Hi Jack, have found "Ivomec" to be the best treatment for Hooky's. They provided plenty of scientific experimental work, we will probably need to wait "X" number of years for a Pill solution?

Hookworms have a 14 day lifecycle - treating needs to be done every 14 days for at least 6 months. Monthly worming is a waste of time , using a correct dose of Ivomec RV works really well with NO long term health damage to the dogs.
Hooks can live in the ground for MANY years , the ground also needs to be treated.

What is the correct dose for Ivermec

Ted Ivomec has been used for sometime as a treatment for heartworm at a dose rate of 1ml/4kg.body weight.A word of caution. Overdosing can be harmful to your dogs. The active constituent is Ivermectin (0.8gr/lt.) This is the same product that some touted as a cure for Covid.A better product is Panacur. If you think there is a worm problem give 25ml to each dog for 3 days in a row. This product is much more gentle to the dog a nd you won't overdose at these high rates. The active is Fenbendazole (100gr./lt). Both these products have generics and are usually a bit cheaper but the actives are the same. With Panacur dont get the 2.5 only the 100. It is also beneficial to treat the ground as stated. Use a product called Bifenthrin (active 100gr./lt. bifenthrin). The product has many off the shelf names. Ask for the active. Dose rate is 250ml/100lts.water through a fairly high pressure sprayer giving the ground a pretty good coverage. This product also suitable for termite control and household pests. Hop this helps. Cheers

Correct dosage as to what strength the Ivomec is - some vets Reduce Volume as it is then safer if people get the dosage wrong. You need to ask the Vet that you purchase from to give you the correct dosage. My Vet used to make the RV so that we used 1 ml per 10 kg.

The correct dosage for Ivomec is based on the K9s weight so each dosage can be different + it must be mixed with a "local" as it can sting them quite a bit. Also Hookshot is a great hook wormer also available as far as I know of. Always keep your yards clean & be very careful where you let your K9 sniff the ground as its that easy to reinfest them.

Hookshot use to be the best Steve, lately Ive been looking into more natural ingredient for not only hookies but all worms. Theres a lot to investigate but Im sure theres something in it , just need to find it. Maybe some old time trainers may be able to shed some light. Sunlight soap, peppermint oil on their dinner, large quantities of garlick, horseradish, lemon juice. Come on fellas!. I know what my trainer uses. I trap wild dogs as part of my occupation and am always amazed at their vigour. Many dogs will have numerous white/shellback ticks fully engorged with no visual impact. Worms also play a major issue but are also somehow managed either by diet or DNA. I have been providing DNA samples for the measure of dingo in the breed and Im sure much more information could be utilised. Cheers
