My dog has worms, natural remedies aren't working. What works?

Intestinal worms need to be killed. There is no alternative or natural remedy that kills worms. The easiest and safest way to do that is to use a worming medication that does exactly that. If dosed properly according to the weight of the animal, worming medications will only affect the worms and will not affect the animal. There are some exceptions: Ivermectin should not be used in collies and other dogs with MDR1 defect. However, there are many safe alternatives to ivermectin and in general all other wormers are safe and effective.

I can certainly understand being frustrated with this problem! Drontal, in my experience, is a great deworming treatment, and it often takes at least two treatments to kill all the worms. That's because the first treatment kills the adult worms already present, and the second kills the ones who had not yet hatched at the time of the first treatment. Preventing worms does require treatment with a deworming medication every three months, and each dog in the house should be treated to prevent reinfection. I would recommend giving all the dogs in your home Drontal, and giving them this treatment every three months. You can also give them Panacur instead of Drontal, it's a good deworming treatment that works well in my experience.

Unfortunately, there are no home remedies for worms in puppies. She will need a deworming treatment for her worms, and you can get one OTC from your vet's clinic (you don't need an exam) or from the pet store. I recommend giving Zura Panacur.

When selecting a worker look for he words "broad spectrum" this will mean that all types are covered for Brandy. You will want to treat her a few times a year. www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=35694 I have not found the natural remedies to be very effective I must say.

Kennel cough usually is self limiting infection and resolves even without any treatment if not severe, tapeworm must be treated unfortunately with prescription medications together with good quality flea treatment (as the fleas are the intermediate host of the parasite).

There is not any problem with deworming your dog from a technical standpoint monthly, but if you are finding yourself having to do this there might be a bigger problem at hand. There could be some resistant parasites present in the gastrointestinal tract that require a different medication. I would submit a fecal sample to your veterinarian or perhaps even to a laboratory to have them analyze the sample and check for the type of parasites. You might have greater benefit from the use of a different drug besides Drontal Plus. Hope this helps! Hope Thor is doing OK!

Unfortunately, there are no homeopathic remedies you can use to kills worms in cats and dogs. These require medications to kill, and I would recommend using Panacur. As for the liver, there are many homeopathic liver remedies you can give your cats and dogs, but you can try HepatoPET.
