Product snapshot

The active ingredient, fenbendazole at 1.96%, is delivered through a palatable apple-flavored pellet, making it a practical option for routine deworming routines.

Key benefits

• Palatable, apple-flavored pellet formula that makes deworming easier for horses that dislike pastes or liquids.
• One 5-ounce packet treats horses up to 1,250 lbs, helping with meal-time planning and dosing consistency.
• Controls large strongyles, small strongyles, pinworms, and ascarids when used as directed.
• Approved for horses of all ages, including foals, broodmares at any stage of pregnancy or lactation, and breeding stallions.
• Compare to the active ingredient in Safe-Guard Equine Dewormer and Panacur Equine Dewormer, offering a familiar option for parasite management.

Real-world use and considerations

In busy stables, a tasty pellet can simplify daily deworming while fitting into existing feeding routines. The apple aroma and crunchy texture provide sensory cues that some horses respond to positively, which may help reduce stress during medicated feed days. The 5-ounce package is compact for shipping, storage, and on-farm stocking, and its labeling supports use across a diverse herd—from foals to mature stallions.

For best results, plan parasite management as part of a broader program and follow the product label directions. This option is designed to be used as part of a regular deworming strategy, with considerations for age, pregnancy status, and breeding needs as outlined on the packaging. Remember that individual horse responses can vary, and ongoing discussions with your veterinarian can help tailor a plan to your herd’s pressures.

Usage notes

• Follow label directions and coordinate with a veterinarian as part of an overall parasite management plan.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
