Great video!
Education is huge in the equine world and not enough professionals or companies are willing to step up and help teach! I look forward to helping educate on my page as well. Again great information!

What's the difference between the elastikon and the vet wrap?

[@smartpak]

Hi Midge Mode, thanks for your great question! The Elastikon Bandage Tape is a cotton elastic cloth tape with a rubber-based adhesive that helps to keep bandages from sliding down, especially in hard-to-wrap areas. Vetrap is an elastic bandage that only sticks to itself and is great for wrapping minor wounds and hooves. We’d recommend checking in with your veterinarian about which of these options is best for your horse’s situation, and you’re always welcome to reach out to our Customer Care Team at 1-800-461-8898 or [e-mail] if we can be of any further assistance. - SmartPaker Alissa
