Dog wormer w/o a vet??

[20kidsonhill]

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...

Print off a couple prices on-line and tell him if he wont match the price, then you would like to buy on-line. That is annoying. We dont' have problems with the vet we are going to doing that.

let me look up interceptor. HOld on.

(Novartis Animal Health) Interceptor Flavor Tabs for Dogs and Cats are used to prevent heartworm disease, control adult hookworms, and remove and control adult roundworm and whipworm infections in dogs and puppies.

Looks like you mostly need to concentrate on the tapeworms. You could go with just the praziquantel tablets, you maybe do the combo wormer pack, not sure if it is a problem doing the interceptor and combo pack at the same time or with in a close time period. I don't see why it would be, but I am not a vet.

for sure do the praz. tablets and if yo have been out of heartworm for a couple months then do the safe-gaurd for canines, so you can also cover the whips. Always go to the next higher dosage. if your doge falls somewhere in between two dosages.

I dose my dogs with the liquid panacur for goats. I buy the big jug. My vet is ok with this method and I have whipworms on property. 1ml per 5 lbs of body weight. MUCH cheaper than the canine version of pancur/safeguard.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering about that.
Still would need to do a praz. tablet for tapeworms.

Panacur C (fenbendazole) is a broad spectrum parasiticide used to treat hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and whipworms in dogs. It is also used by veterinarians to treat other parasites.

Why???

This says it does tapeworms...

okay, I must have missed that , I guess I know it treats tapeworms in goats, I thought I saw praziquintal on the safe-guard label for dogs. Went and read the label again, I guess it proves I sometimes assume and not follow comprehend what I am reading. Thanks for giving me a heads up on my mistake. For sure it looks like all you need is the safe-guard.

Thank you.

I bought Safe-Guard 4, Canine Dewormer. Says it treats; Tapeworms[Taenia], Roundworms, Hookworms & Whipworms. Hope that will cover him. The other just does Round and Hooks. Gave him his two 4g packets, two more days to go.
Also went ahead and got the cats new flea collars and flea/mosquito/tick meds. Drops will wait until tomorrow for the cats, will give the dogs their drops in 3 days.
