I'm very new to all things dog and am totally confused about worming and defleaing treatments.
I have a 4 month old puppy who is approximately 8 kgs in weight.
I have him on a pet plan with the vets which covers worming and flea treatment, and so far, I've been given so much different advice that I'm getting very confused.
When I phoned the vet and they explained the pet plan to me, they said because of his age, I would need to give him 1 worming tablet and the flea treatment per month. I took him for a check up with the vet nurse and to get him weighed and while there, I signed him up to the pet plan, and at this point, I was told he needed worming every 2 weeks and defleaing once a month.
I just phoned to arrange to pick up another worming tablet and have now been told he is only meant to be given half a worming tablet every 2 weeks and 4 weekly flea treatment until he is 6 months old, when it all changes again.
Does anyone know if worming is monthly, 4 weekly or 2 weekly? Is it half a tablet every 2 weeks or a whole tablet every 2 weeks or month?
What about the flea treatment?
My brain is all foggy now.
Is it advisable to be breaking worming tablets in half?
The vet are giving me Drontal Plus for worming and the dropper on the back of the neck for defleaing is Advocate.
