Note: This product does not control Ringworm:

Ringworm is in fact not a worm, but a fungal complaint.
It manifested itself badly in the warm humid NSW climate that we  experienced last summer, and is easily identified by use of the Urine-Free Black Light. 
If your dog has ringworm, then we recommend you try Neem Oil shampoo or soap and/or Malaseb shampoo (call 02-9300 9390 to order). 
If the problems persists more than a week after treatment, then see your vet.
And it's infectious, so keep your dog away from other animals and kids till you are sure it is cleared up.
