Lungworm risk

Hope you don't mind me pasting a link to this website. Having a real problem keeping my dog away from slugs/snails in the garden and currently trying to find out what to use to kill the slugs that will be safe to put down.

I just looked at the amazon website, this slug repellent is pet friendly and is highly recommended:

Have to admit I picked up all the slugs and snails in the garden, put them in a bag and took them to the park.

We've got a real bad problem with slugs too, they're a pain in the ar*e! I have to clean them up first thing in the morning before I let Zeus out.

I think I might try the product that Kathy's just put up but the bottom line is, you'll always have to go out and clear them up.

I've sprinkled salt all over them at the moment - just worried that he will eat one and get lungworm

I have buster pointing them out and barking at them lol they are sooooo scary once he points them out I just put them in the alley way next to our fence

I have quite a big garden with lots of bushes and trees, there's not a chance I could go pick every single one up before letting the dog out.

I also get foxes in my garden, which are also known to spread lungworm.

A dog could very easily quickly eat slug/snail whilst out on a walk.

I think it's best to treat the dog against lungworm, but I'm unsure of treatment, only one I know is advocate.

Anyone else know of a treatment?

Apparantly the worming tablets I give Zeus cover lungworm.. Milbemax? I haven't looked into it properly though
