Dog Worm Tablets FAQs

What types of worms do I need to protect my dog from?

Many different types of gastrointestinal worms can infect your dog. In Australia, the most common are hookworms, roundworms, whipworms, flea tapeworms, hydatid tapeworms and heartworms. Not every dog wormer treats all of them, with heartworms in particular often requiring a specialised dog worming tablet or treatment. These gastrointestinal worms are the most deadly (and preventable) of them all, so make sure you invest in a heartwarming product from us today.

How often should I give worming tablets to my dogs?

The best time to give your dogs worming tablets depends on a variety of factors, including their age, health, and lifestyle. It is important to ensure a regular and consistent worming schedule in order to effectively manage and prevent various types of worms that can affect your dogs. The following are the recommended worming intervals for various dog ages:

• Puppies: Puppies require more frequent worming to ensure their well-being. Worming should typically begin at two weeks of age and continue every two weeks until they reach twelve weeks of age.
