dog wormers

My husband picked up dog wormer at Walmart and was just wondering if it is just as safe and potent as what a vet would do. We are also planning to deworm all the cats and kittens too. On the box is says to continue deworming once a month. I would like anyone's opinion. Thank you, Stormi and company. :P

NEVERMIND, luckily I figured it out. The heartgard that the dogs are already on will take care of them, I have to find something for my cats to take. The reason I was asking is Marie my 6 months old kitten doesn't look like she is putting on weight like she should so my friend suggested that she might be wormy. I guess we will get her to the vet and try and get to the bottom of it. Stormi

Hi, Here's a tip for you.

I take fecal samples to the vet often (sigh I know I have no life) LOL
It cost 12 dollars for them to check and they tell you right away if the kitty or pup has worms, and if so what kind they are. A vet visit is usually 25 dollars and they would tell you to bring in a fecal sample the next time anyway. So that's a suggestion. The only thing with generic stuff bought at Walmart is it's in tablet form, the stuff supplied by vets is in liquid form and the pet can be dosed according to weight.

Good luck!
