Milbemax wormer

They are a prescription only medicine so only available from your vet or with a written prescription.
Drontal is actually licensed to kill more worms than Milbemax and is available over the internet or at most agricultural merchants. You can buy big tablets so a 35kg dog only needs the one.
I have absolute confidence in both products if given at the correct dose [they are safe so if in doubt over rather than under dose!]

Last time i used these on all 5 of my dogs it knocked them side ways, was really cold but even terrier inside went down hill bad.
Going to try panicur, if not that then back to drontrol
Panacur is not a suitable wormer for an adult dog. It is very safe and effective against roundworms [so brilliant for puppies as they are all born with worms] but doesn't kill the most important tapeworms. Tapeworm are much more significant in working dogs than roundworms [puppies and pregnant bitches excluded].
Nah, doesn't kill many burrowing mites, heartworm etc. Any new drugs that go to market have to be prescription only. There is nothing special about Milbemax and I expect it will be downgraded at some point. At least when supplied via the vet route there should be decent advice behind it, rather than some of the weird and useless products and protocols that some people have been told from various sources!
The advantage of the Milbemax is the wide dose rate that one tablet will treat [anywhere between 5-25kg]. We sell many thousands of tablets per year and I only know of one dog in the practice that doesn't tolerate them.
