worming issues
Always the same no matter what wormer I use my two vomit 6 or 7 hours later. Its heartbreaking as they act like they have done something wrong and laska visibly shakes bless her. I spend twice as much time reassuring them its okay as I do cleaning up the vomit. This time was drontal + but they do same on milibax and anything else ive tried. Reading up im sure they would have ingested enough to do the job but I hate the fact im making my dogs sick every three months and seeing them mope around acting like they are the worst dogs in the world doesnt help. They are quite sensitive emotionaly as well as there tums so if anyone has any suggestions for a broad spectrum wormer for sensitive dogs im all ears

Re: worming issues
I like to be as chemical free as possible but always saw worming as a necessity. Especially as they are active outdoor dogs and often have a slurp out of stagnent pools of water. But any advice greatly welcome. for rufty tufty dogs they have very sensitive stomaches and have to be so carefull with them

Re: worming issues
Drontal is supposed to be one of the best although there exclusivity licence ran out a couple of years back so others can now copy it. Cestem is one such wormer which is exactly the same and not only is it cheaper per tab you can get 4 for 3 at the moment as well mate

I use Advocate for dogs between 10-25kg which the vet gives me. It's a drop for the back of the neck and kills fleas and worms.

Re: worming issues
Rocky also has Drontal + and has always been Ok with it, do you give the tablet with food or just on it's own ? We give Rockys in with some cheese.
