Befor you follow your vet you may want a second opinion of using wormer, of which you can find in www.cosmic1.net .It's a pet health site that've found an original solution for worm prob.

I do not think it's ever a good idea to use a website as a substitute for listening to a licensed vet that knows your pet personally. If a person wants a second opinion fine, go find another vet, in person.

I checked out that link about the wormer, I have a few problems with it...

1) According to it's own website 'A new revolutionary wormer' however under the ingredients area it says 'a known deworming medicine'. This seems contradictory to me, not to mention the fact it does not list this supposed 'known deworming medication' by name.

2) For both the dewormer and the food it only states it was made by 'top manufacturers who meet the highest standards'. No where does it list the actual companies involved. I'd be skeptical of a product hiding this information if they are such 'top manufacturers'. Also who's highest standards? What authorities approved this? Who is the veterinarian who helped formulate this stuff and is he still practicing and where? Any reliable company should be willing to put this information up front to back their 'claims'.

3) According to their own website 'The ingredients are specified on the package'. So in otherwords they want your money before you get to find out exactly what you are paying for. Sounds fishy to me.

4) I'd be leary of feeding any pet a food with such limited information as this one gives.

5) It's never a good idea to just randomly medicate your pet without having had a diagnosis first by a licensed vet! Giving pets medications for possibly the wrong illness can possibly cause further complications with what is really going on, AND make your vets job harder by having to deal with any medication you've used (that may/may not work) that may react with what your vet would like to use that will work.

6) The website states it gets 'all kinda of worms', however does not list them by name the ones it 'claims' to 'get'. Some worms/parasites can ONLY be found by a fecal examination under a microscope.

Honestly not only would I not feed this to any of my pets, but I would never recommend it to anyone in good concious either given the limited information or deliberate hiding of information on the site.
