Deworming Services for Pets

Regular deworming is recommended to protect your pet from deadly parasites.

At some point in their lives, pets can contract parasites and worms that negatively impact their health. But the good news is that they can be prevented from causing harm to your pet and your family members. The best way to stay ahead is to regularly deworm your pet and let medicines expel the internal parasites from your pet's organs. Deworming is recommended for all pets every year. For more information on deworming, you can give us a call at 519-360-4508.

Can I deworm my cat more than once a year?

It is recommended that cats be dewormed approximately every three months to once every season. If you have questions about deworming your cat, our veterinarians can help you build a schedule.

Is deworming medicine for dogs and cats the same?

Deworming medicines for dogs and cats can be made with the same ingredients, but it is never a good idea to give the same dewormer across species. Dewormers are specific to species, age, and sometimes breeds of pets.

How do I know if I should deworm my pet?

If you see worms or pieces of worms in your pet's stool - it is usually a sign that your pet needs to be dewormed.
