I use the zimectrin paste but you do have to be careful. The concentration of ivermectin is higher than that of Interceptor and other dog products, so it's not as simple as a weight/volume conversion. Also, like Lin said the zimectrin paste is meant to be given all at once. I actually squeeze it all out and mix it. There's a lot leftover but it's still cheaper to use one tube (and toss the rest) each month for $7 total than $6 per Interceptor pill per dog.

Lin where do you get the 1% ivomec? Is that a shot or what? I would like something I can do myself with a more dog-accurate concentration and not have to throw so much away each month.
