I didn't on this shipment.  I'm not sure what the limit is on duty
costs now.  Maybe they think I've paid enough over the years ;)...

Excellent!  Good to know.

Hi Wanda,

yes, what about customs, shipping to Canada? Jeffer's ships without
asking questions? Do you have to pay extra taxes/duty when you pick up
the shipment?

As for rotating wormers, asking the vet will usually tell you what is
the current thought on it as far as avoiding drug resistance to worms.
But beside from that, please note that Moxidectin and Ivermectin
belong to the same drug class (Macrocylic Lactones)and therefore it is
not a true drug rotation. You would have to go to one of the other
products/classes (Pyrantels or Benzimidazoles). I don't have time at
the moment to look up my files about all  the available brandnames,
sorry. But I do deworm once a year, usually in the fall with one of
the wormers that also has Praziquantel in it, which targets tapeworms.
