PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you worm your dog or cat?
Worm an adult dog or cat at least every 3 months, even if it lives indoors. Your vet may give you a different schedule.
ESCCAP, the European parasitology council, names four times a year as the minimum for adult dogs and cats. Pets that hunt, eat raw meat or live with young children often need monthly treatment. Puppies and kittens follow their own schedule; talk to your vet.
- Ask your vet which schedule suits your pet
- Use a product that matches species and weight
- Give it according to the leaflet
- Note the date for the next dose
