OCD™ Pellets

As a nutritional supplement that "Feeds the Bone," OCD™ Pellets provide the fundamental building blocks for healthy bone and aid in resolving skeletal injuries and joint pain in the equine athlete. Post-use radiographs of horses on OCD™ Pellets have shown resolution of Osteochondrosis Dessicans (OCD) — in many cases eliminating the need for surgery. OCD™ Pellets address the daily nutritional requirements in the development of the cartilage and bone for horses, regardless of age. Many clients feeding OCD™ Pellets to their horses to resolve bone and joint problems are now seeing pain-free horses which are able to be ridden and enjoyed.

What is Equine OCD?

Osteochondrosis Dessicans (OCD) is the failure of the bone to develop a strong cross-linkage of collagen fibers. This condition affects the articular joint (cartilage), and often involves the subchondral bone just beneath the cartilage surface. Clinical signs develop when the cartilage in the joint starts to flake away, releasing debris into the joint and resulting in joint inflammation. OCD lesions can cause serious lameness and may show up only when the horse is stressed.

Why Do I Need OCD™ Pellets?

Throughout a horse’s life, its skeletal system is continually remodeling and changing as new bone is formed daily. Joint problems usually occur due to poor quality bone's inability to withstand the daily rigors of training and competing. A horse with healthy bones is a pain-free horse. OCD™ Pellets provide the fundamental building blocks for healthy bone and aid in resolving skeletal injuries and joint pain. Horses of all disciplines and levels of use will benefit from this revolutionary supplement. Whether you are a weekend warrior or a professional competitor, your horses will work better and stay sounder when OCD™ Pellets are a part of their nutritional program.

What Are The Ingredients?

OCD Pellets is made up of a revolutionary water-soluble formulation of Hyaluronic Acid, Silicon Dioxide, Amino Acids, minerals, vitamins and micro-sized isolates; precursors to the active ingredients found in Chondroitin and Glucosamine. Micro-size Isolates participate in the chemical reactions of Chondroitin and Glucosamine for better assimilation and absorption of active ingredients. These small micro-sized isolates penetrate the cellular walls more efficiently than larger ones, providing quicker and more effective nourishment to the joints and bone. OCD™ Pellets does not rely on the large and difficult molecules for absorption but on the technology of micro-sized molecules (Isolates) for a superior assimilation and utilization of active ingredients necessary for healthy bone and joints for horses. It is a breakthrough formula that protects, maintains and rehabilitates both bone and joints by supplying pharmaceutical quality micro-sized isolates. ( Learn More )

What Do Customers Say About Our Product?

Back in 2022 Roxentwist, CJ, a Westphalian, was only a couple months old when we found a bone cyst lying in her right front pastern that was causing some discomfort and inflammation. I had her examined by a vet with x-rays and lameness examinations which concluded in some stall rest and the use of OCD Pellets. I have had her on it ever since that day and she has been sound with no swelling ever since! I will have x-rays to confirm the state of the cyst when she is fully developed, but thus far it has seemed to seriously target these conditions and work as a preventative supplement. Also she loves it and eats it right out of the hand!

I just wanted to thank both Sylvie and Dr. Beebe for being so very helpful on the phone with me. My order arrived so fast! 2 days! It was so re-assuring to speak with an actual Vet about my horse's condition. I will definitely keep in touch about how he progresses. I have a good feeling about OCD™ Pellets! I am extremely hopeful that finally there is an answer for my baby boy, Rusty!

Heather & Rusty Ryan, Monkton, MD

Our precious thoroughbred fractured his cannon bone last April. He went through electrical stimulation treatment, stall rest and the bone was healing, but slowly. We began using OCD™ Pellets and within a few months, our vet was shocked at the degree of healing! The fracture is very long and near the joint and they didn't believe it would heal completely. The last x-ray shows dramatic changes and all signs point to a complete resolution of the fracture. Woo hoo! We now give OCD™ Pellets to all our horses and have seen dramatic improvement. Thanks for a wonderful product!

How does "Feeding the Bone" work?

The formula is built on the principle that osteochondrosis often traces back to nutritional gaps that keep bone from forming a strong cross-linkage of collagen fibers. Rather than relying on large glucosamine and chondroitin molecules that are hard to assimilate, OCD™ Pellets deliver micro-sized isolates comparable to those actives for improved absorption, while silicon helps initiate the bone-growth process and drives ongoing mineralization. The result is a dual-action approach that addresses joint inflammation while supplying the raw building blocks for healthy cartilage and dense, properly mineralized bone.

Which conditions and which horses does it target?

Doc's Products positions OCD™ Pellets for a wide range of skeletal issues: Equine OCDs (Osteochondritis Dissecans), Osteochondrosis, bone cysts, DJD (Degenerative Joint Disease), Epiphysitis, Osteoarthritis, Navicular Syndrome, Sesamoiditis, bucked shins, bone lesions, and slab fractures. It is fed across all disciplines and life stages, from broodmares supporting first-trimester bone mineralization and rapidly growing weanlings and yearlings, to performance horses in training (peak bone mineral content isn't reached until age six) and geriatric horses over 15 managing cartilage wear and joint pain.

How do you feed it?

The maintenance dose is 1 scoop (1 oz) per day; horses with active orthopedic problems are fed 2 scoops (2 oz) per day, typically for 90 days or until radiographed clean. The pellets can be top-dressed on individual feedings or blended into a custom feed mixture, and most horses readily eat them, even from hand feeding. Because the formula is alfalfa-based and won't interfere with complete feeds, it slots easily into an existing ration.

What does it cost and how is it guaranteed?

Pail sizes run from a 4 lb pail (64 servings) at $98.00 up to a 60 lb pail (960 servings) at $959.00, with 15 lb ($340.00) and 40 lb ($824.00) options in between, dropping the daily cost to under a dollar at the largest size. First-time orders include a complimentary supply, and the product carries a Risk-Free, 100% Money Back Guarantee: unopened, original-packaging product in resalable condition can be returned, with refunds issued by check in 7-10 business days after the company receives the item (shipping is not refunded). Returns are handled through customer service.

The Solution Section (FAQ)

Who founded Doc's Products and how did OCD™ Pellets come to be?

Doc's Products was founded by Dr. Douglas R. Beebe, a long-time veterinarian, and is privately owned and operated. After more than twenty years in practice, Dr. Beebe became concerned with the significant increase in problems associated with the equine skeletal system. After categorizing radiographs over a fifteen-year period, he saw rising occurrences of fractures, bone spurs, Epiphysitis, OCD lesions, and Sesamoiditis. His post-graduate work in nutrition led him to conclude there was a nutritional basis for the demise of the skeletal system in equine athletes — and that work led to OCD™ Pellets. Doc's is direct sale only, no distribution, which lets them offer the lowest price to clients.

What ingredients are in OCD Pellets?

The formula includes forage products, dextrose, yeast culture, mucopolysaccharides, hyaluronic acid, Sodium Zeolite A (a silicon source), calcium proteinate, calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, and a boron amino acid complex. It also contains a broad slate of amino acids — glycine, L-glutamine, L-lysine, L-proline, L-arginine, L-threonine, aspartic acid and L-tyrosine — plus manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), pyridoxine and sulfur. Yucca Schidigera extract is used as a natural flavoring agent.

How much silicon and hyaluronic acid does each serving provide?

Each 28-gram serving of OCD Pellets supplies approximately 900 mg of silicon and 50 mg of hyaluronic acid. According to Doc's Products, silicon helps get the bone-growth process started and continues bone mineralization, and silicon compounds have been shown in vitro to stimulate DNA synthesis in osteoblasts (the bone-building cells).

What does "Feeding the Bone" mean?

"Feeding the Bone" is Doc's Products' philosophy that many equine bone and joint problems stem from nutritional gaps that prevent bone from forming a strong cross-linkage of collagen fibers. Rather than just masking pain, the pellets aim to supply the raw nutritional building blocks — silicon, minerals, amino acids and joint nutrients — so the horse's body can build and maintain healthy cartilage and properly mineralized bone.

What bone and joint conditions are OCD Pellets fed for?

Doc's Products lists a wide range of conditions, including Equine OCDs (Osteochondritis Dissecans), Osteochondrosis, bone cysts, DJD (Degenerative Joint Disease), Epiphysitis, Osteoarthritis, Navicular Syndrome and Sesamoiditis. It is also fed for bucked shins, bone lesions and slab fractures. Owner testimonials describe use after fractures, joint chips, and post-surgical recovery.

