Loading ...“I’ve got worms!” That came out wrong. What I meant to say was, “I was assigned the pet worms and pet parasite category.” Worms are parasites that live off the host and are more common in pets than humans think. There are lots of different kinds of worms/parasites that can invade your pets. Here’s a short list of common parasitic worms:
- Roundworms
- Hookworms
- Tapeworms
- Whipworm
- The Dreaded Heartworms
Deworming pets should be a regular occurrence. Tapeworm Tabs for dogs and Tapeworm Tabs for cats by Trade Winds work very well and is very safe. Tapeworm tabs are also inexpensive. Keep those creepy, crawly squirmy worms away from your pets and use a dewormer! Now after you use the dewormer, your job’s not over. The primary vector for tapeworms (ie the way that your dog or cat gets infected with tapeworms) is the flea. So your pet gets tapeworms by accidentally eating an infected flea. To prevent this you will need to use a monthly flea preventive like Frontline, Advantix, or Program. Otherwise your pet is going to get infected again sooner or later. Here’s some other commonly used dewormers.
