Milbemax, Drontal or other Wormer? Side effects?

What wormer do you all use please and have your dogs had any nasty side effects? The Vet has given me Milbemax and I'm unsure about using it as we are going on holiday at the weekend and I don't want a poorly boy.

Never had any side effects from Milbemax.

We use milbemax and never had an issue at all.

Gave peppa yesterday drontalplus and advocate she had 1 bad diharria  yesterday and today was sick twice but it might be cause she nicked my falafel .

Ohhh no!!...but yum falafel

Friend with retriever only gives him advocate, she says it includes all the worm and flea treatments. Any thoughts on this ?

I give advocate for flea spot on treatment and then milbemax chewable working tablet

I give her advocate although in 10,5 months I find only 1! Flea  and that was a day after we took her cause the advocate covers her from lung wArm . Drontalplus covers all the other warms she never had!

Thanks Freya, Advocate pack says treats flea,larvae, whipworm, hookworm, roundworm angiostrongylus, credosama, heartworm, otodectes, sarcoptes, demodex and louse. I just dont know what else Milbemax treats - any ideas ?

Wendy I'm confused myself now. Unless my vet knows something that we don't it seems I could give her only the advocate. Maybe somebody else knows more?

I've got the pack downstairs I can have a look

Milbemax covers gastrointestinal roundworms, hookworm, whipworms, tapeworms, lungworm and heart worm

I've used both and Daisy has been sick after and one very runny poo! But other times she's been fine!

So the missing worms are tapeworm and lungworm (need to look at the translation for the others - will come back)

Lungworm is the one they are hot on at the moment because it's so deadly

Both crenosoma and angiostrongylus are lungworms and the other unpronouncables are for mange, ear mites and another skin mite. So, it seems that the tapeworm is the one that's missing.

And just found this about tapeworm: Unlike roundworms, dogs cannot become infected by eating fertilized tapeworm eggs. Tapeworms must first pass through an intermediate host (a flea) before they can infect a dog.
So maybe my friend's right, as using Advocate will prevent flea infestation anyway). Food (yuk!) for thought.

Yeah!! I like the advocate flea treatment it's brilliant

I use milbemax, it does cover all worms but they cant say so because it hasnt undergone testing even though its the same ingredients no side effects either except my ex's boy shites through the eye of a needles unless he get a liquid wormer from the vets. he can eat anything usually while both mine have very sensitive tums.
