Using Safe-Guard as a Power Dose

Safe-Guard paste can also be used as a "Power Dose" (one 25 gram syringe per 550 lbs/day for 5 consecutive days) to kill all stages of encysted small strongyles including EL3 and LL3/L4 which comprises 75% and 25% respectively of the encysted small strongyles load.

These encysted small strongyles are believed by many researchers to be the most damaging of all internal parasites, and horse owners can count on Safe-Guard to effectively combat these dangerous parasites.

Unlike products like Strongid® C 2X™ which have limited or no effect on the various stages of encysted small strongyle larvae, Safe-Guard offers complete protection.

In fact, the Safe-Guard Power Dose is the ideal companion product for all Strongid® C 2X™ users as the Strongid® C 2X™ label indicates horse owners should administer a larvicidal treatment prior to initiating any Strongid® C 2X™ program.

Ideally, you should use Safe-Guard Paste to treat encysted small strongyles when pastures are dormant. Use the Safe-Guard Power Dose by administering one 25 gm syringe per 550 lbs/day for 5 consecutive days.
