Proper external and internal deworming is very important for maintaining the health of our dogs. However, many people are still unaware of this information and wonder if it is really beneficial to deworm their animals every month for this reason. In this video by an animal expert in collaboration with the Deworm your Pet campaign, we will detail the five most important reasons why you should deworm your dog every month. Don't miss it. One allows you to effectively control fleas and ticks. Although these parasites tend to be more common during hot weather, the truth is that we can find them all year round. Why should we avoid them? It's very simple. Fleas and ticks feed on the dog's blood and carry serious diseases that they transmit to the animal when they bite it. Fleas can transmit some intestinal parasites, such as tapeworms or flatworms, and ticks can transmit diseases such as bavasiosis, ehrlichiosis, or Lyme disease. If left untreated, some of these diseases can end a dog's life. In addition, serious infections with these parasites can cause anemia, especially in puppies. Monthly deworming can prevent and control infestations by these parasites. That's why it's so important to do it, since second, it prevents potentially fatal parasitic diseases. Deworming not only protects dogs against external parasites, it also controls the appearance of internal parasites such as lungworm and heartworm. Heartworm, or filaria, enters the dog through a mosquito that contains it in its mouth organs and introduces it into the body through a bite. Once infested, the animal presents symptoms such as coughing, exercise intolerance, or fainting. This worm is located in the pulmonary arteries and ultimately in the heart and can cause the animal's death. Lungworm affects the respiratory system and enters the dog's body by eating infested snails or slugs or through the secretions of these small animals. The main symptoms are coughing and difficulty exercising. 3. Avoid the spread of gastrointestinal parasites the most common gastrointestinal parasites in dogs are roundworms, flatworms, whipworms, and hookworms, although they are not the only ones. In general, these parasites can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, which may be accompanied by blood, in some cases, weight loss, vomiting, or a swollen belly. Some may present respiratory signs, and others, such as whipworms and hookworms, can cause severe anemia that can lead to death. Some of these worms can also be transmitted to humans, especially children. For this reason, experts recommend that dogs at high risk, such as those living with children, those that access parks and gardens or dogs in communities be dewormed monthly against these parasites. 4 It is especially important for puppies. Puppies can suffer from an infestation of gastrointestinal worms through their mother or even be born already parasitized. For this reason, it is recommended that they be dewormed frequently during the first weeks of life until weaning occurs. Once weaned, the veterinarian will establish an adequate deworming plan. On the other hand, external parasites can also transmit the aforementioned diseases to puppies, although in these cases the chances of death are greater. 5 It keeps the whole family healthy. Monthly deworming can prevent the spread of certain zoonotic diseases, especially in young children. For this reason, consulting with the veterinarian about the best antiparasitic product is essential to guarantee the health of all members of the family.
