Deworming Recommendations  There are two methods used for deworming horses. The first method is to administer paste dewormers every 8-12 weeks. The second method is to keep the horse on a daily dewormer and paste deworm twice a year.

1. Paste Deworming Protocol:

December/January-Moxidectin (Quest) (Use in horses only. We do not recommend using in miniature horses or ponies.)
OR 
Double dose Fenbendazole (Panacur Power Pac) - This can be repeated for 5 days in a row if horse is showing signs of small strongyle infestation (poor coat, chronic colic, diarrhea, unthrifty) and is safe for use in miniature horses and ponies.

February/March-Pyrantel Pamoate (Strongid)

April/May-Ivermectin/Praziquantel combination (Equimax)

June/July-Fenbendazole (Panacur or Safeguard)

August/September-Double dose Pyrantel Pamoate (Strongid)

October/November-Ivermectin/Praziquantel combination (Equimax)

**Remember to read the active ingredient. For example fenbendazole is the active ingredient in Panacur and Safeguard.

2. Daily Deworming Protocol

Deworm January and July with Ivermectin/Praziquantel combination (Equimax) and keep horse on a daily dewormer, pyrantel pamoate (Strongid-C 2x). If you choose this protocol, we recommend enrolling in the Preventicare Program offered by Pfizer. 

Note* Before starting the continuous deworming program, deworm with Quest or a Panacur Power Pac.
