B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Just got some advocate for my dogd. I see it does everything under the some apart from tapeworm. My question is, next time my dogs are due what precautions do i take against tapeworm. Is it ok to give prazital a week or so after? Or wait longer, or not bother at all?

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I give drontal, then 3 months later advocate, then 3 months later drontal etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Aye but advocate doesnt protect against tapeworm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I know but a lot of people only worm once every 6 months. 6 monthly is ample for tapeworm IMO, as is 6 monthly for lungworm with the advocate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 just do them a fortnight apart and you will have no problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd have to disagree with you there Gareth mate..If you feed raw food/flesh then i'd advise every 3 months at least for tapeworm..not only that..a working dog comes across all manner of nasties whilst out hunting/working..who's to know what they ingest whilst out of sight?....so to answer the original question..yes a week or 2 after a dose of Advocate for tapeworm or maybe even a week or 2 before Advocate is administered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Fair point stabba. What do you do then? Advocate every 3 months and then drontal a couple of weeks before or after? Cheers Gaz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
