Use anything with Praziquantel.

I use Zimecterin gold it has the praziquantel in it as the last guy told you .It also has ivermectin in it wich prevents heartworms.I give it to my dogs monthly.About a pea size for a full size coon dog or half of that for a beagle.It is a paste horse wormer and i get mine at TSC. Make sure your dog dont have heartworms before you give it Ivermectin .Ive been told if it has heartworms it will kill it.

hey thanks for the help guys.

That Zimecterin gold I checked into. I only found it as a single horse dose for 10 bucks. How many pea size monthly dog doses would that give me?

I've wormed some 8 week old puppies for the first time with Zimectin Gold and was wondering if i should do any follow up worming with it in the next couple of weeks or in a month??? Any help would be appreciated.

If it has Prazi in it...I will use it.

I like to manipulate the dogs into doing what ever it is they don't want to do.I wash unruley dogs in the rain.I cut toe nails on certain dogs while they sleep...and mostly I never do one whole paw in the same half hour.

I crush up pills into a powder and mix it with a little broth and water.You pour that into the feed and let it soak in.The dog will never even know it just chowed down those pills.

I squirted Ivomec in a dogs mouth and he hated it.He got to the point he would run circles...I squirted into his feed and the dog never knew he gobbled it up.


Sometimes it's just a matter of being smarter than your dog

Our dogs have learned to find whole pills hidden in food like hot dogs and cheese lumps by nibbling with their front teeth. They learned this skill from plush squeaker toys. They nibble till they find the squeaker then squeak the daylights out of it. If food has the tiniest bit of crushed medicine in it they won't eat it (except for their heartworm meds, they don't mind that mixed in canned food-a rare treat). I've gotten around their tricks with one of my own and I don't even have to crush tablets. I make sure there is another dog in the room besides the one getting the medicine. I take 3 pieces of cheese or hot dog and put the pill in 1 of them. I give the sick or wormy dog the piece with the medicine in it while the other dog watches then I quickly follow with another piece of the treat in its face. Dogs are so greedy that it will not waste time looking for a pill, it will swallow quickly and accept the other treat so I don't give it to the other dog. I give the 2nd dog the last piece of cheese or hot dog (wouldn't be fair otherwise, since it watched the other dog getting treats). Do not do this with dogs that don't get along.
