Diggerman Dan 27 Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hello, I have 7month old dog which I feed on raw meat and tripe, mixed with a good quality dry biscuit and a bit Chopped veg thrown in now and again. He’s seems to be thriving on the diet but I’ve been told or I’ve heard that dogs fed on raw are more likely to have trouble with worms. Is this true? If so I would like to know what is the best wormer on the market to keep the problem under control? I have two young kids at home and really want to minimise the risk of the dog passing anything on to them. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,873 Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Like pengelli, I've been feeding mine raw since 1999 and have always used drontal. Never had any problems (touch wood). 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Beaphar)? Will be changing brand for his next treatment so just wanting to know what people find the most effective to use as I hear raw feeding can be more problematic with worms.
