Deworming Guides

Deworming your Horses
Routine Fecal Egg Counts are a vital part of a well managed de-worming program. Fecals should be collected an appropriate amount of time after the last de-wormer has been administered. This period of time varies with the de-wormer used. Please see the table below to determine the appropriate time to take a sample. We recommend collecting a fresh sample just before de-worming. You can bring the fecal sample into our clinic and it will be processed at our in-house lab. Fecal samples need to be brought to the clinic same day as collected and labeled with your horse's name. We do not accept fecal samples Fridays after noon.
There are many de-wormers out there with many different main ingredients. Here is a table that groups the brand names of common de-wormers by their main ingredient.
