Strongid Paste is an equine wormer that removes and controls most common and damaging internal parasites including bloodworms, small strongyles, pinworms, and large roundworms.
For: Horses and foals (over 2 months of age)
Benefits:
•
Easy to administer

How it works: The active ingredient pyrantel pamoate acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, thereby causing sudden muscular contraction, followed by paralysis of the parasite. The parasite loses its grip on the intestinal wall and passes out of the system naturally.
Cautions: Use with caution in severely debilitated animals.

My vet, actually prescribed nemex (pyrantel pamoate) for my 3 month old kitten Rex so I'm sure it's ok to use for cats. The dosage will obviously be different, but it worked great for us... = )
I went to the Vet today and the Dr. used Strongid to deworm my 2 kittens. Yes the same Strongid used on horses. So I think it is ok to use on dogs as well.

I was told by my vet that you can use this on cats and dogs you just have to adjust the dosage. I would ask your vet to make sure they feel comfortable with you using it for your dog. I used it with my cat and she is fine.
No, sorry. I know a great dane can feel like a horse sometimes, but it is infact, not a horse. This medication is strictly for horses and may make your dog very sick.
