In this Ask the Vet video, Dr. Gray and SmartPaker Dan respond to a question about herbal dewormers for horses as opposed to “commercial chemical” dewormers.

She explains why one is better than the other as well as some ingredients that claim to control parasites. She also refers to AAEP Parasite Control Guidelines that may be of interest to some people looking for alternative remedies.
