A FEW FACTS ABOUT WORMERS


Recommended Posts

We have a deworming protical over here. We rotate our wormers and try to never use the same one twice in a row. All of the wormers we use are for "large" animals ie horses, which you can buy at any farm store without a prescription. The only ones that we buy at the vet is drontal plus & the heartguard as it is more cost effective for us over here.

Here is our deworming schedule along with the doses for each and a heartworm dose.

If you don't want to pay vets prices, you can buy your wormers from a pharmacist. They are licenced to sell veterinary drugs of the POM-VPS catergory (which wormers fall into).
