How do I deworm my pet?

There are a few options you can choose from that all work as a dewormer: an edible chew, a shot, or a topical solution. Many of these medications are described as broad-spectrum, meaning they can treat a wide range of parasites. To learn more, book an appointment with us to ensure your pet gets the best treatment.

How often should I deworm my pet?

Deworming should be a constant routine throughout your pet's life. This process is the most important during the puppy or kitten stage as they can sometimes contract worms from their mother's milk. Therefore, it is recommended they get dewormed at 8,10, and 12 weeks of age, then monthly until they are about 6-months-old. Following that, your pet's deworming schedule will depend on their lifestyle habits and environmental situations.
