Puppies and kittens are dewormed starting at two weeks, every two weeks until twelve weeks, then monthly until six months a protocol aligned with guidance from the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists.. Adults are typically dewormed every three to six months depending on environment and risk. We integrate deworming into broader wellness and vaccination schedules.
Common signs include visible worms in stool, scooting, a bloated appearance (especially in young animals), unexplained weight loss, dull coat, diarrhoea (sometimes bloody), and vomiting. However, many pets carry worms without obvious symptoms, which is why regular preventive deworming is important.
