For those of use who hold our pets close to our heart, keeping them healthy and disease-free is something that we pet-lovers don’t take for granted. Internal parasites such as intestinal parasites can adversely affect your dog's health and cause serious damage to vital internal organs cutting their life short- some parasites such as hookworm can even be harmful to humans, especially our children.   De-worming your dog is the best thing to do for them and your family.
