best worming/flea products

god.........you know what all that flippin reading ive done over the years donest mean anything ive lost my mind and cant remember anything!

sorry for all the questions tonight!

what would be the best womer/flea stuff for a really small dog?

i use frontline for my cat so im pleased with them, im going to buy it off of hyperdrug.com now!!

any help apprcitaed!! *head spins!!* :smt017

I use frontline on mine, and Milbemax for the worms. I wouldn't reccomend getting anything for fleas or worms from a pet shop,I always get these treatments from the vets.

hiay thanks yeh hyperdrug.com sell all the products from the vets! its just online and cheaper! i always buy frontline off of there for my cat! save like £10!!!

thanks! ill look it up now! i was thinking drontal for worming?!

I always have Milbemax as that's what my vets give me,it isn't very much, and I used to pick them up when the puppies had their vet checks, injections etc, the vet would weigh them ,and then you have the right dosage. Talk to your vet when you go for the injections if you are not sure.

I have been using advocate recently-does the lot but is prescription only.

I started using it after Moll had ear mites, you put it on the same way as frontline and I find it really convenient if a bit pricy!

When I said pet shops, I meant cr@@@y treatments you see at pets at home and such,

have fun with your puppy.

Frontline is good, but be careful as age and weight can play a part. Eg:

Taken from Frontline's Website;

Do not use on kittens weighing less than 1kg or puppies weighing less than 2kg

Do not use on puppies or kittens less than 8 weeks of age

So personally with flea treatment on a pup I would go to the vet to start with, just incase.

For wormer I would go for Drontal as it's quite safe for puppies. Milbemax has been known to have an adverse reaction with some breeds, mainly Collie breeds, but it's enough for me to steer clear. Drontal has always worked brilliantly for me!

oh yeh i guess i could wait till i see the vets .......i think i will actually, his so small id hate to give him the wrong doseage, thanks for the advice!!!

hiya thanks!! i was just reading about the weight of the dogs, i am going to wait until we see the vets & see what they recomend!

i think ill end up going for frontline & drontal though as i use both for my cat & his fine with them! but ill wait as i want to see what the weight limit is and things! thanks!!!

good luck for tomorrow.....don't forget pics please.

Frontline is fine best to just ask the vet when you take him.

dont use ones in shops etc they are rubbish and don't work.
