Trust the vet for the wormer , we use Milbemax (from the vet ) as it helps prevent lungworm. Use flea treatment only if you need to (again speak to your vet) Tilly just had a course of frontline .
Grunting, snoring and farting is very normal

Well your gonna need 2 sets of jabs, worming is dependent on the vets, I use drontal and buy online and flea treatment was advocate every month. Moo was 10mnhs ish when I got her.

Now I worm with drontal every 3 mnths, and I don't use a flea treatment as from advice here, unless needed why give it.

Moo had 3 homes before me, one of the reasons was she made a funny noise!!! Laughing

thanks for replies, and awww bout Moo and her funny noises, some people give pets away for some very simple reasons, must say Crystal comes out with some strange noises to, my kids call her crystal moo pig cos she as faint black marks under her white fur hence moo and like mentioned grunts very loudly, Think I may buy stuff myself , just making sure i am doing right by the dog, not had a dog for a while, so just getting back into the swing of things.

Staffs are very vocal, also extremely loyal, clever and rather loving Smile

If you buy wormers yourself, make sure they're good ones & not Bob Martins or similar!

I use Milbemax which I get from the vets - two tablets (Dempsey weighs about 30 kilos) every 3 months. Pricey (about £10), but they work.

reconsidered, maybe best to ask my vet bout milbemax, don't mind bout the cost cos they need to be wormed properly, and kept healthy, that ay I can get her weight checked properly, I am fortunate to have a good vets a nice walk away from me, so will be no problem going for worming treatment there.
