WORMING, ALSO AS A PREVENTIVE FOR DOGS AND CATS

A cat, dog or rodent can easily be infected with worms. Worms and more specifically worm eggs occur almost everywhere. This goes for animal rescues, dog kennels, catteries and households. Eggs can even maintain themselves under the best sanitary conditions. In the Netherlands the hookworm, tapeworm, roundworm, whipworm and heartworm occur most frequently (in the United Kingdom roundworm and tapeworm are most common, hookworm, heartworm and whipworm are quite rare in the UK). These are real parasites, they live completely at the expense of their host. Worms are in a greater or lesser extent harmful to your pet’s health. A neglected worminfection can even lead to death.

For the control and prevention of worms it is important to worm your pet regularly. In some case people (children) can also be infected. The chances of that happening are largely decreased by worming your pet regularly. It is advisable to worm your adult pets four times a year with a de-worming formula that kills eggs, larvae and worms in all stages of development. Chinese herbal medicine has developed the worming formula Worm-Complex. This formula kills hookworms, tapeworms, roundworms and whipworms. What makes this formula very effective is the fact that it also kills the eggs and larvae in all stages of development. This is so called broad spectrum de-worming medication. Worm-Complex is based on herbs and does not burden organs like liver and kidneys, contrary to the known chemical worming products.

Worm-Complex is also effective in cases where the more conventional wormers like Drontal, Exil, Flubenol etc. do not work. It is often the case that worms have grown immune to regular wormers. The worms, usually roundworms, will be present in the digestive system within a few weeks after worming. Worms are not immune to Worm-Complex because it is based on herbs. Worm-Complex does not have any of the side effects regular wormers have.

It is also important to :

clean up faeces
not allow pets in the children’s sandbox
always wash your hands before eating
not let your animal lick you in the face
keep your animal free of fleas

Worm-Complex is an excellent replacement for worm medicine from your vet.
