Good worming advice
The exact degree of risk to your dog and all of his or her human friends varies depending on certain lifestyle factors. The staff at your veterinary
practice are trained to assess your pet’s individual situation and advise
you on an appropriate worming programme. Here are some guidelines that can
give you an idea of what is required:

assessing the likelihood of the dog to reacquire infection together with the risk of zoonotic transmission to man. |

For puppies under two months old ask
your vet about specific puppy wormers. Please ask your veterinary surgeon for more information about the best way to protect your dog and your family from worms. |
