If your pet has numerous worms, they may find it difficult to maintain body condition and can lose weight. In some cases, it can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and even anaemia (a low red blood cell level). Occasionally, heavy intestinal worm burdens can eventually cause death.

Worms sometimes have complex life-cycles which involve a period of existence and development outside your pet. Understanding the life-cycle of a specific worm is important so that strategies for treatment and prevention can be designed and implemented. For instance, some tapeworms need to pass through fleas to complete their life cycle, so flea prevention is an important method of controlling tapeworms.

Protect your cat from hookworm infections by following the proper worming routine suggested by our veterinarian. Keeping your pet and its environment clean is the first step to ensuring a healthy life for your pet. Our worming treatment program depends upon the level of infection that affected your cat. Schedule an appointment for hookworm treatment.

It’s important to maintain a routine worming treatment for your pets, to reduce the incidence of infection and to reduce environmental contamination. There are many worming treatments available for the various worm infections that occur in our pets. These are available as tablets, spot-ons or pastes. Re-infection is a common problem, particularly in pets that are in contact with a heavily-contaminated environment. Another important reason to worm your pets is to protect the family, as children in particular can be affected by certain dog and cat worms.
