If you’re reading this, you’re likely looking for clarification and reassurance when it comes to safeguarding your dog against nasty parasites. Parasitic worms are not only unpleasant – they can also be dangerous…to your dog and to your family.
In this article we’ll share key information about the benefits of dog worming tablets, and why they’re a smart yet simple solution over alternatives.
Let’s start by saying this; Dog worming tablets are widely recommended by Veterinarians globally, due to their high efficacy and the convenience of administration.
Dog worming tablets are a highly effective and convenient option for protecting against various types of worms. Their broad-spectrum coverage, ease of administration, and rapid action make them a popular choice among pet owners and veterinarians.
Here are five benefits of tablets as a form of protection against worms:
1. Dog worming tablets are easy to administer
Advancements in modern medicine means parasite control is easier than ever before. What used to be a bitter pill for your pet to swallow is now considered a treat!
Find a worming tablet that doubles as a tasty treat, making it an easy and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. MILPRO® Allwormer is highly palatable, with real liver flavour to aid acceptance. For the most discerning dogs who may have had unpleasant experiences with previous treatments, this tiny tasty tablet is sure to be devoured without hesitation.
2. One tasty tablet can offer broad spectrum coverage
Although not all dog wormers are broad spectrum, look for a Vet recommended brand like MILPRO® that’s designed to combat multiple types of worms, including roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, and tapeworm, including hydatids. When used monthly, MILPRO® also prevents heartworm.
Signs and symptoms of these different worm infestations vary, and the health risks range from mild to life threatening. For complete peace of mind, be sure to choose a comprehensive solution that safeguards your dog from all these nasties.
3. Dog worming tablets take effect almost immediately
Worming tablets typically start working within a few hours of administration. They kill worms by disrupting their biological functions, leading to their expulsion from the dog’s body through the digestive system. This rapid action helps alleviate symptoms quickly and reduces the risk of further complications.
4. They can treat as well as prevent worm infestations
In addition to treating existing infestations, many worming tablets also offer preventive benefits. Regular administration according to a schedule recommended by your Veterinarian can help protect your dog from future worm infections, especially if your dog is at high risk due to environmental factors or lifestyle.
5. Dog worming tablets have proven efficacy
Many worming tablets have been extensively tested and have a proven track record of safety and efficacy. MILPRO® is one such brand – consisting of active ingredients, milbemycin oxime and praziquantel – that’s recommended by Veterinarians and is trusted by countless Pet Owners across Australia to keep their dogs healthy.
Why worming tablets are a simple yet effective solution over alternatives:
Oral medications are particularly convenient for households with more than one pet. Their tasty tablets can be given at the same time to ensure full coverage without any hassle. What’s more, a trusted dog worming tablet like MILPRO® is available in different sizes, so you can start giving it to puppies as young as 2 weeks of age and 0.5kg body weight.
Other alternative dog worming has its challenges. Injectable solutions can be more expensive than a tasty tablet form. Plus, dogs who aren’t keen on visiting the Vet for the treatment undergo unnecessary stress.
Another alternative is a topical treatment – where a liquid solution is applied directly to the dog’s skin, usually at the back of the neck. It’s important in this instance to ensure the liquid is properly absorbed into their skin. This means being mindful not to wash your dog or have them get wet before the solution has time to enter their bloodstream.
A dog worming tablet such as MILPRO® offers worming without the fuss!
Regardless of what dog worming treatment you prefer, what’s imperative is that you consider your dog’s age, weight, overall health and lifestyle. When it comes to frequency of treatment, puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs all have specific requirements.
For answers to pet parasite FAQs or for more specific recommendations for your pet, always consult with a Veterinarian who can determine the most appropriate worming protection based on your dog’s specific needs.
