Frequently Asked Questions
Home care may include regular grooming, cleaning bedding, bathing with vet-approved products, and maintaining good hygiene. However, parasites often require proper medication prescribed or recommended by a veterinarian for safe and effective treatment.
The 7-7-7 rule encourages dogs to experience seven new people, places, and situations regularly. This helps improve confidence, social skills, and overall behaviour, especially in young dogs.
Treatment depends on the type of parasite. Veterinarians may recommend dewormers, flea and tick treatments, medicated shampoos, or preventive medications. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment are important for recovery.
Protect your dog by using regular parasite prevention products, keeping living areas clean, grooming frequently, and attending routine veterinary check-ups. Avoiding contaminated environments also reduces infection risk.
