I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding Safeguard for goats. I currently am using the cattle line of Safeguard and have been hearing about others using the goat wormer. Can anyone give me the measurements per pound for a dog and any other dosage information available? any information regarding this will be greatly appreciated. Like, what kind of worms it will remove. Thanks!

The smallest it goes down to is 25 lb. and it getts .06 ml. and it goes up to 125 lb. So with the guide on the bottle and a calculator you should be able to get about any dose figured.

Thanks Oak Ridge. Great article BTW.

We already buy SafeGuard and Ivomec to use on our alpacas. Switched from Heartgard to ivomec for heartworms several years ago because of the cost.
Usually worm with Pyrantel pomeate now, but it takes the whole bottle each time at $16 a bottle. Will start using the SafeGuard now.
