Oh, and do you notice "more" shine after using it then you get from the other wormers? or is that my imagination:)

I've always gotten the impression from vets, that it is not one of their favorites, that one and safeguard. I think it's because from so much frequent use, probably because those are the cheaper ones, that vets feel worms are to immune to them.

Personally I don't like safe guard at all. I see no change in the horses when I use it, no shedding, no shine.

I haven't really noticed a difference in coat condition, but I just may not be paying attention. I'll have to do that the next time I use it. Here lately I've been using ivermectin exclusively coz it's been on sale for SO cheap (less than $4 a tube), but I know I need to go back to my rotation.

I used to include Quest in my rotation too, but my vet said he didn't use it or sell it any more and didn't recommend it. He said he'd done post mortems on several horses who had been on it (they died of other causes) and found them to FULL of worms. And it's supposed to be BETTER than ivermectin. So go figure.
