I use the Ivomec 1% from Tractor supply. Do you have statistics or a link to back this up on the sensitivity to GSD's?

We had a thorough discussion about various treatment/preventative options before beginning this path.... but we've been using this method for 12 years and have not had a dog test positive since. Even had one rescue (black lab) who tested positive at adoption, treated with the ivermec paste and tested negative a year later and each year after. One thing we do do is measure out exactly the amount they should recieve, since my pea size is not the same as my husband's pea size, so pea size is a relative term.
