Worming

Pups and kittens may be born with a burden of roundworms passed from their mother in the womb or through the milk. The worm is called toxocara and can cause a disease in people called visceral larval migrans. Worming your new pet is very important to minimise disease in your pet and in very rare cases to yourself.

Nexgard spectra is a good alternative given monthly it covers fleas ticks lungworm and roundworm.

Recommendation

Dogs

• Pregnant bitches should be wormed with every day from day 40 of pregnancy until 2 days after birth with panacur suspension
• Pups should be wormed monthly with Milpro for 3 to 6 months depending on worm burdens, then every three months with an adult Milpro.
• Adult dogs need wormed for roundworm and tapeworm every 3 months with Milpro tablets. If you want effective lungworm cover spread by eating slugs/snails combined with cover for fleas and ticks in one easy palatable monthly palate you should consider monthly nexgard spectra
