Worming, Flea, treatment monthly yes or no? Healthy or Unhealthy

I never treat for fleas, my dogs never have them. Luckily I don’t live in a tick area so don’t have to worry about that. I worm every 6 months - it always used to be OK, I’m not sure why it suddenly Isn’t and has to be every 3 months?

Ditto.

In fact my older dog is only wormed once a year and we only upped her worming when we got the puppy as he was a bit of a scavenger.

We've all seen what's happened with antihelmitics in the horse world, so probably shouldn't replicate our overworming mistakes of the past in dogs. Think there are fecal count services for dogs just like for horses now, although as always there are certainly things that you cannot, or can't easily, test for.
 
I deflea and worm every 3 months. Anytime I've been lazy about it, we've had a flea infestation. That's enough to make me vigilant. Bloody itchy things:mad:
