It is important to recognise that lungworm is not treated by the conventional use of worming tablets when given every three months, or even every month.
Thankfully, treatment of lungworm infection in dogs is widely available and easy to administer. Once diagnosed and treated, most dogs make a full recovery. The key to successful treatment is taking action early.
If you are concerned your dog has picked up, or is at risk from, picking up a lungworm infection, speak to your veterinary surgeon without delay.
One treatment option available is a solution that can be applied to the back of your dog’s neck which effectively treats lungworm. This monthly product also treats your dog for fleas and other common parasites such as fleas, worms (including lungworm) and mites. Speak to your veterinary surgeon for further advice.
