East Valley Equine Practitioners are committed to providing our clients with the best preventative care, resulting in healthier horses all year long.  Pfizer, the makers of Strongid C, offers an excellent program that we feel would benefit our patients.  The PreventiCare program, in a nutshell, combines routine maintenance, which many of you already request, with an excellent deworming program that keeps the intestinal tract healthy.  Unlike other deworming protocols that kill off adults that have developed since the last deworming, Strongid C daily dewormer will keep the intestinal tract healthier by killing the worms that are developing every day.  It also eliminates the task of remembering to deworm. Since Strongid C is mixed in the horse’s feed, the typical deworming rodeo is avoided.  In addition to a healthier intestinal tract, the PreventiCare program combines a yearly physical exam and dental consultation with our recommended vaccines.  In order to show that Pfizer believes their product will make your horse healthier, they will reimburse an owner up to $5000 if it has to go to colic surgery!  We believe this is an excellent program for many of our patients and would like to go over more of the details with you.
