Millet 4,497 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) I have just copied this info from the net and after reading many different veiw's Advocate is about the best followed by Milbemax..sorry about the yellow text.. ..i'm not sure about the bit where Milbamex should not be used in collie breed's.. Drontal Plus will cover all intestinal worms found here in the UK, but does not touch Heart/Lung worms, or anything else such as ticks or fleas. It appears Panacur is fine for Round worms and Tape worms. It will eliminate Lungworm, but cannot be used as a preventative. To get rid of Lungworm it takes at least a week's course rather than a single dose. Milbemax Like Panacur is a broad spectrum wormer which can also be used as a preventative for Lungworm, in normal doses. But again like Panacur needs high doses if the worm has become established. Milbemax should NEVER be used for Collie breeds, and can be a problem with other breeds, so needs monitoring (as any medication should be.) Advocate can be used both as a preventative and cure, and is again a broad spectrum wormer and also controls fleas, ear mites sarcoptic mange and demodicosis, but to my knowledge does not touch Ticks or I think Tape worms. Frontline controls fleas and ticks but does not touch worms. So there you are. Nothing covers everything! So many people are now rotating what they use in an effort to cover the lot. But of course, that has risks. For example, Bayer, the manufacturers of Advocate would test all their products to ensure compatibility, but would be under no obligation to test against other manufacturers products. Most I�ve no doubt would be perfectly safe, but you are on your own without a lifebe Edited August 21, 2012 by Millet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I use milbemax for regular broad spectrum wormer... it deals with more stuff than drontal plus. And once per year I use advocate, usually in the spring before the ticks get bad, plus I take dogs into Europe so want a good measure of protection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
