Best wormer for unknown history?

[sav123]

Basically as above!

The dog in question, which is being taken on by a friend, is a lurcher, and is (probably) about 20-22kg. She has been told he has been wormed but the people she's getting him from are a bit vague as to when the last one was, what they used or how often, so she wants to start it from scratch again.

I'm sure you lovely people, especially those involved with rescues who have this all the time, will be able to put her on the right track!

Thank you.

I use Drontal which I think covers most things. According to the label it covers:

Ascarids:Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina (adult and late immature forms).

Hookworms: Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma caninum (adults).

Whipworms: Trichuris vulpis (adults)

I use Milbemax from the vet as it also covers Tapeworm, which quite a few don't cover in one tablet.
