Any Q

How often should I treat my dog for worms? At least every three months. Depending on your pet's lifestyle, more regular worming may need to be undertaken and it is recommended this be discussed with your vet if you are concerned.


Do indoor dogs need deworming?

Currently, we recommend monthly deworming for all dogs in the summer months. If we have milder winters or if you have very young children, we may recommend deworming monthly all year round. There are several other types of parasitic worms as well (hookworms, whipworms). This is where the fecal test can be useful.

Is deworming necessary for dogs every month?

As a matter of fact, puppies and young dogs should be dewormed when they reach their 21-30 days of age. This means they should be dewormed at least once every month until they're three months old. After that, they can be dewormed once in every two months until they are 6 months old.

What happens if you don't deworm your dog?

Weakness – this can also be a sign of other problems, as well as a sign of a large worm infestation. Weight loss – again, this can be a sign of a multitude of different problems, but also a sign of a large worm infestation. Worms steal nutrition from the host, which can lead to weight loss in your pet.

Do I need to regularly worm my dog?

Pets should be wormed every month up to 6 months of age, then 4 times a year after that for Roundworm and Tapeworm. Lungworm treatment for dogs needs to be done monthly. Worming treatments can either be done at home or by the vet in the practice.
