Levamisole is often used for other livestock such as cattle. There's a great belief out there that "If it worked for my cow it must also work for my dog, cat, horse and echidna". This is not always teh case, especially with cats and horses.

Each worming product will have a different duration of activity. Most will recomend worming every 6 to 8 weeks, as a preventative. Alternatively you can get your vet to run a diagnostic check for worms, as if you rotate pasture regularly and there's very little poo in the pasture there may be a low worm burden and less need to treat. It depends a lot on your local area's temperature, rainfall, soil type etc. As usual, the best person to ask specifically is your local vet.
