Veterinarians recommend that adult dogs and cats living in the house should be wormed at least four times a year for optimal protection. Puppies and kittens are wormed more often in the first few months. What if you don't want to worm unnecessarily, what can you do?
Worms are often not directly, because the symptoms only occur if the worm is mature (usually around a month or six). These signs help you identify worms, so you can go on in time to worm your dog.
Heartworm can be difficult to identify if you are unfamiliar with the symptoms of an infection. Your dog may be extra tired or lack appetite one day and be sick the next. It is therefore important to know the warning signs of major health problems such as heartworm.
