Everything grows in spring, and the insects that have been sleeping all winter begin to crawl around. Parents who have pets at home have to worry about deworming their pets again. Pet owners, especially parents of cats and dogs, all know that when puppies and kittens are born, they not only need to be vaccinated to prevent viral infection, but also need oral or external anthelmintics to prevent parasite infection! So, what about these little guys? What is external deworming?

External deworming

External deworming generally targets parasites on the body surface. Common ones include: fleas, ticks, lice and ear mites. Some deworming agents can also prevent mosquito bites~

How should parents deworm their little ones externally?

Even something as small as external deworming needs to be carried out, and it should be done once a month. In early spring, external parasites are highly prevalent. If the little one likes to go to the grass, it is even more important not to be lazy! Generally, kittens and puppies over 2 months old can be dewormed externally. However, different brands of external anthelmintic drugs have certain requirements for the age and weight of pets. Parents should also read the instructions carefully~

Finally, let’s briefly introduce the commonly used external anthelmintic drugs on the market. Parents can choose to use them according to their own needs. At present, most of the external anthelmintic drugs on the domestic market are instilled externally. This kind of drug is usually a drop in a small tube, which is dropped on the skin on the back of the neck and used according to the prescribed dosage. It should be noted that for three days before and after taking the medicine, it is best not to take a bath for the little one, so as to help the medicine disperse to the skin of the whole body.
