Which wormer do you use??
« on: September 10, 2009, 10:21:12 AM »
Just wondering which wormer to get - have used Drontal in the past which has been ok but is there anything better - neither have worms at the moment to the best of my knowledge :-\

We use Advocate on Belle 6mths as it is a wormer and a flea treatment(ear mites, mange etc etc) and it helps against lungworm. Not sure whats best though its what our vet recommends but we all know that vets differ in their opinions and they promote certain items ph34r

Drontal here for both dogs and cats - no problems with it.  I  always make sure that I don't worm them on an empty stomach.

Milbemax here too as Drontal makes both Rodaidh and Tilly sick. If it works ok for your dog though then there probably isn't any reason to chop and change. Advocate covers lungworm, roundworm, fleas, mites etc. but it doesn't cover tapeworm which is one of the most common canine intestinal worms so you'd still have to give an extra wormer for that.

It's up to you really but probably the most commonly used ones are Milbemax and Drontal, or maybe Panacur.

Yes or you can order them online but I think you need a prescription from the vet to do so. I'm not 100% certain on that though as I've never done it, I just buy it from the vet.

Don't need a prescription for Drontal and can get it much cheaper online than from the vets.  I think Milbemax needs a vets prescription in order to buy online
