Worming

All pets are affected by worms at some stage in their life. In most cases worms do not cause serious harm and you may not know that your pet is infected but some types of worms can be passed to people. Worms can be removed by simple and inexpensive remedies so regular treatment is recommended top protect your pet's and family's health.

Your partner in caring for your pet should be your veterinary surgeon. Regular visits to a vet for routine health checks and preventative health care such as vaccination and treatment for fleas and worms allow you and your pet to build a relationship with your vet. Most pets live with us as part of the family - maintaining their health also means there is less risk of them passing on disease. The chance of you catching a disease from an animal is small but there are some diseases that people can get from animals (zoonoses). A healthy pet is unlikely to pass on disease.
