Having just got our Labrador pup and been told that he requires worming every 2 weeks I started to look into what was best and frequency online - What do you recommend?
He was done after we got him with Milbemax - but I don't think i'll use that again due to remarks on this forum about it! although I have to say he showed no reaction this time it was flipping expensive from our vets!
according to the 2 week rule he is due again this friday but further to reading about others; if these drugs are upsetting their stomachs are we pumping too many chemicals into them? yes we want to keep worms away but is there not a gentle longer lasting one?
I also have horses so understand the importance of keeping them regularly wormed but what is best?
I would especially like to hear from equestrian people as I am sure all dogs and horse poo have the same attraction!
Monty is currently coming up 10 weeks.
Thanks

Some of the newer wormers only need monthly dosing, certainly the case with Panacur beyond weaning age.

I always use Drontal puppy suspension on mine.

I worm every 2 weeks until 12 weeks, at 6 months I worm with Panacur and then I go onto Drontal adult tablets every 3 months.

Now I worm for the third time at 11 weeks, tehn monthly to 6 months and then as with the adults two to foru times a year.
