How to Deworm

As treatment doses are based on the weight of the animal, use a scale or weight tape to determine each animal's weight before treating. Once an accurate weight is known, treat each horse or pony with Strongid Paste as follows:

1. Adjust the ring to your animal’s weight and lock into place.
2. Make sure there is no feed in the animal’s mouth.
3. Remove the cap from the end of the syringe. Save the cap for reuse.
4. Place the tip of the syringe inside the animal’s mouth at the space between the teeth.
5. Gently push the plunger until it stops, depositing the paste on the back of the tongue.
6. Remove the syringe from the animal’s mouth and raise the animal’s head slightly to make sure he swallows the paste.
7. Replace the syringe cap.
