A Different Kind of Company
At BioStar, our principles aren’t marketing language — they’re operational standards.
They shape how we source, formulate, serve, and grow.
At BioStar, we’ve always believed there’s a better way to support animal health.
From top to bottom, we stand apart from other horse and dog supplement companies — not just because we use real, whole food ingredients, but because we understand something fundamental:
Whole food and true health are deeply connected.
We don’t chase trends. We don’t cut corners. And we don’t create products simply to compete on price.
We formulate authentic whole food supplements for horses and dogs with intention — starting at the source. That means carefully selected raw materials, organically-sourced as often as possible, small and conscientious suppliers, and a close relationship from farm to table. Quality control isn’t a department here; it’s a commitment.
Customer satisfaction isn’t a slogan — it’s part of our culture. It’s why you can reach us seven days a week, even on holidays. It’s why we ship within twenty-four hours of your order — often the same day. And it’s why when you contact us, you hear back from a knowledgeable human being who genuinely wants to help.
We take pride in every stage of what we do — from early concept and research to development and the finished supplement formulas designed to support your horse or dog’s best possible health and quality of life.
We won’t sacrifice raw material quality to save money.
We won’t compromise our team’s wellbeing to increase profits.
And we won’t replicate what another company has already created.
Our formulas are uniquely BioStar — developed with purpose, integrity, and respect for the animals who depend on them.
Real ingredients. Real animals. Real people. Real results.
Our Standards. Our Commitments. Our Mission.

BioStar's Humble Beginnings...
BioStar began not in a laboratory, but in Tigger Montague’s kitchen in Charlottesville, Virginia.
It started with a horse suffering from severe inflammation of the bursa — a condition that had not responded to conventional treatments or therapies. Despite every effort, the prognosis grew increasingly discouraging.
Her veterinarian, Dr. Tim Ober, explained the final option often considered in cases like this: a surgical neurectomy. For a horse competing at the highest levels of the sport, the prospect of permanent nerve loss was devastating. The thought of having no other path forward was even harder.
Before making such a drastic and irreversible decision, Tigger chose to try something different. She began exploring the power of whole foods — real, nutrient-dense ingredients — to support the horse’s body naturally. What started as a simple act of hope became something extraordinary.
To the surprise of both Tigger and Dr. Ober, the horse began to improve. With a carefully crafted blend of sprouted and whole foods, inflammation subsided. Strength returned. Eventually, the horse came sound. Surgery was no longer necessary. A lifetime of pharmaceuticals was no longer inevitable.
That original kitchen-crafted formula became the foundation of BioStar. It was later developed into Furnace EQ, named for its ability to support nitric oxide production and help manage inflammation in the equine body.
From that first success, additional whole-food formulations for horses followed. What began as one woman’s determination to help a single horse grew into BioStar — a company rooted in nourishment, innovation, and a belief in the healing power of real food.

Being the Change We Want to See in the World
Just as BioStar is dedicated to finding the best ingredients and the best team, we’re just as committed to giving back by supporting larger sustainability efforts. Each quarter, a charity is chosen and a percentage of product sales goes directly to it. Charities range from horse and dog rescues, to environmental organizations, to sustainable agriculture initiatives. Each are given the spotlight in newsletters, highlighted on our website, and featured in social media posts along with donation information.
From there, BioStar builds on these philanthropic ideals to join forces with the American Sustainable Business Council, an organization that promotes sustainable and vibrant economics, working towards better environmental policies in the government and in the media.
BioStar stands up for its values and doesn’t shy away from tough issues. We’ve taken a stance on GMO labeling, saving the pollinators, biodiversity, no-till farming, the reduction of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, the importance of the soil microbiome, and reducing our carbon footprint.
