• Internal parasites are frequently found in dogs
  and cats and usually cause pain, itching (in the
  hind region) and loss of appetite, eventually
  deteriorating their overall health.
• The most common ones that cause these problems
  include hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, and
  tapeworms. You can easily find tapeworms and
  roundworms through naked eyes if you pay close
  attention to the stools or the hind area of the
  pet, especially, when the infestation is heavy.

• Moreover, puppies and kittens generally carry
  roundworms because these worms easily get
  transferred to the babies from a pregnant mother
  during birthing or feeding process.
• Thus, it is extremely important for all pet
  owners to de-worm their baby dogs and cats
  immediately after 2 weeks of their birth. And,
  the process must be continued every two weeks
  until 6 months. Besides, larger dogs and cats
  must also be wormed every 6 months to ensure
  complete protection against intestinal worms.
• Worms can occur at any point in time in pets,
  thus it is essential to safeguard them in
  advance. However, it is equally very necessary to
  choose the correct product to achieve the desired
  results else the whole process would be of no
  use. Here are some tips you must follow when
  choosing the worming product for your pet.

Choosing The Correct Dewormer

• With plenty of options in the market, it really
  becomes hard for us to choose that one product
  that will do the work perfectly without causing
  any complications.
• However, considering certain things before
  zeroing in upon one product will help you
  settling up for the best one of all for your pet.

6
First Check the parasites it treats

• There is a varied range of dewormers in the
  market. Some of them might just treat one
  category of worms while the others may treat all
  kinds of intestinal worms. Before purchasing any
  product, it is therefore important to read the
  label thoroughly.
• Certain products are broad spectrum and kill
  internal as well as external parasites like
  fleas, ticks, and even ear mites. Opting for such
  drugs will definitely be a better deal as they
  give all-round protection. However, again it
  depends on the infestation. Although there are
  also drugs that specifically treat intestinal
  worms, going for broad-spectrum ones will
  actually help you save a lot of money, besides
  giving added protection.

Second Always check the method of administration

• Pets can be restless and thus it can be really
  tricky to apply or feed the treatment. Therefore,
  before choosing a product, you must always go
  with the one that will be easier to administer.
• In case the dog is fidgety and doesnt sit still
  when you try to apply something to his body, it
  is better to go with the oral drug. In fact, pets
  that have the habit of licking themselves quite
  often must be rather administered oral tablets or
  chews than topicals /spot-on to save from
  spending on e-collar. Whereas in case he is
  choosy about what goes into his mouth, the
  topical product would be the best.

Third Efficacy of the product   

• Though nobody can actually learn whether the
  product will suit their pet or not unless they
  try it on their pets themselves, you can still go
  through the customer reviews on various pet
  sites.
• Their feedback can help a great deal in making up
  your mind.

Fourth Know the side-effects in advance

• Treatments are nothing but chemicals and they
  might have side-effects too. This doesnt mean
  they arent safe. There are very rare cases in
  which the chemicals in the drug may react with
  the pets system however, it is still advisable
  to better check the ingredients beforehand.
• Some products may contain ingredients which may
  cause allergy in your pet. So, it is wise to know
  the product completely rather than repenting
  later.

Fifth Do not use the products interchangeably

• Always make sure you administer a dog product to
  dogs and cat product to cats. Never even try to
  use a cat product on your dog or a dog product in
  your cat because they may have ingredients that
  might be toxic to the other species.
• Here are some of the most popular products deemed
  as highly effective for deworming and treating
  parasites in pets. You can choose either of these
  according to the requirement of your pet. But,
  remember to follow the aforementioned tips.
