Different mode of action is what makes SAFE-GUARD® (fenbendazole) so effective against the most dangerous parasites of the horse.

  • Safe for pregnant mares and stallions

  • 5.0 grams per kilogram fenbendazole (2.27 grams per pound)

1.25 lb.

5/5

I’m not going to lie, I’m paying a little more but it’s worth the convenience! It’s also less here than other places I’ve seen. I have 1 mare that fights me with the paste every single time. I can’t even let her see the tube in my hand! But the pellets, they both eat right up without a clue!
