Summary

• Deworming has become a polarizing topic,
  particularly because many pet owners happen to
  disagree on how often they should deworm pets.
• Worms being the major culprits in our dogs
  lives, VetSupply has decided to clear the air on
  the deworming frequency of your pet to keep them
  free of these blood-sucking parasites. 
• But before we shed light on this debated topic,
  lets walk through some of the basics of
  deworming pets.

Deworming Treatments for Cats and Dogs
If you have a pet, you may have heard about the
threats of gastrointestinal worms from other pet
owners or from your vet about the importance of
deworming treatments. The common gastrointestinal
worms that affect our pets include roundworms,
hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms.
Anthelmintics (deworming treatments) are used to
get rid of these worms. These deworming
treatments come in the form of tablets, capsules, 
granules, chewables, topical and oral
suspensions.

How often should you deworm your cat or dog?
The frequency at which you should deworm your pet
depends on a lot of factors. In fact, different
sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs will need
different approaches, as discussed further below.
1 - Depending on the size
When it comes to deworming frequency, the size of
the dog makes no big difference. The frequency of
deworming is determined more by
the environment, age of the dog, living
conditions, and veterinarian recommendations,
rather than the size of the individual
dog. However, the size of the pet is essential
while choosing the size of the dewormer. You will
find different packs with different compositions
of a dewormer treatment varied by the weight or
the size of your pet. It is essential to choose
the right dosage for your pet, so if needed, do
not hesitate to consult your vet regarding the
same.

2 - Deworming puppies and kitten
You might be surprised to know that puppies and
kittens are born with worms and, hence, they
should be dewormed early. If failed to do so,
they can spread worm eggs that will contaminate
the soil and re-infect them. Puppies kittens
should be dewormed every 2 weeks, starting from 2
weeks of age to 3 months of age, and then
dewormed monthly until 6 weeks of age. On the
other hand, adopted puppies and kittens should
be dewormed immediately. If you adopt a pet from
an animal shelter or adoption home, ask them if
they have already dewormed the pet or not.

3 - Deworming adult cats and dogs
As discussed earlier, the frequency of deworming
depends on a lot of factors. If you live in a
low-risk area or your pet doesnt get out of the
house to interact with other pets very often,
deworming may not be essential during winters
when the ground freezes. It should be noted that
dewormers should never be used unless necessary,
so during winter, your vet will only recommend
deworming if your pet shows symptoms of worms
such as diarrhoea vomiting. On the other hand,
if you live in a high-risk area where worms
thrive, it becomes essential to deworm your adult
dog or cat regularly every 3 months.

4 - Deworming Pregnant Pets
Now that you know that puppies and kittens are
born with worms, you should also keep in mind
that deworming pregnant pets can decrease the
number of worms passed to the young. Admittedly,
deworming medication does not kill hookworms and
roundworms that have become encysted within the
mothers muscle tissues.

Does your pet need deworming throughout its life?

• Your pet needs deworming for tapeworms
  throughout their life, whereas the same is not
  necessary in the case of roundworms and hookworms
  because tapeworms live only in the intestines of
  pets, and hence, the pets immune system doesnt
  recognize them as foreign bodies and doesnt make
  antibodies against it.
• As a result, pets develop no immune response to
  repeated tapeworm infections. However, you can
  control tapeworms by preventing the fleas which
  transmit them.
• Some of the best flea treatments are Nexgard
  Chewables, Revolution, Bravecto Chews,
  and Advantage.
• The Final Word
• Make sure to prevent the annoying worms from
  attacking your pet through effective deworming
  treatments like Drontal, Popantel, Milbemax, and m
  any more available in the market. You can also
  get them at discounted rates with free shipping
  from an online pet store like VetSupply.
