Good product. More economical than buying at the local farm supply.

I’ve used this for years on my dogs. Based on accurate body weight. Never have any of my dogs got heart worms. Vets are pricing themselves out of the market.

Combo wormer is the only way to go.
Amazon Customer –
Zemectrin is always a good brand. I alternate so I make sure I get a good outcome. The quality is great and I’ve never had a horse colic or present side affects from this even when accidentally giving more than necessary. Price is good. My horses do not fight me on this so taste must not be to bad.

I couldn’t ask for a better product!

I use this product 1-2 times a year based on a McMaster’s Fecal Egg Count (FEC) on my horse. If he has a significant load of strongyles and/or tapes I will administer this.
As a veterinarian I have seen WAY too much over medication and over-deworming of all species. We are seeing resistance to dewormers because rotational dewormer was so popular for so long! You should only deworm if the animal has a significant parasite load! You want a low level of susceptible parasites to exist, if you over-deworm you will select for only resistant parasites to be present, and to be shed into the pasture/environment for other animals to also acquire. Please only deworm based on fecal results and clinical picture. I have watched too many small ruminant and camelid patients die from parasite related anemia and disease because there were no more dewormers left to try- nothing worked! Pasture management and fecal diagnostics is key!
This product can be purchased much cheaper in some stores and other online retailers but you are obviously getting the convenience of prime shipping here.
