What is Deworming?
Deworming is the process of eliminating intestinal parasites such as roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms that can affect a dog’s health.

Why Regular Deworming is Important
Worm infestations can cause weight loss, vomiting, diarrhoea, and lethargy. Some parasites are also transmissible to humans, making regular deworming essential.
Deworming Schedule for Dogs
Puppies are typically dewormed every two weeks until 12 weeks of age, then monthly until six months. Adult dogs should be dewormed at least every three months.
