    i would not risk it wormers do not cost that much and it will save you a vets bill when the gun powder burns your dog inside

    What??? Just think about this for a minute!
    Now No it is not safe and it doesn’t work either! It will poison the dog!
    If your dog needs worming then go to your vet and get some safe wormer!

    …NO…gun powder is more expensive than wormer anyway. Gun powder will eat away at the lining of your dogs stomach and kill him….

    Does it sound like it is safe?? Nope, take the poor dog to the vet and treat the worms properly.. You need to properly diagnose and then properly treat.. Otherwise you are neglecting your pet’s health… You could try the gun powder on your own self maybe.. At least then you know for future reference if it’s a good / intelligent idea to even consider..

    are you serious?????

    gun powder is not safe for anything ever

    look up some natural medicine or home remedies sites if you want RELIABLE ways to avoid paying $8 for worming tablets….they are not designed to give the dog diarrhea but to kill the worms with specific poisons.

    To start with there is gun powder and then there is gun powder. Do you have any idea what gun powder formula they had in mind?
    I would hate to be giving my dog black powder when they meant to use pyrex, or maybe 4895 smokeless, or maybe red dot shotgun powder.

    Have you checked the price of gun powder lately? They don’t sell it by the tea spoon you know.

    No it won’t kill the worms, the dog maybe, but not the worms.
    My rottie’s previous owner gave her gun power to make her mean..all it did was tear up her stomach to the point where she was vomiting blood.
    I’m sorry, but the person who told you that really needs to educate themselves…

    Ummmm…no, I would never use gun powder to worm my dog…would you want gun powder in your stomach? Probably not. I would take a fecal sample to your vet to see if your dog really does have worms, and they can treat him properly. Besides, if it doesn’t work (using gun powder, I mean), then you will have to go to the vet anyways, not only to worm the dog but also to have whatever issues feeding your dog gun powder may have caused.
