Paratise control
Deworming is basic health care for your dog and cat. The parasites that affect your pet can also affect you. There are several types of parasites:
External: fleas, ticks, mites, lice, flies and mosquitoes
Os internos: lombrigas, ténias, coccídeas, giardia spp, dirofilária
Internal: roundworms, tapeworms, coccidia, giardia spp, heartworm
Symptoms vary depending on the type and amount of parasites present, the age and health of your pet.
The main symptoms caused by internal parasites in your dog and cat are:
- Fatigue
- Anemia

- Lack of appetite
- Cough
> INTERNAL DEPARASITATION
The parasites can be transmitted during pregnancy and lactation, from the mother to the baby. For this reason, puppies must be dewormed internally after 2 weeks of age. Whereas the kittens must begin internal deworming at 3 weeks of age.
Then, both species must be dewormed every two weeks until 8 weeks (2 weeks post-weaning). From 2 to 6 months of age, administration should be monthly and from 6 months on a quarterly basis (3-3 months).
> EXTERNAL DEPARASITATION
External parasites cause your pet to be unwell, and they can carry serious diseases. At SOLUMVET we recommend the application of spot-on pipettes and / or oral administration of pills and / or the use of a collar.
The pipettes, with monthly application, must protect essentially for fleas, ticks, flies and mosquitoes. Some of these products are also targeted at mites (scabies).
Collars have the advantage of a prolonged action time (they need to be replaced after 4-6 months or 7-8 months depending on the type of collar)
Quarterly tablets are easy to administer, however they have no insecticidal action. These pills are exclusive to dogs. Ask your vet about the ideal dewormer for your pet and, above all, bet on prevention and surveillance and make periodic consultations at least twice a year..
