No need to feel like a bad mum - it is a matter of personal choice just like what we each decide to feed our dogs. As the question was asked, people have answered. It is always interesting to hear what other people choose to do whether or not it is the same as you
Completely agree, whatever our personal choices are when it comes to feeding or medicating our cockers, we are all trying to do the best for our furry friends.
I've always advocated Advocate (Sorry, couldn't resist it
) following the advice of our vet and a fair bit of online research. It's interesting to see how, apart from the more usual dog problems, these other infections and infestations are becoming endemic in some parts of the UK yet are rarely seen in others.
The best advice I've seen on the subject is to check with your local vet. They'll have a better idea of what is, and isn't, proving problematical in their area and will be able to advise accordingly.
We have both Milly and Chaz on a checkup/treatment program with our vet and Advocate is supplied as their treatment of choice for the known risks in this particular area of Scotland.
