I use the horse wormer Zimecterin or any off brand of the same because it has 1.87% active ingredient but the pig wormers have 1% or less. I do this for economy reasons I just give about half as much for the same strength.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

use zimectrin gold on anything over 12 weeks and it is really good all around wormer, just worm once a month and you should be fine.

You are better off using the oral horse wormer. A very good vet buddy of mine warned me years ago not to rely on the injectable wormers. Told me he was seeing a good many heartworm cases in dogs that had been given the injectable their entire life. He recommended using Promecterin, an oral ivermecterin for horses that the vets sale. A lot cheaper, I'm giving around $30 for 100mm. At a dosage for 1/2 mm per 60 lbs.
