Worming

Hi we worm our dogs every 3 months we have always done it like this.Is it actually every 3 or should it be shorter or longer than this

My vet recommends monthly from 8 weeks until 6 months & then every 3 months. So that's what I do!

I will purchase some panacur paste tomorow.

The trouble with panacur is (I think) that some types are only for roundworms - I could well be wrong here. Check carefully to see that it covers everything you need.

I use the ones from my vets cause they cover roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms & help prevent infection by lungworm (very important if your dog is anywhere near slugs/snails). Dempsey, at 31 kilos needs 2 worming tablets at £5 each.

Moo is every 3 months, also 2 tablets and I use drontal (I think)

Can we just pop in to vet and purchase these tablets over counter caryll or do we have to see the vet. our vet charge 26 pounds just for a consulation.We can weigh the dogs at home and take in the weights of them with us.So that they get the right dose per dog

What are the name of these tablets caryll

A friend of mine uses drontal for her 2 dogs she has a german sheperd and A akita she she has always used drontal and she swears it the best worming tablets you can buy.

All vets should have a weighing machine in the waiting room (or one you can use whenever you want) and I just weigh Dempsey & then ask for the wormers at the reception.

I honestly can't remember! I use the vet's ones cause at least then I know that they cover everything I want. I don't trust myself to get it right just by reading the box! If you tell the receptionist that you want them to cover roundworm/tapeworm/lungworm, then they'll give you the right one. It's possible that you could get them cheaper on line, but I can't be bothered with the fuss!
