Sample Rotational Deworming Schedule

Month	Dewormer	Notes
Jan/Feb	Panacur (fenbendazole)	This is a good time to give a Panacur PowerPac while environmental parasites are low (these can be purchased through Kern Road Vet or other suppliers).
March/April	Strongid (pyrantal)
May/June	Ivermectin or Equimax/Zimectrin Gold (ivermectin + praziquantal)	Be sure to use something with praziquantal at least once a year to eliminate tapeworms
July/Aug	Panacur (fenbendazole)
Sept/Oct	Strongid (pyrantal)	A double dose of strongid can also eliminate tapeworms
Nov/Dec	Ivermectin or Equimax/Zimectrin Gold (ivermectin + praziquantal)	Give after the 1st hard, killing frost to eliminate bots.

This schedule is only a guideline. Different dewormers can be used at different times; the rotation of ingredients is what is important. The Nov/Dec deworming is the only one that should not be changed, due to the limited window of opportunity to kill bots.
