Aniwell FiltaBac is a thick, soothing cream with antibacterial qualities. It has SPF 30+ so can be used as a sun cream for horses andsun cream for dogs.
First impressions
It was a really big pot of cream with both sun block and antibacterial properties — amazing!
Overview of performance
This was superb — by far the most amazing all-purpose cream I’ve used. It didn’t rub off and was very easy to apply. The horses didn’t object to application and it soothed agitated and irritated skin.
Harriet’s likes and dislikes
I really liked the dual purpose of the Aniwell FiltaBac — it offered excellent protection from UV rays, soothed sore skin, kept the flies at bay and created a barrier. There isn’t anything I’d change about it. For me, this is the best in the market for sun protection and for soothing and protecting sensitive and agitated skin. I found it great for sensitive types and anything with known allergies. It helped with one horse who had bites and grazes, as it kept the flies away and acted as a barrier.
It is slightly more expensive than the others but, as it was a much larger pot and multi-purpose, it really was a fabulous product to use. Worth every penny.
Verdict
H&H Approved – A stand-out winner for me — Aniwell FiltaBac is a great multi-purpose cream!
