noisymina Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm looking to order the next lot of wormers for the dog and the two cats. And came across this one. I looks like it could be very economical as it covers both the intestinal worms and the heartworm. I do have questions, tho. It says it is for dogs to 20kg - the large one - but my dog is 33kg - can I give her two tablets? How many tablets come in the box - it doesn't seem to say?

luckypup Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 i use Canex and find its quite good. my dog eats it without any issues. Usualy the pack says how many to give for a certain weight. check the pack labelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 It looks like you only get 4 tablets in a box of 20kg. If your dog is 33kg then you would be having to give nearly 2 tablets per dosage. If a box costs $40 then that would be $20 a month. You can by a 6 pack of Sentinel Spectrum (22 - 45 kg), that does exaclty the same thing, for $70 meaning that a dosage of that would cost you under $12 a month.

I had by-passed the Sentinal - assumed it was a flea thing, but they must make more than just flea treatment. Yes - she would need two tablets - and if there are only 4 per box, then not a good deal! So far....................... I have ........................... Option one: 6 Heartguard (chewable) $29.80 (@ six week intervals gives 9 months) Drontal Chewable all-wormer 2 for $30.35 (every 3 months will be $45) for the 9 months Total would be $75 Option 2: 6 Sentinal Spectrum is $78 (at six weekly intervals) BUT dog is getting twice the drugs needed every six weeks. If used monthly, then two out of three months. And every dose would include flea treatment she does not need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
