Wormer Query

[Tiggy]

I use to use Interceptor but have changed to Valuheart and the three monthly intestinal wormer my thinking it's less drugs in the system. Just wondering what other people do.

Bump ;) . Sorry if my post wasn't clear. I wanted to do a poll but couldn't figure it out . My question was do you use a combined heartworm/intestinal wormer or do you use a seperate heartwormer and intestinal wormer. Thanks .

Seperate for me.

But aren't intestional wormers meant to be given every three months anyway?

And heart worm monthly?

Yeah but the combined products like Interceptor are a combined heartwormer/intestinal wormer.

Daily heartworm in the mozzie season, intenstinal wormer only when a fecal test indicates an issue (have a squizz about every 3 months, usually worm twice a year)

I used Interceptor for years - but will not be anymore unless they change back to a tablet, or at least give me a choice. Not sure what I will give them yet in place of it. I don't have a flea issue here but I do have wallabies etc around the place that carry tapeworm (as well as a few other things like ticks) so I'm pretty fussy about the worming routine.
