Hookworms prevention
A regular preventative de-worming cycle is
encouraged for all healthy pets. It is recommended that you check
the efficacy of de-worming medicines carefully as they are not
equal, and may target different species of parasitic worms.
To reduce the chance of re-infection and infection to humans:
• Monthly prevention meds for pets
• Wash your hands thoroughly at all times
• Keep your environment clean
• Don’t walk barefoot on grass that have been exposed to feces
• Wash hands after handling pets as fecal matter can be on coat
surface and contain eggs
Your best value is
to buy a 12 or 24 month supply from large internet wholesalers that
specialize in filling pet prescriptions in bulk. You can usually
save an extra 10% or more by filling an order over a prescribed
dollar amount.
