Deworming Rotation

Parasites

Parasite prevention is imperative to your horses' well being. Perform the proper fecal tests to determine what parasites are present. It is wise to treat at the beginning of the grazing season. Treat for bots and tapeworms at least once a year. Rotate between active ingredients. Dose according to weight and ask your vet any questions that may arise.
