This week’s podcast is all about controlling worms in pets. To listen (and to find out why there’s a pic of a snail above), click on the play button at the foot of this page.
Dog and cat worms are important
- Worms can cause serious ill health in animals.
- Worms can cause serious illness in humans, especially in children.
The most important worms to control are:
- Roundworms- for animal and human health
- Lungworm – in dogs only, to prevent illness and possible death
- Many people don’t dose their pets often enough and they often use ineffective medication.
- The best way to be sure that you are doing things properly is to ask for individualised advice from your local vet clinic

Please note that I am unable to answer veterinary questions in comments. If you have questions or concerns about your pet's health it is always better to contact your vet.
