I read an article on Natural worm prevention. Thought I would pass this along.

Combine these alcohol -free tinctures:
2 parts marshmallow root
3 parts chamomile
Squirt this right into the mouth once or twice daily, between meals.

Also, add to each cup of food at every meal:
a pinch of granulated garlic
1 tbsp of ground, fresh raw pumpkin seeds
(you can get them at health food stores and gring them in your coffee grinder)

It says this is an added measure against worms and can be used long term. It also says that use in pregnant animals should be avoided or limited to tea forms only(the chamomile)
It also pointed out that although Chamomile is one of the safest herbs out there, some animals and people are allergic to it. To check for sensitivity before feeding ...apply a small amount of the preparation to your dogs skin. If no redness or other reactions are seen within a couple of hours, feed just a drop or two and monitor for anything out of the ordinary.

i will have to try what you have listed it sounds great. im really into the natural remedies for my pets.

not only is garlic great for worms it will keep the fleas away too.
also on the de-worming you can give your pets one black walnut hull capsule. you can find this at mostly any health food store. i guess african tribes use it to rid themselves of parasites. we use it on our dogs and do not have any problems with it. just open the capsule and sprinkle it over their food.

The article was on Chamomile but they mentioned the black walnut as being a stronger solution as well.
