I guess it's all in the name of trying to save a little coin.

I.E. using an injectable bovine product or a paste equine product in dogs.

They aren't designed for dogs and can be detrimental to a dogs health.

Use the right product for your dog.

Sadie is my buddy. No way am I compromising her health over a few dollars.

This isn't directed at you bowtarist in any way.

Just commenting because I know lots of folks who do this.



The local vets around here use panacur paste (which is a horse wormer) as the main ingredient in the dog wormer they use and sell. They water it down, pour it in a blue bottle, and slap a label on it. All the ingredients are the same. I have had or been around dogs all my life and have never seen any harm or side effects from using any of the wormers above. It’s not about saving money although it does save money. I have done my research and seen first hand over the last 20 years. I wouldn’t give my dogs anything that I thought would harm them.

It’s about the same as vaccinating pups. You can buy the shot for $15 and give it yourself if you have done the research and know what you are doing or you can go to the vet and get charged $50-$75 to do the same thing.