What is osteochondrosis (OCD) in horses?

According to Doc's Products, osteochondrosis (OCD) is the failure of bone to develop a strong cross-linkage of collagen fibers, affecting joint cartilage and the underlying bone so that cartilage flakes away and triggers joint inflammation. They cite three primary causes: poor nutrition (the most significant), mechanical trauma, and rapid skeletal growth. The condition most often appears in young, rapidly growing horses.

Why are young horses more prone to OCD?

Young horses go through rapid skeletal development — mineralization reaches about 68% by six months of age — and inadequate nutrition during this window can disrupt proper bone-matrix formation. Doc's Products cites Colorado State University data showing that 55.9% of horses presented to them with OCD were under one year old. Because maximum bone mineral content isn't reached until age six, the company recommends support through this whole growth phase.

How do you feed OCD Pellets?

The maintenance dose is 1 scoop (1 oz) per day, and horses with active orthopedic problems are fed 2 scoops (2 oz) per day. The pellets can be top-dressed on a regular feeding or blended into a custom feed mixture, and most horses eat them readily, even from the hand. Because they are alfalfa-based, they won't interfere with complete-feed supplements.

How long should a horse stay on OCD Pellets?

For horses with bone problems, Doc's Products recommends feeding 2 scoops per day for 90 days or until the horse is radiographed clean. Many owner testimonials describe re-x-raying at intervals such as 30, 60, 90 days or a few months to confirm healing. Horses can then be moved to a maintenance dose for ongoing bone and joint support.

What does OCD Pellets cost?

Pricing by pail size is: 4 lb (64 servings) for $98.00, 15 lb (240 servings) for $340.00, 40 lb (640 servings) for $824.00, and 60 lb (960 servings) for $959.00. On a per-day basis that ranges from about $1.53 down to roughly $0.99 at the largest size. SKUs are OCD4LBS, OCD15LBS, OCD40LBS and OCD60LBS.

Is there a free product offer for first-time buyers?

Yes. Doc's Products promotes a complimentary supply with a first order — referenced on the site as up to $98 in free product and described as a free roughly two-month testing supply (about 120 g / 60 doses), with eligibility requirements. This lets new customers try OCD Pellets before committing to a larger pail.

What is the money-back guarantee?

OCD Pellets carry a RISK-FREE, 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. To receive a refund, returned merchandise must be in unopened, original packaging and in resalable condition; once the company receives the item, the refund is issued by check within 7–10 business days. Shipping costs are not refunded, and returns are processed through customer service at 866-392-2363.

Will OCD Pellets interfere with my horse's regular feed or other supplements?

No. Doc's Products states the alfalfa-based, dual-action bone-and-joint formula won't interfere with complete feed supplements. It is designed to be top-dressed or blended into an existing ration, so it can be added alongside a horse's normal feeding program without reformulating the whole diet.

Why does the formula use micro-sized isolates instead of standard glucosamine and chondroitin?

Doc's Products explains that traditional glucosamine and chondroitin are large glycosaminoglycan and proteoglycan molecules that can be difficult for the horse to absorb. OCD Pellets instead use micro-sized isolates comparable to the active ingredients of chondroitin and glucosamine, intended for improved absorption. The goal is to get more of the joint-supporting nutrients actually assimilated by the horse.

Can broodmares and foals benefit from OCD Pellets?

Yes. Doc's Products recommends OCD Pellets for broodmares — especially in the first trimester when initial bone mineralization occurs — to help prevent developmental orthopedic disease in foals. They also recommend it for weanlings and yearlings during the critical 3–9 month growth window when skeletal development can outpace weight gain. Several testimonials describe feeding it to mares to produce OCD-free foals.

Are there real results behind OCD Pellets?

Doc's Products publishes an extensive testimonials page with named owners and trainers across the U.S. and abroad describing improvements such as bone cysts remodeling, fractures radiographing clean, OCD lesions closing, swelling reducing, and horses returning to racing, barrel racing, eventing and showing. The company also states that post-use radiographs of horses on OCD Pellets have shown resolution of osteochondrosis. As with any supplement, individual results vary, and owners should work with their veterinarian and use follow-up radiographs to confirm progress.
