Hi folks.

I have a 12 week old pup. She's been wormed /flea treated by the vets up to this point, but I don't want to continue buying from the vets forever as I know it's far more expensive!

What do people use?

I want to stay away from frontline as I've heard dogs are likely to be immune from it.

Any advice appreciated ❤️🐶

I don’t flea treat as he doesn’t have them and never has.
And I worm 3 or 4 times a year, again I’ve never seen them. Some people send poo samples off to check for worms, and only treat if they have them.

I use Simparica for files and ticks and Milpro wormer for my dog. Both are tablets as my dog is dim enough to think they are treats and eats them without a fuss.

After the time we arrived back from holiday to find the house hopping with fleas I will never not treat the cats and dog again.

Fleas and ticks.

The worming does lungworm, roundworm and tapeworm, I think lungworm is the more dangerous one of the three.

Prescription only are more effective than any bought over the counter. The cheaper way to do it is to get a prescription from your vet then buy online. Your vet will charge for the prescription but it should still work out cheaper.
