What wormer do you all use please and have your dogs had any nasty side effects? The Vet has given me Milbemax and I'm unsure about using it as we are going on holiday at the weekend and I don't want a poorly boy.

Wendy I'm confused myself now. Unless my vet knows something that we don't it seems I could give her only the advocate. Maybe somebody else knows more?

Lungworm is the one they are hot on at the moment because it's so deadly

Both crenosoma and angiostrongylus are lungworms and the other unpronouncables are for mange, ear mites and another skin mite. So, it seems that the tapeworm is the one that's missing.

And just found this about tapeworm: Unlike roundworms, dogs cannot become infected by eating fertilized tapeworm eggs. Tapeworms must first pass through an intermediate host (a flea) before they can infect a dog.
So maybe my friend's right, as using Advocate will prevent flea infestation anyway). Food (yuk!) for thought.

I use milbemax, it does cover all worms but they cant say so because it hasnt undergone testing even though its the same ingredients Rolling Eyes no side effects either except my ex's boy shites through the eye of a needles unless he get a liquid wormer from the vets. he can eat anything usually while both mine have very sensitive tums.
