Well, then in point of fact, you're not following my book at all, you're following the bozos on PedsOnline who use Zimectrin Paste, etc., which "catch-all wormers" contain combinations of ingredients that are NOT properly-dosed for a dog, I agree. Which is why I do not use these products at all and have never recommended that anyone else do either.

ARRG!
Well, here again, you are likewise not following my book at all ... since I recommend not going to a feed store for your products ... but instead I recommend ordering better, cheaper, specific products from vet catalogues directly ... who send these products to your door ... thereby saving yourself the time and expense, not to mention enabling you to control the dosages better.

Furthermore, if your time is so valuable, I don't see how you're "saving" any time by going to a feed store (ignoring my book) ... and then giving DE every single day for a month (which takes still more time) ... whereas doing it my way you only have to dose ONCE a month. So, really, you're not making any sense here at all. You're just falsely-claiming you followed my book (when you clearly did not), and you're falsely-claiming to save time (when clearly you are not) ... all so that you can 'avoid' giving your dogs dog a chemical ... which, here again, you are NOT.

Because this brings us to my other point (that you failed to address at all), namely that the ivermectin is THE harshest chemical of all ... and you still have to give that to your dogs, regardless. So I am not sure how are saving anything at all here ... neither time, nor effort, nor expense, nor avoiding the use of chemical wormers.

What you're doing is fooling yourself, nothing more.
