sobesmom Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm thinking of giving my dogs an all-purpose wormer every 6 months. Fosters come and go, we're out and about, I assume worms are going to show up occasionally, so I thought that doing a twice yearly purge can't hurt. I'm pretty sure that I've read that others do this, or something like it. What brand of med's should I use? I'd like to order from Pets Megastore (in Oz). I bought Frontline through them and was quite happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzaFerrari Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I keep panacur on hand for when Enza picks up buggies. It's the same stuff as I pick up from the vet and as 9 times out of 10, the buggies don't show in fecals and they just de-worm her anyways..... I buy it from Entirely Pets and doesn't need a prescription. I don't do it regularly - more when she gets the big D with no reason I can think of.

Hubcitypam Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Pets Megastore sells canine allwormer which kills 11 kinds of worms. I've used it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 years ago most wormers were toxic (although typically used at levels that are relatively safe according to manufacturer's testing) - that's how they get rid of the worms. Not sure if you want to give it to your dog if he/she doesn't have worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcsheltie Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 We alternate between Panacur or Safegaurd and Drontal Plus. If we've been somewhere that I suspect Giardia we use Panacur. I do it quarterly, as we have a lot coming and going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerlinsMum Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Panacur. Quote Kerry with Lupin in beautiful coastal Maine.

Guest RocketDog Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 We use Panacur granules, plus the Interceptor heartworm preventative, which will handle some wormies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahicks51 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 If you go with Interceptor for heartworm, you get hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm protection for free. Quote Coco (Maze Cocodrillo) Minerva (Kid's Snipper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
