I did look at worm counting, it doesn't seem to be as much of a thing for dogs does it? And it seemed to be £50 whereas my vet charges £8 for the horse. I feel like I'm missing something 🤔 this is my first dog!

I've finally found a wormer that doesn't make him really ill - panacur granules. Is this a decent option? Does it need supplementing with something else? I cant figure it out, there's so many types of worms, why is it so complicated 🙈

That wouldn't be too bad then, and it would be a good few years before they'd insist everyone moved up again you'd hope!

I don't want to derail the thread but I need a new body protector. If I buy a 2018 level it's going to be a while before they up the safety standard for competing again isn't it? There's no 2020 level or anything like that out there that they'll make the new standard in a couple of years?

I have some cob/medium ones for sale if you want to PM me 👍

I'm umming and ahhing about these and can't find many reviews online - are they warm and at least rain proof then? Thanks 🙂

I found North Yorkshire (Richmond/Northallerton/near the Dales) a wonderful place to keep a horse. Lots of competitive opportunities but also beautiful countryside and hacking and several active trail hunting packs doing fun rides all summer etc

My vet has said I could try this, so a 'spot on' wormer he doesn't have to ingest: https://www.petdrugsonline.co.uk/advocate-spot-on-for-dogs-250?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAmMC6BhA6EiwAdN5iLfQGyU7eBWrbkX6lSdIXN8qEd-UFcOQoArh6TT1npPZf-kNdm077SBoCD0MQAvD_BwE#646=3352 But it doesn't cover...

I didn't even know that was a thing! Thanks 👍

Thank you everyone! Lots to chat to the vet about next week when he gets his jabs 👍

I have a very lean 2 year old whippet - I think a bit too lean but my vet says he's fine for a teenage boy. Anyway, to put my mind at rest he's had full bloods and a thorough check - he's the picture of health apparently. I was just using a wormer bought online - she said it was worth using a...

No need to worry! It's what my instructor used to call me when I was a child, I could never get my toes in. Now I have no problem with that but a million other flaws have replaced it!

You look incredibly smart 👍

A picture of him, having to dress them up is an added bonus, he can look quite equine 😁

Pros: Gentle Great with kids Sleep for 18 hours a day Only *need* one walk a day, but also will happily walk and walk Don't bark much Don't really smell Very snuggly Cons: You get A LOT of comments about them being too thin/feed your dog etc especially if in a town rather than rural areas. This...
