Puppy eating snails!
Discussion
Our 14 week old pup loves snails. She's covered by Advocate flea and lungworm treatment so the vet isn't worried but it's fecking grim!
1) Anything other than lungworm we should worry about?
2) Any advice on how to stop her, other than walking her on a lead in the garden or 'she'll grow out of it'? Wiping off snail trail from her chin is unpleasant to say the least!

Not sure if fundamentally slugs and snails are the same wrt parasites, but slugs carry/can carry a parasite which is lethal to dogs (and humans).
Absolutely this, both I think - Lungworm. And iirc, by the time the symptoms appear, it's too late.
We dose ours once a month to protect them, prescription needed though.

We do the same, she's covered against lungworm but is there anything else to worry about?And iirc, by the time the symptoms appear, it's too late.

And not a bulldog, she's a Cockapoo. Cute but (currently) dumb! Great family mutt tho.
