Location: Crazy House | Has anyone tried the Safe-Guard (fenbenazole) de-wormer pellets? Good results? Bad results? Any info would be helpful. I havent tried them yet but thinking about it. |

| The goat dewormer is the exact same product. I think its 2.3 cc per 100 pound of weight. Pull it in a syringe, and drizzle it on what you are feeding the horse already. I do it all the time. Compare the labels. |

Location: Tex. Panhandle | We use it on ours when it comes to that rotation. My mare LOVES the pellets, she is a pain when it comes to paste wormer. All ours have eaten the pellets with no problem |

Location: Oklahoma | This may sound like a broken record, but a horse who is horrible about dewormer would benefit (as well as the owner) from a fecal. You may find dewormer isn't necessary or needs deworming far less often than what you are currently doing.
As for the pellets . . . I tried them once and had too many spit the pellets out or refuse to eat them.
You could make a mash and put the dewormer in it, along with molasses. I know one farm who uses dewormer sandwiches - peanut butter sandwiches that have the dose of dewormer in them :) |
