Do hunting dogs on a monthly heartworm prevention program still need a regular dog worm treatment?
Monthly heartworm protection programs do a great job of protecting your dog against heartworm. And yes, many do provide protection against certain other internal and external parasites. But don’t rely on monthly heartworm protection products alone to protect your hunting dog from all canine internal parasites! Most heartworm prevention products are NOT effective against all major types of canine intestinal worms that infect dogs. Many pet health advisors recommend deworming all dogs – and especially dogs that spend a lot of time in kennels and outdoors – at least twice a year, with a broad-spectrum dog dewormer that is effective against all major types of canine intestinal worms. Because Safe-Guard® Canine Dewormer has no known drug interactions*, you don’t have to worry about giving it to your dog, even if he’s already on a monthly heartworm prevention program. As a matter of fact, both products complement each other very well, for more complete parasite protection – and greater peace
