Advocate is not for normal worms, you will still have to worm your dogs with what ever you normally use.

Advocate is effective on "lung worm " only , along with mange/parasites.. my vet advices you carry on your normal worming programme, maybe leave a little time inbetween , but speak to your vet, first, as you will have to get the advocate from them anyway!!

milbemax is one of the few 'worming tablets' that does cover lungworm.

I did not know that where does it say on the link, cant see it

under description,then product type

Just to say I couldn't get into the vets this afternoon but I did manage to speak to him on the phone. He says I can pick the Milbemax tablets up tomorrow lunchtime and that yes they will work on Lungworm. I'm to worm the dogs tomorrow when I get home and if he is still coughing a week after being wormed i'm to take him back in and he'll reassess the situation.

Jackbox it goes without saying that I would always check with the vet before giving the dogs any treatment, I was just wanting peoples opinions on here first so I knew what to ask for, as I do tend to get things muddled up sometimes.

Found it

I think it is only tape worm that it doesn't cover
