Advocate (drops on back of the neck) does lung worm, in fact all the worms and fleas etc apart from tapeworm .... according to my vet.

I dont think there is one that 'does all'. Wouldn't you think modern medicine would have come up with just one tablet that covers 'all worms' by now. Until then dog owners have to pay through the nose for several tablets (I think I've just realised why! - money Doh.....)

Neither was I until one of my neighbour's dogs spent almost a week in the vets with lungworm and pneumonia as a complication. He's not a grass eater either but still managed to get infected. I'm up North so wasn't in the least concerned about it. Both my dogs are now on Advocate.

I thought it was every 3 months but I may be wrong. Maybe it's the lungworm element that requires every 2 weeks.
It's a minefield isn't it?!! I'm researching what to give my lot at the moment too. I want to give something that doesn't have to be given too frequently as I hate loading my dogs up with drugs. I thought Milbemax would be ok but maybe not

Is there anywhere on line for Droncit and Advocate without a prescription.

According to my Vet we do not have lungworm [or heartworm] here so I do not need to worry about those. Until now he has always given Pereg Drontal Plus but has now changed to giving her the wormer I asked about here:
