Since there are several ways by which dogs can be exposed to tapeworms, it is almost impossible to stop your dog from acquiring these parasites. The good news is that are several ways to prevent the development of an infestation. These include the following:
- Regular deworming - You should ask your veterinarian Scottsdale, AZ for a worming medication that is safe and effective for your pet. These are available in the form of tablets or spot-ons. There are now drug preparations that target several parasites which make it more convenient in treating and preventing infestations.
- Up-to-date flea treatments - Fleas are important carriers of tapeworms. Being regular with your pet’s flea treatments can help reduce the risk of dogs ingesting infected fleas while grooming themselves.
- Kill any tapeworm larvae that may be present by cooking any meat thoroughly.
- Clean up after your dog immediately.
