What do you use to treat your dogs ?
We use :
Advantix ( for ticks as a big problem in the area we live in ) Advocate ( to prevent lungworm ) and Milbermax ( wormer )

i only worm mine with the milbermax, but looking into the natural way, with the coconut and carrots but need to look more into it. I dont use flea treatments, unless i need to which up to now i never had touch wood.

Our dogs go in the park twice a day ( where there are deer/ and lots of other wildlife so we always keep up there worming etc as it's to much of a risk them getting ill & they love / live for there walks )

i have been told by my trainer that she uses natural way of grated carrot and dessicated coconut, makes the gut inhospitable for worms

we don't have fleas where I live, so no need to treat. For the ticks, I use a tea tree oil base on a special cotton collar that repels them nicely.
they get a worm check yearly and would be treated if positive, but have never had a positive stool yet.
We are not in an area of heartworms either, so no checking or treatment are done by the vets here.
