Natural Supplements for Animals

Hilary’s Lusitano ‘Flamengo’

Our StoryDid this really begin over 25 years ago? Tony and I are still finding it hard to believe that formulating and producing a herbal supplement for our horse Ryan in the late 1980’s, could have led to the creation of a business that has stood the test of time for over a quarter of a century!

During this time we have never underestimated just how lucky we have been, to be able to combine our love of animals, with a determination to bring the highest quality herbal supplements, and natural healthcare products, supported by friendly, informed, helpful advice, to a wider audience of animal and pet owners around the world.

As you may imagine, it hasn’t always been plain sailing, and like many small businesses we have had our fair share of challenging, and life changing experiences! What we do know is that none of our achievements would have been possible without the help and support of our fantastically loyal customers, many of

whom have been with us since “Day 1”, and the dedicated team here at Hilton Herbs who share both our convictions and our values.

We hope you enjoy looking through this catalogue, and find it both informative and helpful. We love to hear from you, so why not contact us and give us the opportunity to help you care for the animals and pets in your life for many more years to come.

Thank you

Hilary and Tony

Dry Herbal Supplements Directions for use – Add to feedA measuring scoop is included in every tub or refill bag of our dry herbal supplements and we advise you to allow at least three weeks for complete absorption.

Full ingredients together with directions for use and storage instructions are given on the back of each tub or bag. Dosages as follows:

Up to 12.2 hh (128cm)1 scoop daily

12.2hh – 14.2hh (128cm – 148cm)2 scoops daily



16.2hh and above (168cm and above)4 – 5 scoops daily

In general a 1kg tub will last a 16hh horse approximately 3–4 weeks although this will vary slightly depending on the product used.

Liquid Herbal SupplementsHilton Gold Solutions – Add to feed or orally syringeThese products are concentrated, faster-acting, and economical. They are packed in an easy-to-use sturdy plastic bottle with an integrated measuring tank marked from 10–25 ml. A 1L bottle will last a 16.2hh horse up to 33 days based on a dosage of 30mls per day.

Some owners may prefer our Gold solutions because they are more quickly absorbed by the digestive system. With picky feeders they can be given directly into the horse’s mouth by syringe, and for larger horses they are a more economical way of feeding a herbal supplement.

Full ingredients together with directions for use and storage instructions are given on the back of each bottle. Dosage as follows:

Up to 12.2hh (128cm)5ml twice daily

Easy Mare Like some women, mares can experience physical discomfort just prior to or during their seasons. Does your mare struggle with some of her training? Find it difficult to do a smooth canter transition? “Buck or leap” into canter? Resist lengthening her stride or performing lateral movements?

All these physical and behavioural traits could suggest she is uncomfortable and this may be related to her cycle?

Easy Mare is our palatable blend of herbs that does not contain hormones. It is another of our best-sellers, and can offer you a more natural way to support your hormonal mare or ‘riggy’ gelding.

Our herbal supplement is ideal for maintaining normal healthy balanced hormone levels and a calm steady nervous system in both female and male horses.

Dry Herbal FormulationsDirections for useAn appropriate measuring scoop is included in each of our dry herb mix packs. A full ingredients listing plus directions for use and storage are printed on the back of each pack.

Quantities are related to your dog’s body-weight and are as follows:

5kgs / 11lbs Half a 2.5ml scoop per day10kgs / 22lbs 1 x 2.5ml scoop per day20kgs / 44lbs 2 x 2.5ml scoops per day30kgs / 66lbs 3 x 2.5ml scoops per day40kgs / 88lbs 4 x 2.5ml scoops per day.

As a rough guide, when fed at 3 level scoops daily, a 125g bag of our proprietary blends will last approximately 6 weeks, however this can vary slightly depending on the mix.

Always introduce the herbs to your dog’s food very gradually, building up to the full dosage over a period of several days. Remember herbs are a gentle therapy so allow 2–3 weeks for complete absorption of dried herbs.

Note: If possible try and split the daily amount of herbs between two meals. Dogs have a very fast metabolism and by feeding the herbs twice daily the body has a better opportunity to absorb the herbs’ active constituents.

Gold Liquid ProductsDirections for useOur Gold products are made from pure herbal tinctures mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar. Some dog owners may prefer to use the liquid format as it is assimilated faster by the dog’s digestive system and so produces a quicker response.

Some customers may like to start on the liquid product and then switch to the equivalent dry mix for longer term use, which can be more economical. Canine Gold liquid products should be added to your dog’s food and, if possible try, and split the daily amount between two feeds. If your dog is very fussy the Gold products can be syringed into your dog’s mouth.

