Intestinal Parasites

Lecture Notes

Keeping our animal's surroundings clean, and keeping them out of contaminated areas will go a long way in preventing parasites. There are also several convenient preventive medications available for intestinal worms. It is highly recommended to always use an FDA-approved product that is recommended by your veterinarian; some over-the -counter products have been shown to be less effective and to even cause harmful side effects. Furthermore, many of the products approved by veterinarians have the convenient feature of preventing more than one type of parasite.
