Yes it is possible ive looked it up on Google , dogs eat the slugs who have in turn eaten the parasite off dog or fox poo that is infected with the worm ,Dont use slug pellets though they are highly toxic to dogs , , i would sudgest you pop out into the gardne in the evening and with a torch find as many as possible and collect them up i would just pop them into a bag and tie it up and pop in the bin , or flush them down the loo. Salt will kill them if you know where in your garden they are most common sprinkle salt on the soil , you can get other forms of slug catcher some use beer in a container and they drown them selves ( guess its a merry death ). On the food , i would make sure you have enough of the hills to see you over the next few weeks wait for his results and go from there , if it suits him though and your vet says its ok you could keep him on it for a while to be sure and then any future change must be done very gradual over a week or 10 days to ensure no trouble again , Look into a food called Pero i used to give it to my labs before going raw the lab food is hypoallegenic and is based on rice and salmon it is a good food and ethically moral as the company that makes it does not support anial testing and they are indipendant , Lots of popular dog foods are made by one or two companys such as Mars and proctor and gamble , they advocate animal testing and the foods they produce leave a lot to be desired from a nutritional point . Google pero they are based in wales a 15 kg bag is £30 it will last about 4-5 weeks for 1 dog about tysons size they deliver free usually within 3 days of ordering , it doesnt contain the nasty preservatives ect that long term can cause damage to our dogs . They do have food in some shops such as pets at home ect but the Lab one isnt as yet in stores but its no hassel to order online .

Hi,thanks for the reply, im a bit worried. The vet never told me what to do when the hills i/d runs out and i have to wait 5 days for the results back from dog trust on the poo, should i carry on with the euka i was giving him before, or do i have to keep him on hills??. Is that true they can get lung worms from slugs??? thanks

Hi, thanks for all the advice for Tyson, the vet has given me Hills i/d. I said abt raw meat and she didnt look happy, time will tell. thanks again. How do you get pictures of your dogs on here?, sorry its all new to me. hahah

If you're feeding too much yeah lol. Just keep an eye on it and reduce the quantites if she keeps gaining. Every dogs an individual so the 2-3% guide is literally only a guide.
