Pet Stories: The Importance of Deworming
Why Deworming Matters Many dog deworming treatments are like part of the family - which they are! But one thing lots of pet parents overlook is internal parasite prevention. Even healthy-looking dogs can host worms that steal nutrients, cause health problems, and even pass germs onto humans. According to vets, deworming is more than just a check-box in pet care - it’s vital. Here are some key reasons why: Worms such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms can cause fatigue, weight loss, digestive upset, even anemia in dogs. Puppies are especially vulnerable: they can be born with worms passed from the mother, or pick them up early in life. Many of these parasites carry a zoonotic risk - that means they can affect humans too (especially kids or immunocompromised individuals). Regular deworming breaks the life-cycle of parasites, prevents reinfections, and supports long-term pet health. Real-Life Story: Meet Bella & Max Bella, a 2-year-old Labradoodle, seemed perfect...
