We know it’s easy to forget to regularly worm pets throughout the year. But because worming treatments only kill the worms in your pet at the time of dosing and do not act like a vaccine, it is vital to keep up a regular worming routine.Intestinal worms may cause diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anaemia and affect a puppy’s growth.  Roundworms, hookworms and whipworms are picked up from the dog’s environment, but many puppies may already be infected with roundworms when they are born or become infected when suckling from their mother. They can then pass worms on in their faeces – either reinfecting themselves or other dogs. Dogs may catch different tapeworms by either eating fleas or from eating uncooked offal.

Three steps to controlling intestinal worms:

1. Treat your dog for worms regularly – talk to your vet about the right product for your dog.

2. Pick up the droppings in your puppy’s environment regularly

3. Use regular flea treatment.

It’s crucial that you worm your pets regularly
