It’s important that we don’t wait to see signs of worms or ill health before worming our dogs. Regular worming is part of responsible dog ownership to protect our pets, ourselves and others. How often a dog should be wormed depends on a number of different factors. Experts recommend treating dogs for intestinal worms at least four times a year. However, more frequent treatment may be needed in certain cases, for example if you have children, if there are pregnant women, elderly or immunosuppressed individuals in the home, or if your dog has had fleas. Always follow the advice of your pet healthcare professional who can recommend the frequency that works for your dog’s circumstances.
