Post by: kate2 on November 13, 2014, 10:47:24 AM

They're prescription only, so you'll need a prescription from your vet in order to buy online. Vets are obliged to sell you a prescription, usual cost around £10 to £12, but they're unlikely to sell you one unless they've seen your dog within the last 6 months.

sorry yes I have the prescription from the vet, but that says

"Milbemax Chewy 125MGx4 DOG"

and the VetUK site doesn't say what mg it is?  :huh:

http://www.petmeds.co.uk/Dogs/Dog-Health/Wormers/Milbemax-Tablets-for-Dogs-and-Puppies/p/I0011299

This site indicates that

"MILBEMAX tablets for dogs: a tablet containing 12.5 mgmilbemycin oxime and 125 mg praziquantel.

MILBEMAX tablets for small dogs and puppies: a tablet containing 2.5 mg milbemycin oxime and 25 mg praziquantel."

The small dog tablets are listed by the manufacturer for dogs up to 5kgand have 25mg of praziquantel I think you need the tablets for dogs which contain 125mg of praziquantel.

Thankyou I emailed VetUK and it appears they don't do the chewable one :( "The Milbemax for adult dogs that we stock are standard non chewable tablets."

Where is the best place to get these from instead please? :)

Pet Drugs Online https://www.petdrugsonline.co.uk/dogs/prescriptions/m

I buy William's Optimmune ointment from them (prescription ointment for Dry Eye) and have always found them very quick and reliable and their prices are good.
