Dog Wormers

Dog wormers in this range include allwormer tablets and chews from Drontal, Milbemax, Milpro, ParaGard, Endogard and Fido's, a liquid Drontal suspension for puppies, and HeartGard Plus heartworm chews. It also carries the monthly combination products that treat worms alongside fleas or ticks: NexGard Spectra, Credelio Plus, Simparica Trio and Advocate.

Choosing a dog wormer

Dose by body weight. Almost every product here is sold in weight bands, so weigh your dog before you buy rather than guessing, and move up a band as a puppy grows.

Check which worms a product covers. A dedicated allwormer such as Drontal or Milbemax is aimed at intestinal worms including tapeworm. Many monthly combinations cover heartworm, roundworm and hookworm but leave out tapeworm, so read the label if tapeworm is a concern, for example in dogs that hunt or have had fleas.

Tablet or chew, the right one is the one your dog will reliably take. For puppies, pregnant dogs or dogs on other medication, ask your vet which product and schedule to use.
