What is veterinary liniment gel

Veterinary liniment gel is formulated for animal use, most commonly horses. The gel format allows controlled placement on legs, joints, backs, shoulders, and hips.

Many riders choose gel over liquid liniments when they want less mess, more precision, and a product that stays where it is applied.

Modern liniment gel formulas