Our Gold liquid products are packed in easy-to-use, sturdy, plastic bottles with an integrated measuring tank marked from 10ml–25ml. Full ingredients listing with feeding guide and storage recommendations are provided on the label.

Quantities are related to your dog’s body-weight and are as follows:

5kg (11lbs) – 1 - 2ml twice a day10kg (22lbs) – 2 - 4ml twice a day20kg (44lbs) – 4 - 8ml twice a day30kg (66lbs) – 6 - 12ml twice a day40kg (88lbs) – 8 - 16ml twice a day.

Product FormulationHilton cat products are formulated usinga combination of the highest quality 1:3 herbal tinctures blended with sweet-tasting vegetable glycerine for exceptional palatability.

If possible try to give the herbs on an empty stomach, preferably 30 minutes before food to help the body assimilate them more quickly. The product can either be dropped straight into the cat’s mouth, added to a small amount of food or broth, or dropped onto the cat’s paws where he or she will lick it off.

We have had no problem getting cats to take the products using one or other of these methods, even our ferocious farm cat will happily lick it off her paws!

Directions for UseGive 4 drops per 1kg (2.2lb) bodyweight twice daily. This means that each 50 ml bottle will last an average size 4kg (10lb) cat 30 days using 16 drops twice daily.


Natural Supplements for Cats


Our cats are part of our family and as such we want to be confident our home offers them a safe and relaxed environment in which to hunt, eat, groom and sleep as this is the natural cycle of life for every cat.

Unfortunately some of our pets have not had a good start in life and come to us after being abandoned or badly treated.

Needless to say these cats will have their own emotional problems and who can blame them if they appear fearful, anxious, aggressive or reluctant to trust us again?

Cats are natural hunters, one only has to see how young kittens chase after a ball of paper, ambush us from behind a cardboard

box or pounce on a toy mouse to realise that it is hard wired in their DNA to chase insects, birds, leaves, feathers or a stuffed toy.

This fact is recognised by the pet industry and there are now literally thousands of commercially available toys that mimic the scampering and flitting movements of mice, birds or insects. To maintain both physical and mental health, it is vital for cats to follow their instincts and spend time each day ‘hunting’ even if this is playing with a toy mouse or chasing a ‘wand’ toy.

Regular play will ensure a cats mind is kept stimulated preventing boredom, relieving stress and keeping him/her fit and healthy.

Kitty Kalm We all try to do the very best for our pets, providing a healthy diet, mental and physical stimulation and all the care and love we can give them. Unfortunately despite our best laid plans outside factors can upset our companions, loud noises, fireworks, changes in routine, the introduction of a new cat or baby can all impact on their emotional wellbeing and subsequently their physical health.

When these things happen, your cat may find it hard to adapt and relax. This is when Kitty Kalm can offer extra support by providing just the right combination of calming soothing herbs to help maintain a steady, calm outlook and relaxed behaviour.

Natural Supplements for BirdsIn the wild birds know instinctively how to self-select a wide variety of plants, herbs, grasses, seeds, roots, and fruits to help them maintain overall good health and freedom from internal parasites. Unfortunately our domesticated birds may not have access to these same health-giving plants and this inability to obtain fresh plants and seeds may ultimately affect their overall health and fitness. When you then add to this the stresses of breeding, showing, egg production, internal parasites, and the moult, it is no wonder their health may suffer.

Our products are suitable not only for caged birds but also for poultry, as more and more people are keeping chickens or re-homing battery hens for their own egg production. We have our own small flock and know just how quickly they become part of the family, working their way into your heart with their own quirky characters. You will want to do the best for them so they can do the best for you!

We believe that by using the appropriate herbal supplements, in conjunction with a good diet, clean hygienic housing, and freedom to exercise, we can greatly enhance the health of poultry and birds. Herbs will reconnect them to their origins, enabling them to maintain prime health as their wild cousins do. Please note that all the products featured in this catalogue are equally suitable for poultry or caged birds.

Liquid ProductsAll our liquid products are packed in easy-to-use plastic bottles with an integrated measuring tank marked from 10ml – 25ml. Full ingredients listing, feeding guide, and storage instructions are provided on the label.

Directions for use: • Shake well before each use. • Add 20 drops per 100ml of drinking water (1ml = 20 drops) or• Add 10ml to every 1 litre of drinking water • Replenish every time drinking water is renewed or changed.
