Dogs usually take medicine for fighting worms once every three months, and puppies six months ago take once a month. When using deworming medicine for dogs, do it when the dog is in good physical condition. At the same time, the owner also needs to strictly control the deworming time to avoid causing the dog to get sick. It is a normal reaction for the dog to have listlessness and a small amount of diarrhea after taking the medicine for killing insects two hours before or after the dog eats the meal.

Tips for deworming dogs:

1. Eat at the correct age. Deworming can only be done when the puppy is about 3 months old, because the deworming medicine has a certain degree of toxicity, and it is easy to cause damage to the body if it is too young.

2. Strictly control the dosage. It is necessary to determine the dosage according to the drug instructions and the weight of the puppy. Excessive dosage will lead to drug poisoning, which may be life-threatening in severe cases.

3. Choose the correct anthelmintic. A good deworming drug must be able to drive away the parasites in the intestinal tract, and at the same time, it should not have a bad reaction to the pet, and the pet should also like it.

4. Fasting is required after taking the medicine. The use of deworming medicine is relatively simple, just feed it directly into the dog's mouth. If the dog vomits out, you can put it in the dog food bowl and let it eat by itself. At the same time, it is also best for the owner to feed the dog 3-4 hours after the meal, and not let the dog eat for 5-6 hours after taking the medicine, so as to ensure the effective effect of the medicine. You can take Wang Yizhi to reduce the burden on the stomach.
