Worming Frequency for Dogs

Worming dogs is crucial for their health, and it is advised to do it at least every six months for tapeworm. For dogs that frequently scavenge or interact with wildlife, an increase to every three months is recommended. Many flea treatments also include wormers for roundworm and lungworm, which can be administered monthly. Consulting a veterinarian for tailored advice on specific situations is always a good practice.
