Here's why:
* Dosage: Strongid is formulated for horses, which are much larger than dogs. The dosage for a horse is significantly higher than what is safe for a dog. Giving a dog horse dewormer can lead to serious health complications, including poisoning.
* Ingredients: The active ingredients in Strongid are not the same as those found in dog dewormers. Some ingredients in Strongid can be toxic to dogs.
Always consult with a veterinarian before giving any medication to your dog. They can provide the appropriate dewormer for your dog's specific needs and weight.
If you suspect your dog has ingested Strongid, contact your veterinarian or animal poison control immediately.
