Cost wise, Quest is supposed to be dosed at 3 month intervals vs. 2 months,
so the argument may be made that it's less expensive than the ivermectin
regimen.

But the Quest itself is a safety issue.  When it gets to the point that the
conventional vet advises against a product as my vet did, the threat seems
more real to me.  I was advised to do the Panacur purge in lieu of Quest to
get the encysted small strongyles.  Yep, more expensive by at least 3X and a
pain in the behind to dose 5 days in a row, but better safe than sorry.

I have only used Quest once, without any incident on my 3 horses.
However,
at $14/tube and not finding any significant benefit, I have not added it
to
my worming routine mainly because there is no added benefit for the
added
cost.
