Small strongyles are the #1 parasite in horses. These dangerous invaders are able to “encyst” or encapsulate in the horse’s intestine, living inside a walled-off structure and resist ivermectin dewormers. Only QUEST can penetrate this structure and kill deadly encysted small strongyles in one dose. And that’s just one more reason to make QUEST your clear choice for parasite control.
