This schedule is a very basic dewormer rotation program. If you suspect your horses may have tapeworms or would like a dewormer program customized to your region or conditions, consult your veterinarian for a course of treatment.
If you need a daily dewormer, such as Strongid C 2X, be aware that it is not effective against bots, so you should deworm once in the fall and once in the spring using 1.87% equine ivermectin paste dewormer to control bot infestations.
