Increased parasitic resistance to commonly over-used dewormers has lead to a complete change in approach. Many veterinarians, including myself, are encouraging our clients to have fecal testing done and use dewormers more sparingly. This is much more cost effective for you.

Quest+ – 1 Tube (11.6gm) |

This is a tube of moxidectin and praziquantel. It contains a super effective moxidectin compound, a newer compound related to ivermectin, that will kill even the encysted stages of small strongiles in the gut wall. Ivermectin will not do this.

It prevents migration of large stronglye (strongylus vulgaris) larve. If you use this product, you will also need to deworm in the spring and fall with specific paste wormers.
