Wormer question ,
I remember yrs ago when 1 of my grandads had fox hounds & the other had coon hounds they used a wormer called Tas or Task something like that don't remember seeing the bottle. They swore by it wondering if it's still around ? I've done a search on the net but don't see it , maybe if I knew the ingredients that may help or anyone on here know or ever remember it ?
Just come in from run'n , its hot but they tore it up , about 4 hrs of non stop live action yayayaya .

I used a lot of differeent wormers but now I just stick with drontal.... costs a bit more, studies conclude its incredibly safe for dogs and gets everything.

35 or 40 years ago, when I had foxhounds, I did use Task sometimes. It was also marketed as Atgard swine wormer. I believe that Atgard is still available. I did a google search for Task and Atguard and found some links with information. Hope this helps.

Watch how you use Atguard. It will get the worms. but it has been know to kill a dog or two
