Internal vs. External Parasites: What’s the Difference?

Parasites can affect pets both inside and out:


Internal parasites include worms such as roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, which live in the intestines.

External parasites like fleas and ticks live on your pet’s skin and fur, causing discomfort and potential diseases.

Each type requires a specific approach for effective treatment.


Internal Deworming: How Often?

The frequency of internal deworming depends on your pet’s age and lifestyle:


Puppies and kittens should be dewormed every 1–2 months from the age of 8 weeks.

Adult pets should undergo deworming every 3–5 months.

Internal deworming medications work by targeting parasites in the digestive system. Maintaining a regular schedule ensures your pet stays parasite-free and healthy.


External Parasite Control: Monthly Is Key

External parasites, like fleas and ticks, can be highly irritating and even transmit diseases. The best way to protect your pet is by using a monthly external deworming product.

Why Monthly Treatment Is Recommended
