How to choose a dewormer for your dog?

The health of our four-legged friends is paramount.

But during a simple walk, your dog can become ill by circulating in an infected environment. It is enough that it is in contact with a soiled matter and even quite simply another dog carrying worms to be in turn infected.

Fortunately, a few simple actions can prevent or cure a worm infection.

NATURAL DEWORMER FOR DOGS

What is a dewormer and what is it used for?

A dewormer is a drug given orally to a dog to eliminate worms and intestinal parasites. Its action is immediate: the dewormer eliminates parasites the moment it enters the animal's body, so it is not a treatment that can protect a dog over time.

What are the signs of infection in dogs?

There are several types of worms that cause several types of symptoms.

However, as a general rule, certain signs should alert such as vomiting, diarrhea or weight loss.

Also remember to observe your dog's stool from time to time, if it is contaminated, you will find white worms or forms of grains of rice.

Which dewormer for my dog?

If the administration of the dog dewormer is done in the classic way, that is to say every three months in an adult dog and without health problems, the best will be to choose a broad-spectrum dewormer. The latter will be able to fight against all types of worms such as roundworms and tapeworms.

On the other hand, if your dog suffers from health problems, it will be better to call the veterinarian. The latter may possibly carry out a stool analysis to find the type of parasite in question and thus treat it with the corresponding dewormer.

Remember to administer to your dog a quantity of dewormer in relation to its weight so that it is effective and does not represent a danger to the health of your animal.

Finally, avoid providing poor quality food to your dog. The more your animal is fed with quality products, the more its immunity will be stimulated and able to fight parasites on its own.

How to administer the dewormer?

For a puppy, deworming is essential. Indeed, at this age, his immune system is not fully operational. This is why it is better to deworm your puppy as soon as it arrives in its new habitat and then at a regular frequency every month for six months.

When he is an adult, the deworming is carried out every three months.

Many dogs resent having to ingest medication. You can give him his dewormer by placing it inside a piece of cheese or using a specially designed paste.

Finally, it is best to administer the dewormer early in the morning before the meal. Thus, you will be able to ensure the good state of health of your animal during the day and also limit the risk of diarrhea sometimes resulting from taking the treatment.
