Wow, tapeworm rip off...

Post by snips » Thu Mar 21, 2013 9:08 am

All these years we have paid LOTS for Droncit and equilivant dewormers for Tapeworms...Recently found out about Iverhart Max that provides Heartworm, deworm, and Tapeworm all in one for little over 4.00 a pill...I ordered it online and they fax a Scrip to my vet to sign and thats it!!!
That just tells u what a rip off Droncit has been all these years...Actually, it was my vet that told me about it...

Shop around online for FishTapes (Thomas Labs). Combine it with a dose of Ivomec or Safeguard and it's even cheaper parasite control.

We've been using Iverhart Plus... Does anyone know the difference between the "Max" and the "Plus"?

The diffrence is Iverheart Max has Praziquantal (sp) for tapes :) You can buy OTC praziquantal for puppies and kittens at most any pet store also. It only does the flea tapeworm, but that is usually all you would need.

Praziquantal is a wide spectrum cestodicide; it's other parasiticides like fenbendazole that have limited effectivness :)

I am not sure u guys understand what I posted. These pills cost under 5.00 for one dose, covers a 50+ size dog, and heartworm treatment, and deworms. U cannot buy fishzole for near that price.
