JULY IS WORM MONTH!
Easy to forget, simple to apply
We know it's easy to forget to regularly worm your pet throughout the year, but because worming treatments only kill the worms in your pet at the time of dosing and do not act like a vaccine, it is vital to keep up a regular worming routine.
It's not just your pets at risk
Dogs and cats infected with worms pose a potential threat to your family - especially children. Because of the close bond we share with our animals, some of the gastrointestinal worms that affect your pet can be transmitted to humans with potentially devastating effects. Children are particularly at risk as they can easily come in contact with worm larvae that can penetrate skin, causing serious scarring and inflammation. Or, in the worst cases, the larvae can cause more serious problems such as blindness.
It's crucial that you continue to worm your pets
That's why we are focussing on raising awareness of the need to worm through Worm Month.
Worm Month is devoted to reminding you about the importance of worming all year round to give your pets the best healthcare and protection for the whole family. We know that worming your pets with tablets can be frustrating, difficult and downright painful. It puts you and your pet through unnecessary stress and discomfort. That's why we can now offer you the latest breakthroughs in stress-free worming for your pets. Modern worming treatments are extremely effective and easy to apply - so easy, you can even administer them at home. Come and visit the practice now to hear more about the stress-free ways to protect your entire family from the dangers of worms.
