CAUTION! - Dogs
CAUTION!!
Be especially careful when using Ivermectin which is toxic to dogs and particularly is not well tolerated by Collies, Old English Sheep Dogs and their related breeds and crosses.
All worming drugs are essentially poisons. Most are dangerous to aquatic life and will have a negative effect on dung beetles and other microorganisms. To prevent contamination simply bring the horse onto a surfaced area to administer the wormer, then it can be easily cleaned off if a slip happens or the horse spits out some wormer. Dispose of packaging carefully and preferably in a bin with a lid.
