Alfalfa based wormer
Makes a good rotational wormer along with Ivermectin.
Easiest product to administer!
Being disabled, I no longer have the speed or agility required to worm my smart, finicky horses. They can smell the syringe wormers long before I make my appearance! I just mix this product in with a little of their supplements or sweet feed. I have happy, healthy, parasite free critters!
Safe-Guard 0.5% Alfalfa Multi-Species Pellets
We run a horse rescue, & Sanctuary. (Bounds Horse Haven Sanctuary)So we have all kinds of horses come through here. I have never had ANY horse curl their lip up at this de-wormer. It is easy, and simple to use. Just mix it with their grain, you are done! They eat it up! They ALL seem to love it! It is a lot cheaper than the equi-bits specifically for horses. This is a multi-species, de-wormer. When worming 30 plus horses, you can't beat the price. The tube wormers, are just a fight to try to use on some horses. But this is an all around excellent choice for keeping a horse healthy, and happy! I would recommend this product, to any horse owner.

Does it come with a measurement scooper? or do we need a scale to figure out the 2270mgs?
A shopper
on Mar 4, 2015
BEST ANSWER: There is no scoop - this product is fed by weight. A scale would be a good idea for accuracy. This dewormer is fed on a single day in place of the animal's grain ration. A pound contains 0.5% Fenbendazole and is designed to treat a 1000 lb animal. If the animal's weight is 500 lbs then half a pound should be fed; likewise, if the animal's weight is 1200 lbs then 1.2 lbs should be fed.

I think they are saying 1 bag of this product per 1,000 lb horse, if your horse is over 1000 lbs say 1200lbs then one bag and a quarter of another bag should be fed

can this be used for horses?

I've used it for horses with no issues. There is dosage information printed on the package for all kinds of livestock.
Yes. Works very well. Had a few that it upset their stomach but no all out colic. They just refused a meal.
Yes, it's all species. Safest wormer there is and they eat it up. I use it for my llamas too.
We would recommend the Safe-Guard Equi-Bits -- they are specifically formulated for horses:
Safe-Guard Equi-Bits2.27g Fenbendazole Pellets
yes of course. and I love how easy it makes worming!
Yes you can. I use it on both of my horses.

So i have been looking at this product for a while now, bought it at my local feed store a few yrs back for beef steers had just got to raise up. The cattle guy i got my steers from was not to trust worthy on health care so as a precaution i would de lice and worm them just for safe measure and used this product on them and they ate it up without taking a second glance. Want to really invest in this product as i run a small livestock farm. and have done as much research as i can to find either this multi species or something more specific. So my question is if this a multi species and works for cattle, goats and horses, would it be safe for sheep as well or can sheep be wormed with a feed through wormer ? have been racking my brain on this for sometime and don't really want take the leap and be the first to experiment if has not been tested on them yet, as if the risk is to great. This yr hasnt been a good one for my flock.
BEST ANSWER: This product is rated for cattle only. To find out about use on other species, we would have to refer you directly to the Manufacturer: www.merck.com or phone 1-800-521-5767.

According to U of Rhode Island Agency, Safeguard is not approved for sheep but dose is .6ml per 25 lbs or 5mg/kg. That is the liquid goat drench so not sure about the pellets.
Safeguard has been used on sheep. The dose is 5mg/kg. I suggest going fecals test to determine exactly what you are dealing with.
I would call the manufacture to get that answer. I have only used it on horse and cattle.

Is this safe for rabbits? How often, what's the dosage if necessary. Thank you
BEST ANSWER: ive never used it on rabbits, actually ive never heard of anyone worming rabbits, you might need to ask a vet for a better answer, i would think that if you adjust the dose for the weight of the rabbit , then there shouldnt be a problem, 1 bag is meant for a 1250 lb horse, so i would go from there, maybe a few pellets at most

I don't know. I ordered my wormer back in November and I never received it. Fed X claims they left it in my porch, however that is not true. To date horse.com has been unwilling to resolve this issue. I have drafts horses so had ordered $140 worth of wormer ??
Safeguard is safe for rabbits. However, I do not know the dose of the pelleted version. Your veterinarian may be able to give you an answer.

does it work on bots?
BEST ANSWER: No. Fenbendazole doesnt work on bots. Something with ivermectin is your best bet. If your horse is hard to worm, you might try giving them treats like applesauce or jelly in a big syringe. Once they get used to that, sneak in the wormer. I learned that trick from Clinton Anderson.
Thank you so much. sherry
