Earth dogs need to be dewormed and should be dewormed regularly. Compared to pet dogs, earth dogs have worse living conditions and are more susceptible to related parasite infections. Therefore, it is necessary to do external and internal deworming work.

Generally, it is recommended to use external deworming drugs for earth dogs every 1-2 months, which can effectively prevent infections such as fleas and lice. If the living environment of the earth dog is poor, it is recommended to do external deworming once a month. At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly clean the earth dog's equipment, such as mats, dog houses, etc.

** Internal deworming of earth dogs: **

Mainly use drugs containing praziquantel, milbemycin, and fenbendazole. Due to the poor living environment of earth dogs, they are easily infected with related eggs through the mouth. Therefore, it is recommended to do internal deworming for earth dogs every three months, which can prevent infections of common parasites such as roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms. If an earth dog is infected with common intestinal parasites, clinical reactions will not appear for a short time. If there are too many worms, symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, worm excretion, malnutrition, and rough fur will occur. In severe cases, a large number of worms can even block the earth dog's intestines, causing intestinal obstruction, and in severe cases, it can lead to death.
