How much time between treatments?

My vet said they could also do a Droncit injection deworming for $29. Anyone have any experience with this shot?

LOL that makes it sound like my pups always have worms. Not so! I take in fosters and often have to deworm them

There is no prevention for tapeworms...if the dog ingests a flea they can end up with tapeworms.

It was the same way with Sammy a few months ago. No fleas and he never really goes any where so it was weird.
