Parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms can cause a wide range of health problems in dogs. Left untreated, these parasites may lead to digestive upset, nutrient loss, stunted growth in puppies, anemia, fatigue, and, in severe cases, even organ damage.

Some worms are also zoonotic, meaning they can pass from dogs to humans. Children are particularly at risk, which makes deworming not only essential for your pet’s health but also for the safety of your entire household. It’s not a one-time fix. It’s a vital part of your dog’s lifelong preventive healthcare.
