Anthelmintic Therapy - how to keep your puppy worm-free

Puppy anthelmintic therapy (deworming) is essential to keeping your pet healthy and happy. This type of therapy is used to prevent and treat parasitic infections caused by intestinal worms. It is an important part of a puppy’s health care regimen, as these parasites can cause serious health problems if left untreated. 

The anthelmintic therapy typically involves the administration of a medication that kills the parasites. This medication is usually given orally, but may also be given topically or injected. It is important to follow the instructions of your veterinarian when administering the medication, as different types of worms require different medications. 

The most common type of intestinal worms seen in puppies are roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. These parasites can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, dehydration, and other serious health problems. In some cases, untreated parasites can even be fatal. Anthelmintic therapy for dogs is often combined with other treatments to ensure that the puppy is free of parasites. This may include deworming medications, flea and tick control, and regular fecal exams.
