Drink-Up: Water Additive to Encourage Horses to Drink

Support Hydration, Encourage Drinking, and Help Prevent Dehydration

Water is essential to your horse’s health and wellbeing. Whether it’s during travel, post-exercise recovery, illness, or competition, a horse that refuses to drink is at risk of dehydration—a serious issue that can impact performance, digestion, and overall health.

Drink-Up is a scientifically formulated water additive designed to encourage horses to drink more. With its unique blend of flavouring agents, floating and sinking particles, and thirst-stimulating ingredients—including Restore, a proven electrolyte supplement—Drink-Up appeals to your horse’s senses and encourages them to drink to the bottom of the bucket.

Why Choose Drink-Up?

• Encourages water intake to help prevent dehydration*
• Scientifically proven—90% of horses increased water intake when offered Drink-Up
• Appealing flavour and texture to promote drinking
• Supports hydration when horses are exposed to unfamiliar water sources
• Includes Restore to stimulate the thirst response*
• Easy to use—pre-measured 80g sachets
• Works alongside electrolyte supplements for full hydration support

Ideal For Use:

• When travelling or floating
• During competition or events
• After work or races for faster recovery
• When recovering from illness or heat stress

How It Works:

Drink-Up combines a variety of floating, sinking, and water-flavouring particles that encourage natural curiosity and stimulate drinking behaviour. Horses are enticed to investigate the water, chasing particles and enjoying the flavour, which encourages them to consume more water. Added Restore further helps activate the thirst response.

Nutritional Information (per 80g sachet):

• Crude Protein (min): 6%
• Crude Fibre (max): 10%
• Added Salt (max): 25%

Feeding Directions:

Mix one 80g sachet with 5 litres of clean, fresh water and stir well. Offer immediately, or let sit for 30 minutes to intensify flavour. For fussy horses, encourage them to try it by offering water from the bottom of the bucket or familiarising them with Drink-Up at home first.

Always provide free access to clean, fresh water, especially after electrolyte use.

Note: Drink-Up contains Restore but is not a complete replacement for an electrolyte supplement. In cases of moderate to severe dehydration, illness, or continued refusal to drink, consult your veterinarian.
