Why dogs need medication?

Dogs rely on their humans to provide them with all they need to remain healthy and active. In addition to feeding your dog a high-quality diet, giving your dog medications is one of the most important ways you can help your dog live their best life.

Parasite prevention is an easy way to protect your dog from fleas, ticks, and internal parasites that can sap your dog’s health. Fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites can lead to nutrient deficiency, anemia, and long-term diseases like Lyme’s disease. These medications are either topical or ingested and often work by killing larvae or rendering parasites sterile.|

Petzyo puts your dog’s health and safety first. We only offer reputable, effective products that are handled and stored properly before being shipped to your home. Some of the best-selling brands we offer include NexGard, Advocate, Bravecto, Advantix, and Simparica.


Common Dog Parasites

There are a variety of bugs that can ruin your dog’s health, lowering their quality of life, and in some cases, ending their life. Here are some of the most common:

  • Cryptosporidium
  • Giardia
  • Heartworm
  • Hookworm
  • Roundworm
  • Tapeworm
  • Whipworm

To prevent them from lowering your furry friend’s quality of life, find a treatment that eliminates them and make sure that you administer it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.


How to Identify if your dog has fleas, ticks or worms?

While not fun, you will need to check to see if your doggo has fleas, ticks or worms. This can be done by a microscopic examination of their stool and/or blood tests. So if you suspect parasites, schedule an appointment with your vet, and ask if you need to bring in a stool sample.

Some signs that your dog might have picked up parasites are:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Blood in stool
  • Changes in appetite
  • Dehydration
  • Diarrhea
  • Dull coat
  • Lethargy
  • Poor body condition
  • Stunted growth
  • Swollen abdomen
  • Vomiting
  • Weight loss
  • Worms in feces

If you notice any of these, consult your veterinarian, and they can examine your forever friend and suggest a treatment.


How to prevent your Dog from Getting Fleas, Ticks & Worms?

Have you looked into flea prevention for your dog? There are a variety of choices–you just have to decide what is best for you and your doggo. You can pick from the following:

  • Collars
  • Pills & chews
  • Powders
  • Shampoos
  • Sprays
  • Topical creams and gels

While not foolproof, you can reduce the chance that your dog picks up bugs by cleaning up after your dog when they go to the bathroom, avoiding dog parks where there might be flea-infested dogs or ticks, and keeping your dog from chasing prey.


Buying Dog Medicine Online

You will find that adding your dog’s medication to your order is a convenient way to ensure you have your pet’s medication when you need it. If you’re unsure if a medication is right for your dog, you should consult your veterinarian.

Select a medication that is appropriate for your dog’s weight, age, and needs. When you click on a product, you can read more about it to decide if it’s right for your best friend. Always follow product guidelines, including dosage schedule and instructions.


Flea and Tick Treatment for Dogs

There are a variety of flea and tick treatments for dogs. If your dog is small or younger than 6 months, read the guidelines carefully because some flea treatments for puppies are not recommended for small dogs or puppies less than 6 months old. Some medications can treat your dog for a combination of fleas, ticks and heartworms.

Most dog flea and tick treatments do not kill worms, so you will need to look for a product that can kill a variety of parasitic worms, especially those known to infest the area where you live.

While making your decision, look at the way dog flea, and worm treatments work. Some kill only adult fleas, while others kill adults and eggs, breaking the life cycle and helping to prevent reinfestation. Some are fast-acting, killing adult fleas in hours, while others last up to three months. Some dog flea treatments are ingested, others applied topically. The choice is yours and your doggo’s, but if you have any doubts, your veterinarian can help you make the best decision for your four-legged friend.


How to pick the safest treatment for your dog?

Things to consider

While making your choice, you need to consider many things, like:

  • Activities: What your dog does on a daily basis will affect their exposure to fleas, ticks, worms, and other parasites. The exposure will affect the type of medication you will choose.
  • Age: Check to make sure that your choice is appropriate for the age of your dog. Many treatments should not be given to puppies.
  • Coat: The type of coat your dog has can affect the effectiveness of some topical treatments.
  • Family: Some medications should not be given to dogs when there are children in the house or apartment.
  • Health: Certain health conditions can be affected by some flea, tick and worm medications. Check with your veterinarian before you give them to your dog.
  • Location: Different areas have different parasites, so your dog’s exposure is based on where you live and the pests in that area.
  • Pregnancy: Mose medications are not recommended for pregnant and nursing dogs.

It can be a complicated and difficult decision, so read the product description carefully and talk to your vet if you need additional help or have questions about the medications.
