Animal health gets complicated fast. Walk into any feed store, browse any equine or livestock supply website, or scroll through pet supplement ads, and you will find a wall of products — each one promising to solve a specific problem. A joint supplement for this. A probiotic for that. An immune booster. A coat supplement. An omega-3 oil. An anti-inflammatory. The list grows, the costs stack up, and somewhere in the middle of managing a cabinet full of products with different dosing schedules and different claims, the goal gets lost.
At Outlaw Nutrition, we started with a different premise. Animal wellness should be straightforward, reliable, and grounded in what animals actually require — not what marketers can convince you to buy. Since our founding in 2018, that belief has shaped everything we do, from how we source our ingredients to how we formulate our products. We are not in the business of selling you six supplements when one will do more.
What Animals Actually Need
Horses, cattle, dogs, and virtually every other animal Outlaw Nutrition serves share a common nutritional reality: their bodies cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids on their own. Omega-3s are essential fats — required for cellular function, immune response, inflammation control, coat and skin health, joint integrity, and dozens of other physiological processes. They must come from the diet. And in the vast majority of modern feeding programs — hay-based equine diets, grain-heavy livestock rations, and commercial pet foods built on corn and soybean bases — omega-3s are either absent or present in quantities too small to make a meaningful difference.
This is not a minor deficiency. When omega-3 levels are chronically low, the body defaults to omega-6 fatty acids for many of those same functions. Omega-6s, found in abundance in grain-based feeds, produce pro-inflammatory compounds rather than anti-inflammatory ones. The result is systemic low-grade inflammation that quietly limits performance, slows recovery, degrades coat and skin quality, stresses joints, and compromises immune resilience — often without any single obvious symptom that points directly to the cause.
Supplementing omega-3s through the richest, most bioavailable plant source available — cold-milled flaxseed — is the foundation of everything Outlaw Nutrition makes. Flax contains 55% omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in its oil, making it the richest plant source of omega-3s in existence. By cold-milling rather than heat-processing our flax, we preserve the integrity of those fatty acids so they arrive in the animal’s body intact and functional, not degraded by the heat that destroys nutritional value in conventionally processed flax.
The Second Ingredient That Changes Everything
Cold-milled flax alone is a powerful nutritional tool. What makes Outlaw Nutrition’s premium supplements genuinely different is the second ingredient — a unique microbial fermentation product that works unlike any probiotic, prebiotic, or digestive supplement on the market.
This ingredient is a non-viable abiotic — meaning it contains no live bacteria. Instead, it is the fermentation product of a specialized Lactobacillus process that locks in metabolites, enzymes, and cellular components that feed and activate the native beneficial bacteria already living in the animal’s gut. Rather than introducing foreign bacteria that must survive stomach acid and compete for colonization — which is how probiotics work, and why they so often fall short — this ingredient works with what is already there, making the animal’s own microbiome more robust, more active, and more effective.
The practical results are significant. University research has shown this ingredient increases total rumen bacteria counts in cattle to nearly 8 times the control level, outperforming yeast, fungal enzymes, and leading commercial fermentation products by a wide margin. It improves nutrient digestibility by 14% or more across dry matter, protein, and fiber components. It reduces lactic acid buildup during exertion in horses. It decreases the need for therapeutic medications in stressed livestock by up to 48%. And it does all of this with an 18 to 24 month shelf life at room temperature, with no refrigeration required, and full compatibility with antibiotics and other medications.
Combined with cold-milled flax, this ingredient creates a supplement that addresses two of the most fundamental pillars of animal health — essential fatty acid nutrition and gut microbiome support — in one product.
Three Products. Three Species. One Standard of Quality.
Outlaw Nutrition’s premium supplement lineup applies this two-ingredient approach to three distinct species, each formulated to meet the specific needs of that animal.
Big Hoss is built for horses — every horse, at every level. Whether you are preparing a racehorse for the track, competing at weekend shows, heading out on trail rides, or simply keeping a beloved companion in the best health possible, Big Hoss delivers the same premium nutritional foundation. Equine athletes of all kinds — from racehorses and reiners to barrel horses, jumpers, working ranch horses, trail horses, and backyard companions — benefit from controlled inflammation, efficient nutrient absorption, strong immune function, and rapid recovery. Big Hoss also supports coat shine, hoof quality, muscle development, and digestive stability for horses of all ages, breeds, and activity levels. For those competing in sanctioned events, it is screened for compliance with USEF, FEI, IFHA, and HIWU standards. A 50lb bag lasts approximately three months for an average 1,100-pound horse.
Stocked Up is built for livestock — cattle, sheep, goats, llamas, and other multi-species ruminants and livestock. For producers, every input decision comes down to return on investment, and Stocked Up is one of the clearest values in the supplement market. The omega-3s from cold-milled flax improve feed efficiency by more than 12% in research trials, meaning producers extract more value from the feed they are already buying. The microbial ingredient drives higher daily gains, reduces disease-related losses, and supports faster recovery from the stress events — weaning, transport, weather, illness — that cost producers real money every year.
Unleashed is built for canines. In addition to cold-milled flax and the microbial fermentation ingredient, Unleashed includes select natural berries — blueberry, goldenberry, and wolfberry — that provide antioxidants supporting liver health, eye health, bone integrity, brain function, and cardiovascular health. For working dogs, hunting dogs, sporting dogs, and active companions, Unleashed delivers the nutritional foundation that keeps them performing, recovering, and thriving.
All three products are all-natural, non-GMO, low sugar, low starch, and produced in a Safe Feed/Safe Food certified facility in the USA. All three carry a 2-year shelf life when stored properly. All three are compatible with existing feed programs and medications. And all three are designed to top-dress over existing feed — no overhaul of your feeding program required.
Simple, Honest, Effective
The supplement industry runs on complexity. More products, more ingredients, more claims. Outlaw Nutrition runs on the opposite — the fewest, highest-quality ingredients needed to deliver the most meaningful results. We are not trying to fill a shelf. We are trying to fill a nutritional gap that most animals are living with every day, and do it in a way that is straightforward enough for any owner or producer to implement without a nutrition degree.
Omega-3 fatty acids are required. The gut microbiome is foundational. When you address both with proven, research-backed ingredients in one product, the results show up where it matters — in your animal’s coat, condition, performance, recovery, and health.
