Protect Your Pet from Parasites

It is a common affliction in household pets. Our little friends can become afflicted with a whole list of parasitic worms. These cannot only make our pets feel unwell but can also affect humans - in some rare cases causing serious health consequences.

For pets in the UK, it is the roundworm, otherwise known as Toxocara, and the tapeworm or E. Granulosus that pose the greatest risk to their owners. Unless you can keep your pet indoors constantly you will struggle to keep your pet out of contact with both these parasite nasties. The only method of reliable control is to worm your pet on a regular basis using recommended worming products such as Drontal.

If you travel frequently with your pets they will also become exposed to a wider range of parasites. Again, worming treatments such as Drontal are your only means of prevention. You are legally required to worm all dogs and cats that travel. This is in place not only to protect your pet from infection but also to prevent the spread of parasites from abroad across the UK.

There are other types of worms that can be prevented if the animal is not exposed to a likely source of infection. If you ensure your pet cat does not have fleas and you will reduce the risk of him catching the Dipylidium tapeworm for example. However a good worming tablet will provide that added security and provide effective protection against all parasites.
