worming
We are not Veterinarians. You, as the owner, are bound to care for your puppy/dog by seeking Veterinary care promptly when needed. We encourage you to speak to your Vet if you are at all concerned about the health of your puppy/dog. If at any time you are in doubt about any health situation or EMERGENCY you find yourself and your pet in, CONTACT YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY!
Intestinal parasites are common in all puppies. Roundworms are present in almost all puppies when they are born.
Puppies can become infected with parasites before they are born or later through the mother's milk. Your pup has been wormed every two weeks from the age of three weeks. From 7 weeks of age our puppies/dogs are wormed once a month with Sentinel Spectrum Tasty Chews for Heartworm, Roundworm, Hookworm, Whipworm & Tapeworm, & prevents & controls fleas and is due for the next dose at the age of 11 weeks. Thereafter we recommend that your puppy/dog is wormed every month for the rest of the pup's life.
It is important that the medication is repeated since usually it is only the adult worms that are killed.
Tapeworms are the most common intestinal parasites of dogs. Puppies become infected with them when they swallow fleas; the eggs of the tapeworm live inside the flea. When the puppy chews or licks its skin as a flea bites, the flea may be swallowed. The flea is digested within the dog's intestine; the tapeworm hatches and then anchors itself to the intestinal lining. Therefore, exposure to fleas may result in a new infection; this can occur in as little as two weeks, so please keep your puppy flea free.
Kazkiri puppies are wormed with Interceptor Spectrum which is a once a month meaty chew for the prevention of heartworm disease and control of adult roundworm, immature roundworm, adult whipworm, adult hookworm and tapeworm in dogs.
