Alternative Methods for Deworming a Horse Naturally

Updated June 25, 2024

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. Dr. Gray talks about the difference between FDA-approved medications and natural, organic, or herbal dewormers. She explains why one is better than the other as well as some ingredients that claim to control parasites.

Dr. Gray also refers to AAEP Parasite Control Guidelines that may be of interest to some people looking for alternative remedies.
