I am looking for one of these delivered to the usa or not needing a prescription. None of the OTC wormers cover ALL the worms, not just two or three. My dog has had these worms before and I should be worming him every 6mo, but I don't and won't go to a vet just to get a $50 "exam", he's fine, all he needs is the wormer.
It's driving me crazy, anyone can help me?
Can I use a horse wormer or is there anything in the usa w/o needing the vet?
Paratak Plus or Drontal Plus

I believe the OTc wormer that I have been buying for my dogs, from our feed store covers all the worms. I worm them every 3 months with it.

What kind of worms do you think you need to worm for?

this is just for tapeworms, works great.

This is what I use every 3 months.
Has praziquantel already in it.

You can also just get a bottle of pyrantel pamoate to use on the months you don't use the combo wormer.

Am I missing something?

I answered my own question, I guess the wormers I posted, do not cover whipworms. Can't say I have ever tested my dogs, so don't know if I am over looking a whipworm problem. The Nemex 2 and Praziquantal is all my vet every recommended to us, so I just started buying it OTC.

I will look some more at wormers for whipworms.

I'd like to find something that covers all the worms. He's fine other than seeing worm bits in his poo the last month or so. He's on heartworm meds, need to get more.

worms bits would be tapeworms.

I would go with the safe-guard for canine and then do the combo wormer 3 months form now. and switch back and forth.

I think it's Interceptor, need to buy another years worth. Gotta haggle with my old vet again. They don't like to do the whole ~buy online~ stuff, they think it's a scam, dangerous or something, I forgot what my vet said. Either way, we've been going to this vet for 12 years, since they first moved into town and opended, you would think they would respect our needs and work with us, but no...
