Strongid g or even in generic is what I have used for 30 years or so...pyrantal pamoate is the active ingredient...horse wormer in tube that treats 1200 pounds...I usually give double per dog and only do it once but repeat in 10 days to get the newly hatched worm larvae...this should be done with all wormers...repeat worming in ten days to break worm cycle...

Ivomec I use as Pat uses it... 2 cc’s (mils) per 50 pound dog every 2 months but year round...also use for ear mites if needed but give it once and then a week later...normally I use the ivermectin in 1200 pound horse tube form (Paste) and again I use generic or buy on sale...I like the price and it is 1.87 percent ivermectin instead of 1 percent in liquid form...


Praziquantel for tapes...I used to buy it for fish wormer and then used it on my dogs...I always am looking at the active ingredients in new wormers and I found a new wormer at TSC feed store...again for horse in a 1200 pound tube...QUEST PLUS gel...active ingredients...moxidectin/praziquantel...this is a little more expensive but well worth the money...have used it once already for tapes and worked great...as usual I use 1.5 times what it calls for...tapes only need one treatment...I just wait until I see one dog with a few in the stool and then I worm all for tapes at that time

For me, the best wormer on the market is Drontal Plus. It is a little expensive from your vet but you can obtain a generic on eBay, Amazon, or from Eisenhut dog supply. Drontal Plus gets all intestinal worms and it's a one-day treatment.
I do rotate worming's about every 3-4 months using Drontal one time then the next time I will do the 3-day treatment of Safeguard liquid goat wormer. The Safeguard is dosed at 1 cc per 5 lbs of body weight, given orally for 3 days in a row.
I only use ivomec as a heartworm preventative - 1/10cc per 10 lbs of weight given once a month.
This has worked for me for over 20 years.
