In my oppinion it's essential that you do them regularly kim if you are racing them at a club as if they get them they could pass them on to the other dogs in their feaces :thumbsup:

And it's no fun for the dogs anyway they can get worms quickly if untreated :x just my oppinion :thumbsup:

Probably right, but its not one of those things i remember to do, i will have to put it in my diary :thumbsup:

Not probably, most definitely right! All dogs have worms and should be treated on a regular basis. It is irresponsible not to do so.

I can't vote because there isn't a category for me - I use Milbemax because you only have to give it every 4-6 months rather than every 3.

4 monthly if they're scavengers who pick up stuff out on walks, or 6 monthly if they're o

If you get them from the vet Kim they should send you a reminder card mine do, and if they don't you could ask them to :thumbsup:

Good thing is now with racing they know I know exactley how much they weigh when we first started with them I used to have to drag them all to the vets just to get weighed, :blink: now i just bob in and pick them up when I'm passing :thumbsup:

I do all ours regulary but give them as little as possible.

However I think the ones most likely to get worms are the young sexually active ones so I am always well on top of them.

I read the other day thatthe dog flea is getting quite rare  :cheers: .  How many of you have noticed a drop in flea trouble.  We hardly ever see a flea now, even when we get back from a show.  Probably be infested now Ive said thar (w00t)

I HATE flea preparations, I think they poison the dogs too. :angry:

I've never seen a flea on any of mine, so never used any flea treatment. Worm them with Drontal every 3 months.
