Anthelmintics that humans eat cannot be given to dogs. Because the measurement is not well controlled, it is easy to be poisoned, which will lead to the death of the dog. Moreover, dogs are different from people in terms of absorption, so the process of medicine is also different. It is recommended that the owner feed the dog special deworming medicine for pets, and deworm the dog internally and externally on time. 3 months in vivo and 1 month in vitro (according to body weight). In vivo deworming generally prevents nematodes and roundworms. In vitro deworming generally prevents fleas, lice, mites, etc.

Precautions for dog deworming:

1. Time for deworming. For puppies, external deworming can be carried out at the age of 6 weeks (after weaning), while internal deworming can be carried out when the dog reaches the age of 8 weeks. If the dog is found to be infected with parasites during this period, remember to use the right deworming medicine. In addition, deworming and vaccination in the body need to be separated by a period of time, about 5-7 days, and both need to be carried out in a healthy state of the dog.

2. 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. Keep warm. During the period of deworming the puppy, take measures to keep warm, and do not bathe it, so as not to catch a cold.
