Dog Worms

Most of the content on this page has been moved to my own .com, controlled, maintained and owned by me (Deb-Flowergardener) Yes, I created this original content on this page, but I really don't 'own' full control of it, because it is hosted on this wonderfully free platform called Squidoo. If I could have made it easier for my dog loving visitors, I certainly would have; but I'm not able to access the files necessary to perform a 301 redirect to my new website, Dogs and Worms!

When it comes to getting rid of dog worms, many people head straight for over-the-counter treatments, many of which are excessively harsh and often less than effective. I have to admit that I was a dog owner that also chose to use an over-the-counter dog worm medicine. Yes, they're cheaper; but no, they didn't work for me.

Conventional de-worming treatments are chemically based, whether you buy them over the counter or from your veternarian, and can be harmful to your dog in the long-term. Continual dog worms treatment with conventional over-the-counter products can also weaken your dog's immune system

Does My Dog Have Worms?

Symptoms of worms in dogs may include:
Gastrointestinal disturbances
Scratching, particularly around the base of the tail
Mild to severe coughing
Poor Appetite
Loss of energy
Anemia

An animal with a healthy immune system will be less likely to become infected with dog worms, including heartworm. Mosquitoes are less likely to bite healthy dogs. In addition, the healthy animals own defense system is able to kill off the larvae of any heartworm that may enter the bloodstream, thus preventing them from reaching maturity and causing harm.

Factors that will weaken your dog's immune system include frequent vaccination, commercial pet foods, incorrect diet, stress and even conventional heartworm and other synthetic medication.

Heartworm Disease is a very serious condition. Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes. Canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) develops in the mosquito. Many different species of mosquitoes can carry heartworm larvae, so controlling the mosquito is not a feasible method of prevention.

Prevention of heartworm infection is much more preferable than treating it after the fact.

Adult dogs should start receiving a heartworm preventative treatment shortly before the local mosquito season, and continue treatment until two or three months after the season. Dogs that live in warm climates, such as Florida, should be given heartworm prevention continously. Puppies can be started on preventative heartworm treatment as soon as it is safe, usually by six to eight weeks of age.

To read more about the symptoms of Heartworm Disease, the conventional heartworm treatments, more heartworm information, and the heartworm medicines used, like Heartgard®, Sentinel®, Interceptor®, Revolution®, and Iverhart (including their side effects) please come visit my new website, Dogs and Worms.com

The Tapeworm Dog Worm

Adult tapeworms may reach 8 inches in length. The adult worm is actually made up of many small segments about 1/8 inch long. As the tail end of the worm matures, the terminal segments break off and pass into the stool.

To read more about the symptoms and signs of Tapeworms, Roundworms, Hookworms, and Whipworms, plus their conventional treatments, more information on each type of dog worm, and the worm medicines used, (including their side effects) please come visit my new website, Dogs and Worms.com

The Roundworm Dog Worm

Some signs of a roundworm infection are weight loss, decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, a pot-bellied appearance in puppies, and a weak appearance in adult dogs. Puppies can die with serious roundworm infections. Roundworms are also infectious to people!

To read more about the symptoms and signs of Tapeworms, Roundworms, Hookworms, and Whipworms, plus their conventional treatments, more information on each type of dog worm, and the worm medicines used, (including their side effects) please come visit my new website, Dogs and Worms.com

The Hookworm Dog Worm

This dog worm gets it's name from the hook-like mouth parts they use to attach to the intestinal wall. They are only about 1/8" long, but despite their small size, they suck large amounts of blood from the tiny vessels in the intestinal wall.

The Whipworm Dog Worm

Any dog with chronic diarrhea can be reasonably suspected to have whipworms, regardless of several negative stool examinations.

I don't represent or promote ANY 'fly-by-night', 'questionable', or 'shady' products!

I promote a companies' products that:
1. Are manufactured according to the highest pharmaceutical standards - using only the best quality raw ingredients from nature's medicine chest.

2. This company and their suppliers are registered with the FDA as accredited suppliers and manufacturers of health supplements. Their natural products are sold all over the world and are manufactured to strict international standards in a GMP accredited manufacturing plant.

3. All of their natural remedies are manufactured in an FDA registered pharmaceutical facility under close supervision. This includes formulation, acquiring and testing of raw ingredients as well as final manufacturing. This gives me the confidence to say that when you are buying one of these products, you are buying the safest and the best!

4. Manufacturing is done strictly according to the principles of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and all raw ingredients undergo stringent testing before being approved by their registered manufacturing pharmacists.

5. They offer a free email 'Ask Our Experts' service run by trained consultants ready to advise you on the best choice for your health and your pet's health.

6. They have an Unconditional One Year Money Back Guarantee.

7. Being a partner with this company has given me the opportunity to phone the owners and staff. They literally try to 'bend over backwards' to answer any questions, even when the question was about a products' ingredients. This question was before they had changed their website, and list their policies in detail. The answer I received (about product ingredients) assured me they are completely trustworthy: absolutely nothing is approved for their natural medicines without going through many strict regulations and tests.

If you have a question about any of these natural dog products, it's usage, or it's dosage, I encourage you to visit this page: Ask Us Questions. Enter your question or concerns in the form, and the company will try very hard to answer it within 24 hours.
