameness or acute inflammation. Technically similar to Previcox in active ingredient and clinical intent, Equioxx’s equine-specific labeling and ease-of-use paste format give it a market advantage for on-site, rapid administration despite higher cost per dose than phenylbutazone powder or OTC pellet options. For first-aid protocols that prioritize controlled dosing and GI safety over upfront cost, Equioxx is often chosen ahead of nonselective or herbal alternatives.

Zimecterin Gold combines a macrocyclic lactone with praziquantel to deliver broad-spectrum coverage—including bots and tapeworms—in a single dose, positioning it as a market-leading, convenient solution for routine control. Technically comparable to other ivermectin+praziquantel products, its established brand presence and distribution often translate into reliable local supply and competitive bundle pricing versus some alternatives.

Core EQ Innovator is a focused market-leading product that concentrates on essential core equine antigens, delivering an efficient immunization profile with lower manufacturing complexity and attractive unit economics for routine vaccination programs. In contrast to broader multivalent formulations such as Fluvac Innovator 6 or the WNV-inclusive Prestige V + WNV, it offers veterinarians a predictable, lower-cost baseline protection strategy that integrates well into herd health budgets while allowing targeted supplemental vaccines when extra coverage is needed.

Pegasus offers a premium multimodal system that fuses pressure sensors, inertial measurement units, and synchronized video with AI-driven analytics to provide a comprehensive equine assessment for performance optimization and emergency diagnostics. It leads on technical breadth—delivering richer, cross-validated insights than single-modality competitors—and is positioned for clinics and performance centers willing to invest up front for reduced diagnostic time and longitudinal monitoring capabilities. Although its price point is higher, Pegasus can deliver financial advantages to institutions by consolidating multiple diagnostic modalities into one integrated platform, lowering total system complexity and long-term staffing costs.

The Eickemeyer mobile practice case is recognized for premium German engineering, modular foam inserts and an ergonomically optimized layout that accelerates workflow for multi-vet ambulatory teams. Its higher initial investment is offset by superior organization, lockable security and integrated power/ultrasound mounting options for on-site diagnostics and telemedicine streaming, positioning it as a technical leader versus simpler kits like Dispomed and more instrument-specific sets like Jorgensen.

A chemically defined, animal-component-free MSC culture system designed for reproducible expansion and regulatory-friendly workflows, making it well suited for equine MSC preparations intended for clinical use. Technically it offers more consistency and traceability than serum-based or less-defined media, and while it can be pricier per liter than fast-growth proprietary media, it provides clearer advantages for clinics and labs aiming for standardized, low-variability equine first-aid products compared with the other expansion options listed.
