My collie must be different!  As mentioned they 'clean up' after the
horses.  But I have had NO problems with Zimecterin given to either to
horses or my dogs which are also a St Bernard and a Great Pyrennees.  But I
don't think I will use the Quest until more info is out.

Dogs eat horse manure for several reasons--one being that it is high in
protein, and one being that contact with the prey species manure helps to
disguise the predator's scent, so this is an old instinct.

Regarding the Quest and dogs, as Quest is an ivermectin relative, I would
be
suspicious that there are breeds that are more susceptible, namely any
collie
breeds.  They can't take any of the canine ivermectin products, either.
