Regular deworming of your dog is essential to ensure their well-being and prevent infections caused by parasites that can affect their health, causing discomfort and diseases.

Parasites not only cause discomfort but can trigger serious health problems such as infections, skin irritations, allergic reactions, and can even damage internal organs.

Additionally, there are zoonotic parasites, meaning they can be transmitted to humans, making it even more important to keep your dog parasite-free.

TYPES OF PARASITES:

• Internal parasites: They live in the animal's digestive tract (worms and tapeworms).
  • Common symptoms:
    • Diarrhea.
    • Vomiting.
    • Anemia.
    • Weight loss.
    • Fatigue.
• External parasites: They live on the animal's coat or skin (fleas, ticks, lice, and mites).
  • Common symptoms:
    • Intense itching or excessive scratching.
    • Skin irritation.
    • Wounds.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DEWORM YOUR DOG?

Puppies:

• First deworming at 2 weeks of age (between the first 21 or 30 days of life).
• Then every 2 weeks until 12 weeks of age.
• From 12 weeks, monthly deworming is recommended until 6 months of age.

Adults:

• Deworm at least every 3 months as part of a regular routine.

Pregnant females:

• It is essential to deworm them before giving birth to prevent parasite transmission to puppies.
• During lactation, regular deworming should continue to protect both the mother and puppies.
  

TYPES OF ANTIPARASITICS:

Internal antiparasitics:

• Tablets: Oral pills that act within a few hours after administration, helping to expel intestinal parasites.
  
• Paste: Paste formula that facilitates administration either directly or mixed with food to treat the infection.
  
• Drops: Liquid format administered orally, helping to eliminate intestinal parasites.
  
• Injection: Dose administered by the veterinarian, ideal for dogs that have difficulty taking pills.
  

External antiparasitics:

• Collars: Prolonged protection against parasites, ideal for continuous protection of your dog.
  
• Lotions and sprays: Act quickly and immediately, useful when the dog already has parasites or to reinforce protection before going to an area with higher parasite exposure risk.
  
• Spot-ons: Highly effective liquid ampoules applied to the skin that prevent parasite infection.
  
• Shampoo: Helps clean and protect infected dogs by eliminating external parasites.
