Equine Intact™ vs SmartPak Daily
SmartPak built the daily-supplement category for horse owners, and a lot of barns run on it for a good reason: it's convenient. This page walks through the actual differences between Equine Intact™ and SmartPak's Daily SmartPaks line so you can make a buying decision on facts instead of marketing.
The short answer
SmartPak Daily is a customizable, single-serve daily-pack system. You pick the supplements, SmartPak portions them into per-day pouches, and ships them on a schedule. It's a legitimately good product for owners juggling multiple supplements across multiple horses. Equine Intact™ is a different animal: one bottle, one daily scoop, a tightly focused mineral-and-magnesium foundation built around a specific philosophy of fewer ingredients, dosed right. If you currently run a stack of four or five SmartPak supplements and want to consolidate to a single foundation, Equine Intact™ is built for that. If you need to layer specialty supplements (joint, hoof, ulcer) on top of a base, SmartPak's packs may stay useful as a delivery system. Both can coexist.

Why each row actually matters
Daily dose
SmartPak's single-serve pouch is genuinely useful if you have a barn manager who isn't the same person every day, or if you're running multiple horses on different stacks. The trade-off is that what's in each pouch depends entirely on the products you picked, so the "is my horse getting enough magnesium" question gets harder to answer at a glance. Equine Intact™ takes the opposite approach: one scoop, one bottle, one formula. You always know exactly what's going in.
Cost per day
SmartPak's per-day cost is the honest weakness of the model. A custom four-product stack adds up fast, and the convenience fee is real. Equine Intact™ is priced as a single foundation supplement; for a horse that needs a tight mineral-magnesium base and nothing else, the math works out cleaner.
Ingredient transparency
Both companies publish per-product labels. The difference is at the system level: with SmartPak you're assembling a stack and reading several labels; with Equine Intact™ the whole formula is on one label and there are no proprietary blends hiding ratios. The team's view is that for a daily foundation, you should know every milligram of every active.
Subscribe & save
Equine Intact™ subscribers save $25 on every refill, full stop. SmartPak's AutoShip terms vary by product. Run the math against your specific cart before assuming either is better.
Money-back guarantee
30 days, no-questions-asked, on Equine Intact™. If your horse doesn't respond, the team would rather give you your money back than have you keep buying something that isn't working.
When SmartPak Daily might be the right choice
- You're managing a multi-horse barn with different protocols per horse. The per-horse, per-day pouch is genuinely the cleanest way to keep four horses on four different supplement stacks without mistakes.
- You need specialty supplements layered together. If your vet has you on a specific joint protocol, a hoof product, an ulcer product, and a calmer all at once, SmartPak's packaging system is built for exactly that.
- You already have a SmartPak account dialed in and your horse is doing well. Don't fix what isn't broken. Equine Intact™ is for owners actively shopping for a better daily foundation, not owners whose current stack is working.
When Equine Intact™ is the right choice
- You want to consolidate. If you're running a four-bucket stack of mineral, magnesium, electrolyte, and "general wellness" supplements and the per-day cost is creeping past $5, simplifying to one focused foundation can both save money and make the diet easier to reason about.
- You're a single-horse owner who wants a clean, transparent foundation. One bottle, one scoop, one label to read.
- You care about per-ingredient dosing. If you've been frustrated by proprietary blends elsewhere, the full-disclosure label is built for you.
- You want a real refund window. The 30-Day Money Back Guarantee means you can actually test it on your horse without committing to a long-term contract.
Quick questions
Can I switch from SmartPak Daily to Equine Intact™?
Yes. Most owners simply finish their current SmartPak shipment, then start Equine Intact™ the next day at one scoop top-dressed on feed. If your horse is on a specialty product from SmartPak (joint, hoof, ulcer), you can keep that one and just swap the foundation.
Do I need to taper off SmartPak first?
No taper is required to switch foundation-level mineral supplements. If you're on a specialty product your vet prescribed, talk to your vet before changing that one.
What's the dosing difference?
Equine Intact™ is one scoop, once daily, top-dressed on feed. SmartPak Daily varies entirely based on what products you have in your pack.
Cost over a year?
At single-bottle pricing, Equine Intact™ runs roughly $900–$1,080 per year per horse. On subscription with the $25-per-refill discount, it's lower. Compare that to your current SmartPak annual spend [verify against your account]. For many owners consolidating from a stack, the swap pays for itself.
Does Equine Intact™ replace my joint or hoof supplement?
It isn't designed to. Equine Intact™ is a daily mineral-and-magnesium foundation. If your horse needs targeted joint or hoof support, keep that product and just use Equine Intact™ as the base layer.
Ready to try Equine Intact™?
One scoop a day. Roughly $2.50–$3.00 per day at full price; less on subscription with $25 off every refill. Backed by a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, so you can actually see how your horse responds before you commit.
