I cant find any other chewable ones on there? but don't want to get the wrong thing!

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?

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?

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.
