wen should kuma get worming tablets or anything?

since her jag's when we 1st got her av not had to get any boosters.. or worming just wondering if a need to or will ano when she's needing them..?

i deworm my once every 6 months, i'm not sure about booster

Moo has a booster once a year, and worming, I use drontal and its every 3 months also flea treatment I use Advocate and its once a month x

hmm think a need get my finger out .. defo need get summit to stop flees shes clean but ye never no . and defo need deworm her asap z

Get on the case hun, it's not cheap but its better in the long run! She maybe clean but its other animals too x

im the same as janey worming every 3months and advocate every month and booster every year(iv acctuly paid for boosters for life)

I think the advice nowadays is worming every month until 6 months & then every 3 months afterwards. I only deflea if I think there's a problem cause I don't like to use too many chemicals & the annual booster & worming is quite enough to be getting on with. Every couple of days I check for ticks as well, just in case, though I've never actually found one.

Drontal is the best wormer to use as it does for tapeworms and roundworms. It can be bought over the couter or you can check out www.vetmedic.co.uk you can usually get them cheaper off there. Other wormers (especially the kind you can get in supermarkets and off the shelf) have a very high resistance and quite often don't contain any active ingredients (praziquantel, pyrantel). Adult dogs should ideally be wormed every 3 months.
Hope this helps

you can give her the booster injections when shes 12 months old, and worm her straight away and then every 3 months after that, i wouldn't worm her every month cause these worm parasites will build up a Resistance to the worm formula, then you will have to give your dog higher strength which can make your dog sick and queasy,

the one you use every month is for lung and heart worm and the parisitesw cant get a resistance as they are totally aradicatied before they settle

i was talking about the four most common internal parasites that may effect a dog, roundworms, hookworms, whip worms, and tapeworms

Yep same here, they need boosters once a year and depending on what brand of wormer u use depends on the frequency, my 2 get them every 3 months- giving them to them is so much fun NOT lol.

got to say memphis takes his wormer with no prob atall

We don't get heart worm in the UK, unless a dog has gone abroad & picked it up (I think I'm right there) so we don't need to use it here. Lung worm can be treated with the other worms every 3 months.

heart worm has apparently been intraduced into england through the link with france so iv been told

as long as it stays over there and dont come here im not too worried about it

heart worm infestations in dogs are passed on by misquotes

Ditto to all of the above lol

Mrs works in asda would any asda dog worming brands be alright or do they all do the same job?

i heard booster can sometime kill your dog.... not a fact just what i heard..

No, this is a false rumour. Dogs travelling to the UK have to have been treated for heartworm under the pet passport scheme.

you be better off getting the proper ones from the vets sean, e.g. drontal or parazol, i found these very good

Flee replant..? got stuff , puppy flea repel spot on..? the wee things are tiny a take it you just put some on her back as such and that's it it don't say on it what todo lol !!

It should say on the leaflet with it. If I remember right, you squeeze it on the base of the neck, between the shoulder blades, but you have to make sure you part the hair properly & it goes on to her skin.

yeah put it on the back of her neck so she cant lick it off, just run your hand along her neck towards her head and put the spot on liquid on her skin

great cheers, and do this once a month ye ?

I only use flea stuff if I think there are fleas present. It's a strong chemical & if it's not needed, why use it?

The wormers are different. They should be used every 3 months because some of them can and do affect humans, especially children, and can severely damage your dog's health.
