Common questions
How often should I worm my dog?
European parasite experts (ESCCAP) recommend at least four times a year when a dog’s risk is unknown, and monthly for higher-risk dogs, such as those that eat slugs, scavenge or are fed raw. Puppies need more frequent worming. Your vet can set a schedule for your dog’s lifestyle.
Do I need a prescription for dog flea treatment?
Not always. Some products are on general sale, and others can be supplied by a pharmacist or SQP. The products with the broadest cover, including most for lungworm, are prescription only (POM-V) and need a vet to examine your dog first.
