Worms - Dogs and Cats

Most pet owners are aware that our pets can harbour worms in their intestines, but not everyone is aware of the consequences of these worm burdens.

Roundworms affect all animals, e.g. dogs have dog worms and cats have cat worms.

Unfortunately, worm eggs can pass to other species such as man, and if ingested can migrate to parts of the body such as the back of the eye causing serious problems. Although this is very rare we can easily prevent it by worming our pets routinely every 3 to 4 months. This is especially important if there are children in the house.
