Product Overview - Product Description

Shiny Hiney™ is an innovative, low-cost niche hygiene/grooming product for horses (particularly foals) with diarrhea.  As the name eloquently explains, Shiny Hiney™ when applied to the hind end of a foal that experiences diarrhea (up to 80% of normal foals experience some degree of diarrhea in the first 30 days of life) the product dissolves, allows for the natural removal of dried fecal material and prevents the loss of hair to exposed areas, a chain of events in foals analogous to diaper rash.  Traditionally, foals experiencing diarrhea require daily cleansing with soap to loosen and dissolve build up in the hairs, then separate application of a lubricant to prevent the subsequent build-up of fecal material.  If not addressed properly, the fecal material can lead to marked discomfort, scalding, and subsequent hair loss.

Product Use

Shiny Hiney™ is a suspension applied by squirting to the hind end twice daily.  Ideally, the product should be applied prior to the onset of diarrhea (observation of loose stools).  An application is quick, innocuous, and requires virtually no labor and with no mess or clean up.  Fecal material does not adhere to the animal and runs off with the area where applied to have a shiny appearance (due to the natural oils in the product).

Market Analysis

With the high percentage of foals experiencing diarrhea, virtually every foal has a use for the product.  Shiny Hiney™ potentially should be a component of the traditional “foaling kit” along with the naval dip, thermometer, and enema.  Additionally, horses of all ages experiencing diarrhea can make use of the product making all horse owners and veterinary hospitals logical markets.

New Uses Discovered

We recently discovered a new use for Shiny Hiney™.  Meet 'Tater'! 

Tater's owner, Alicia M, contacted us with this message... 

"Do you know if Shiny Hiney™ is safe for puppies/dogs? I have a paralyzed bulldog that gets a build-up of poo on his hiney and am looking for a product to use long term."

We advised Alicia to head to a local retailer that carries Shiny Hiney™.  She did and is now using it to help make Tater more comfortable.

"I got some there today. I’m glad it’s safe for dogs. It smells good."

Our primary goal for our product is to help with foal heat diarrhea.  But, our product is made from natural ingredients that are safe for any animal.

There's a good dog!  We're happy when you're happy, Tater and Alicia! 

But, this event inspired us to develop a new product just for dogs, Doggie Derriere™.
