What worm dose do you recommend

terminator2

i have to dose my dogs for worms , and i was wondering what worm tablets you recommend

patdahat

I have used drontil plus and medimax both effective.

steyrman2

Hi also use drontil + but the were out of stock so i got parazole it oral suspension not sure how good it is yet but its better than nothing

alie

Gave my Springer spaniel medimax and she got awful dioherrea , lasted for 3 days, it was correct dosage, has this happened to anyone else.

Another +1 for Drontal - give it to all my dogs find it very good

terminator2

i used the same stuff "parazole" , and dont have much faith in it styerman

rugerman

drontal+ is the one but dose them again in 9 days time as the dose wont kill the egs from worms when u dose them after 9 days it kills the rest my 2 cents anyway

Use parazole for years and its grand its broad spectrum as with all drugs use diferent types not the same one all the time

+1 use different one each time your worming

I use the stuff for cattle; we have a load of it here for the cattle so I use it away. I asked the vet what dose I should give and he said to give the same amount per kg as a calf. For a 30 kg dog I think it works out at about 15 c so just ask any farmers you're friendly with for some.

Curazole (same as parazole, but for sheep and lots cheaper) alternated with Drontal +

Shoot2kill

I use a mixture. I try to rotate it between FEN-BEN 10 which is an oral cattle drench, it's dosed at 1ml per 10kg, I think a litre is around €25 so if you have a few dogs it will last ages.

Ivermectin injection which is dosed at 1ml per 50kg. The beauty about this is that it will do external parasites too. A 50ml bottle is around €14. (note It can't be given to collie's)

Or Drontal (or Cazitel, which is the Pfizer version of drontal) The only down side to the drontal is that it's 1 per 10kg & it can be €3 or €4 a tablet. If like me you have a few dogs it could cost a small fortune to dose all the dogs in one whip.

I use stronghold its made by Pizfer its about €40 for 3 pour on sachets and is ment to last up to 3 months

Don't use it if it does fluke aswell. Flukacides can be extremely harsh on the stomach & could scour your dog alot.

Ivermectin effects the nervous system of collie's.

I use oromectin drench .. Seems to be what a lot of the greyhound men and hunting packs use round my way ..

milbemax

just finished giving my dog a 6 month course of invermectin. He had mites affecting his skin. pretty horrible skin condition, but the invermectin was brilliant in clearing it up. the vet said if he had any collie blood in him he could drop dead from it! I'd have good faith in it to be a good worm dose seeing the condition my fella is in now compared to the well shook fella he was six months ago!
