Do any of you use horse wormer to worm dogs? If you do what and how much per dog?

I use Zimectrin Gold for tapeworms. It is notched on the tube and each notch is for 50 pounds. It also has Ivomec in it so you better make sure your dog doesn't have heartworms before you use it.

I have also used Safeguard horse wormer with good results as well.

i use the horse wormer paste with good results.....i use a glob about the size of a pencil eraser for every 50 lbs....

be careful with the zimectrin gold...if you use enough of it to take care of the tape worms it will be overdosing your dog on ivermectin....the ratio is off.....

Had a dog test positive for heartworms. Gave him a normal "heartworm" prevention dose of Ivomec every month and in 1 year he was heartworm negative. We kept the microfilariae killed with the ivomec and the adult worms eventually died. Our dog was only slightly positive so it was not a bad infestation but ivomec did not kill our dog that had heartworms. There are so many opinions on Ivomec and so many misconceptions about it. I am no vet I can only tell you what happened with us.

I don't think the IVOMEC KILLS ADULT WORMS ----It only kills MICROFILARIAS----the adult will died of in time --told by a VET --I'm not one

Friend of mine used to think ivomec kills all worms like even the hooks and whips. Til his dog got real sick and went to the vet with a belly full of worms. He said the vet looked at him like he were an idiot when he said but I give him ivomec every month. Vet sent home with 5 days of panacur and dog all better. Bet lots of people make this mistake.

I've used Panacur horse wormer with good results in the past. If I'm not mistaken, you have to give it three days in a row, and on an empty stomach.

Empty stomach? Not sure about that. The directions on the panacur powder packets say to mix with food. If you mix it in food and they eat it then the stomach is not empty. It is 3 days in a row - I'm just not sure about the empty stomach part.
