Dog Warden Service
Why Worm Your Dog?
Because roundworms can affect any dog at any age, causing
sickness and diarrhoea in young animals, although adult dogs may
show no symptoms. In rare cases, roundworm larvae can cause
eye damage to children. Worming your dog is easy, effective
and costs very little.
What To Do
Adult dogs should be wormed every six months.
Expectant bitches with young puppies should be wormed more
frequently, so should puppies before and after they are
weaned. The dose required depends on your dog’s weight.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If in
doubt, always ask your veterinary surgeon for advice.
Where to Obtain Worming Treatments
You can get worming treatments from your chemist, pet shop and,
of course, your vet.
