I take my dogs to the vet as puppies,then i treat at home unless it's something I feel I cant handle, ivermectin is great. Iused right. I also go to a local pharmacy and get 5 in shots. The only shot I don't give them is the rabies shot, but now and then, I take them in to be checked. My vet laughs. He says I know your dogs don't have worms. He even sells premixed ivermectin for dogs, he firmly believes in it.

I have a 60 pound catahula leopard dog that has problems with worms ever since i got him from the dog pound.I took him to vet every time to expensive to get medicine from them every time he gets worms. I just took him in about a month ago for worms and now i notice he has them again. What can i do at home to get rid of them because I'm tired of going through this every month? Can't afford 160 dollars every month for vet visits because of worms. So please help me with some home remedies that will help get rid of them. He has the long white ones. That's the ones he has the most problem with.

I was wondering if anyone has heard of some kind of new sickness in dogs where they are having problems putting on weight and losing weight. They have been wormed regular and had shots. They eat like horses and poo like horses too. Tried several dog foods. Had 1 that got skinny that got in fight with 1 that was thick and healthy and now he's skinny too. Vets or vet trainees have not seen anything(haven't seen actual vet in years only new people). Have other dogs who are in close proximaty not affected. Any body?

Actually, those that gave tobacco to their dogs are just lucky that the dogs didn't die! Tobacco can make your dog seriously ill or kill it. It is just a myth that it kills worms, there is no truth to it.

Also, too much garlic can also make a dog sick. garlic is listed on the ASPCA's website as a "poisonous" food for dogs. However, some holistic remedies for dogs have (very) small amounts of garlic in them, because it helps the immune system. So garlic can help, but make sure it is in small quantities only.

Still TOBACCO KILLS DOGS. AND CHEAP BEER DOES NOT WORK EITHER.

BRING YOUR DOG TO A VET IF HE/SHE HAS WORMS! Seriously, would you give yourself surgery in order to save a doctor's bill? Don't treat your dog at home, either. That's what vets are for!

Regular worming is essential to protect your dog against internal parasites. This involves giving it preparations in liquid or tablet form. Adult dogs should be wormed at least once a year, and at least once every six months if in contact with children. Dogs showing any signs of infection should be wormed immediately and all breeding bitches should be wormed prior to mating.I do hope it's been helpful.For more articles and products to help you care for your dog

A few years back I was living in central Texas when my 6 month old Rottie had pooped out some worms. Unable to take my pup to the vet I called some people to see if there was something I had at home I could give him to help. A friend of my sister told me to take one of my cigaretts and add the tobacco to Bear's food. Later that night Bear pooped out the worms and a week later when I was able to take him in to see a vet he no longer had worms and was healthy.
I realize this may seem as an unhealthy way to treat a puppy, but my condition at the time left me unable to get my baby the care he needed. The cigarett tobacco served as a great substitute. Bear is now almost 5 years old and in great health.

I was informed that the injection was the best way to go with Ivomec. It takes care of ear mites too. But I don't know what the mix ratio is. Does anyone know?

This does not only pertain to worming dogs and if they have red mange but for "ILUVDOBES" and "AARDVARK" not everybody can afford to go to the vet every time. My vet charges $4.oo a pill for a treatment of tape worms, it takes 6 pills per dog usually when one of my puppies gets them i have to treat all 3 of my puppies. thats 18 pills @ $4.00 thats $72.00. thats insane the vets are out to make money.
If you need meds for your dogs there is a great web site www.revivalanimal.com. There meds are what the vets use and a heck of a lot cheaper.
And just incase any one needs to know the treatment for "RED MANGE"which is hereditary, since the vet wants to charge "$25.00 per dipping and it takes about 4 to 5 dippings" that is quoted from the doctor himself.
Ivomec cattlewormer works great for that Given by weight, down into tenths of a CC (i.e. 50 lb. Dog gets .05 CC) for 30 to 60 days. It works. compared to $125.00 for the dippings or a bottle of ivomec which is approx. $40.00. and i am not saying don't ever take your dog to the vet but sometimes there are alternative treatments that work. Remember he is a business man no matter what that doesn't make him a bad guy. the internet will most likely have an answer for you also.

We wormed our dogs with garlic for years and have had them checked by the vet and they did not have worms. We browned ground beef, and added fresh garlic. We have also been using BlackWalnut Extract purchased at a health food store. It doesnt give them bad breath and is really easier. It has been our choice for the last several years. Dose would be according to your dogs size. A small dog (10lbs) starting at about 3 drops and my big dogs (50lbs) about 10-15drops. I have a six month old puppy that has only been wormed with Black Walnut starting at abouth 3-4wks old.We also have his mother ,weights around 50lbs, who has only gotten the Black Walnut. She had 6 healthy puppies. The one we kept is now weighs 60lbs with a beautiful shinny coat. We usually worm twice a month but I always start with a small dose and use a little as possible, I dont believe in taking anything you dont need, even if all natural. Always use caution and always do your homework with anything you or your pets take. Mommy, daddy and puppy are all given the Black Walnut. I have never given this to any other type animals, only dogs. I am not a professional so please use caution as I send this advice based on my experience with my sweetie dogs.

I do what a vet in a northern state told us to do. First, make sure the dog is free of heartworms. Now, for most worms, you can use Ivomec wormer for cattle and swine. It is an injectible, but all household/farm animals can take it. We give our dogs-160 & 50 lbs- a few drops in their water once a month. Of course the big dog gets more. He gets about a dropperful, and the little one gets about 1/3. The cat gets a couple of drops. For tapeworm, you can use Cattle-Guard/Panacur. They need this treatment for three days.
We have done this for the past seven years. It adds up by doing this, as the Ivomec costs only about $40.00 a bottle. We have only bought four bottles in this time, and it has been used for dogs, cats, pigeons, and chickens. The Cattle-Guard costs about $10.00 per tube, and we only needed one tube-vs-about $60.00 for a one time pill treatment.
You can buy this at most feed stores. Of course, you should probably check with your vet, and if it is an honest one, they will help you with any questions on this. We have moved twice since the first vet told us about it, so we've had the chance to ask the other vets that we've used. All of them (4) have said we are doing it correctly. It definitely saves over the once a month, which for us would be over $100.00 for a three month (?) supply.
Hope this helps you out!
Amy

I would never attempt such a thing, you can kill your pets with over the counter wormers. Please take a stool sample to your vet.

I don't know if there is a home remedy that works.....I read once that pumpkin seed, when fed in larger doses is known as a natural dewormer.......but if you think your dog may have worms you should be sure to do something as soon as you can....not a good thing....if not through a vet... buy something...you may not know it but there are liquid and pill form broad spectrum dewormers at an affordable price at Wal-mart and such stores......or pet stores.....good investment if your dogs health is on the line....
here's a sight to learn more about worms.........

Unfortunately, there is no adequate substitute for real veterinary products in this area. Even the store-bought kinds of over-the-counter (OTC) stuff are a waste of money. Save up and go to the vet with a fresh stool sample in a baggie.
