Equimax horse wormer vs Safeguard
Has anyone ever used the Equimax horse paste? If so, would you use the same doses as Safeguard paste (3ccs for 3 consecutive days)? Which in your opinion is better?

Yes, I would agree with Vicki. I could explain a little about this, but this site surely says it all. I suggest you go there. It explains worms, etc. and gives all doses.

I hope this helps.

wormers
There is a lot of information available here:
( http://www.marvistavet.com )
as well as the beaglesunlimited site, and they state, they are not vets, but long time owners & this system has worked for them...I would like to add that the alternating the TYPE of wormer is very important.
I've been a long time breeder, using ivomec for heartworms, and safeguard for the worms. Recently discovered round worms which should have been covered with the 'regular' program, but seemingly, they can build immunity to it. I now swap out the fenbendazole with pyrantel pamoate and three time a year drop into the routine valbazen.
Just my 2 cents

We are beginning to see more and more intestinal parasite resistance to many dewormers. Not at all a bad idea to have your vet run a couple representative fecals on different dogs from your kennel once or twice a year to make sure what you are using is working.
Equimax contains ivermectin and praziquantel. Praziquantel is for tapeworms...same ingredient as in Droncit. I suppose someone could safely calculate a dose of it for dogs, but it would be a pain to deal with. I still recommend an ivermectin product for heartworms, panacur 3 days in a row quarterly for whips, hooks and rounds, and then pyrantel monthly for hooks and rounds. Dog food, good food anyway, is to expensive to feed to "wormy" dogs!
