Annual Worming Programme

Overwhelmed by worming?

Let Equus take the hassle out of when to worm, what to use and if worming your horse is even necessary!

Our worming packages have been developed to meet your horse’s individual needs – avoiding unnecessary worming which will reduce the risk of your horse developing resistance to some wormers and could also save you money. Each pack includes the necessary tests for one horse to be covered for a whole year!

4 x sample bags for faecal worm egg counts (FWEC)

1 x EquiSal saliva kit (Tapeworm test)

4 x submission forms detailing when samples should be taken throughout the year (one for each sample you send back to us)

Simply collect your horse’s sample following the procedure on the form and return to one of our surgeries for testing. One of our vets will then report the results to you and tailor make a worming plan to suit your horse.

Postal and non postal packages available
