worming

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good wormer for my pup? He has his last injection this week so i'm sure the vet will advise, but I was wondering what everyone else is using?

Thanks x

Re: worming

we use drontal mainly because thats what he was given at the vets. I dont know if its the best But i know shop brought ones arent as good if the dog already has worms

I agree Drontal is a very good wormer and one that the vets use but can also be bought online cheaper. Here's a couple of links to sites i get mine from.

Vet UK: Selling Drontal, Frontline, Feliway, DAP, Hills, Royal Canin for less.

Re: worming

I use panacur 10% suspension for young pups and drontal for the adults and older pups. I get mine from canine chemist online as it is cheaper than at the vets.

Re: worming

Drontal tackles the main wormes present in the uk- tapeworm and roundworm as well as whipworm and hookworm. It is non prescription and can be given to puppies from 8 weeks. 1 tablet to be given per 10kg bodyweight every three months so easy to remember.

Panacur tackles Tapeworm and Roundworm and also tackles Lungworm which is a problem in some areas of the uk. Your vet would have informed you if it was a problem in your area. Panacur has the option of giving in paste, granule or liquid format. Again it is non prescription.

Milbemax tackles all worms except lungworm. It is required if you are planning to take your pet abroad or for treating for heartworm. It is prescription only so must be obtained from the vet or on prescription.

All availiable at http://www.petdrugsonline.co.uk
