For Optimum Parasite Protection,
READ THE LABEL!

• Broad Spectrum Control
  Some dewormers target only a half dozen parasites, while others are much more effective against a broader range. Look carefully and see what your dewormer controls.

• Bots
  Some dewormers don't have a label claim against bots. Look for "boticide" on the label.

• Age Restrictions
  Young foals are especially susceptible to certain parasites, such as roundworms and intestinal threadworms (strongyloides westeri). To treat, look for dewormers labeled safe for foals without age restrictions.

• Frequency
  Read the label. Most dewormers call for reapplication every 6 to 8 weeks. Some claim longer effectiveness for one or two parasites. For complete protection, you need to treat for all parasites.

• Dosage
  For effective parasite control, it is important to provide the proper dose for your horse's weight. Depending on the product, a single dose syringe may treat anywhere from 1,100 to 1,250 lbs. Read the label and make sure you know how to set the syringe for the correct dose.
