This is the only product we are aware of that has both these active ingredients in one easy to administer chewable liver flavored table.  If you have trouble keeping weight on your dog during season give this product a try

Bird Dog Wormers that Work:

     Panacur Powerpac Equine Dewormer 5-57g Tubes

The best known and most widely used cure for all of the intestinal worms a working dog is exposed to.  When you get it from your vet it is expensive and difficult to use.  Simply give 1/3 of 1 tube 3 days in a row in the back of the throat when food isn't present on your dog's stomach.  Treat your dog once a month to keep its intestines free of intestinal worms during hunting season with

     Virbac Yard Spray Concentrate 16 Oz

Many of the reliable insecticide sprays of old have been removed from the market in recent years.  If you are of the opinion that it is important to protect yourself and your dog from the threats of diseases carried by ticks and mosquitoes you might want to give this a try.  The disposable hose-end sprayer is easy to use

      Vet Solutions Ear Cleansing Solution 16 Oz

Most ear problems encountered by working dogs are not caused by mites but rather by fungus.  Unfortunately most ear medications available are formulated for mites and actually make fungus problems worse.  If your dog has smelly or troublesome ears give this a try
