Reuben,
Zimectrin Gold does in fact kill tapes. The regular Zimectrin does not. 2 different products that are approved for horses by label. An honest vet will confirm that correctly used, the Gold can be a good canine wormer.
Thanks, I did use th Z. Gold but someone on here did say that it didn't have enough Praziquantal in it to kill the tapes so I stopped using it for tapes.
I too have been hunting dogs and have raised many litters of pups and have gone to the vet very few times and I haven't lost a dog in many many years due to not giving them the right preventative medicine or pup for that matter. So this works for me but this is only one way of doing it. I am not a rookie because I have been doing it for over 40 years but I am not an expert but I most definitely am a student on breeding better dogs, preventative health care for dogs and training dogs the easy way...
