Hi everyone,

What do you use and when do you worm your dogs?

I have give this a lot of thought and I really just don't know. I have always been under the notion of ounce every month, but what if they don't need it that often? does it hurt them?

Do I need to take him to the Vet and get him checked before I worm him?

Sorry for the silly questions but I would like to know.

Jon

I use ivermec once a month. 1/10 of a cc per ten pounds of dog for adult dogs. For puppies 3 months and older I use panicure once a month for the first year.
I have a puppy wormer that I administer at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, six weeks & 8 weeks. Strongid-Pyrantel Pamoate.

I do this because I have 7-10 working adult dogs and always have several puppies around the kennel. If I only had 1 or two dogs I would put them on heart guard administered once a month.

I've never used anything regularly and only once had the vet find a need for anything. I have their feces checked by the vet once a year .( 3 dogs, not a kennel full)

edit : definitely use heartworm meds for 6 months a year up here

Belly worms, also if a dog has belly worms how will he act?

he seems to have plenty of energy and life but I have noticed that since the weather has turned hot he is not eating as much, is this normal?

thanks for any and all replies.

About every 6 months or so we use Triple Wormer by Durvet. It covers tapeworms, roundworms & hookworms.

They also get Tri-Heart (generic version of Heartguard) monthly because this is FL.

Are you referring to Ivomec? That is 1% ivermectin which .01 gm/ml or 10 mg /ml Why would you be giving your dogs so much of this? A 50-100 lb. dog only needs 272 mcg a month for heartworm prevention. Why are you giving your dogs such an unusually high dose?
