Default Clarification

Sorry Guys, I should have clarified myself. I also use Ivomec once a month for Heartworms. I am talking about worm meds for roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. As for going cheap, what many people don't understand is that most brands use the exact same meds in wormers for horses, cattle, and dogs. Safeguard for instance used fenbendazole as their main ingredient in all their worm medicines. They just mark the hell out of the meds for dogs. If you do some simple math, you can figure out the dose such as I did. Most people don't know, but horses, cattle, and goats, take 10x less amount of meds than a dog. Go online and read the labels. Horses, Cattle, and goats dose at 2.27mg per lb. Dogs dose at 22.7 mg per pound. Now, you can pay 15 - 30 bucks per pkg of worm medicine, but I'm going to use my head, use the exact same medicine, but buy it at a cheaper price. I use the 125ml bottle of Safeguard for Goats and I can worm my dog for almost 4 - 3 round intervals for a total cost of $17.99.
