What are the types of pet dewormers?

Common pet dewormers include犬心保、拜宠清、福来恩、尼可信、爱沃克、大宠爱等,with each dewormer having a different focus on the types of parasites they target.

Internal Dewormers

  1. 犬心保

犬心保 is an internal dewormer for dogs, primarily targeting common internal parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms, and providing good prevention against heartworms. However, several points should be noted when using犬心保: Firstly, as its main ingredient is ivermectin, it should not be used in breeds such as German Shepherds and Scottish Shepherds, otherwise it could lead to poisoning. Secondly, if a dog has already contracted heartworms, it is not recommended to use this drug as it could stimulate the heartworms and worsen the condition.

  1. 拜宠清

拜宠清 is a broad-spectrum dewormer that is mainly used to treat pet dog and cat infections with roundworms and tapeworms, effectively killing tapeworms, roundworms, and hookworms in dogs and cats.

External Dewormers

  1. 福来恩

福来恩 is an external dewormer for pets, effectively killing and preventing external parasites such as fleas and ticks. Puppies and kittens are recommended to receive treatment once a month, while adult pets can choose a suitable deworming frequency based on environmental changes. For example, when environmental temperatures are high, treatment can be done every 1-2 months. 福来恩 should be applied to areas of the pet's body that they cannot lick, such as the head, neck, and back. If a pet has a severe external parasite infection, it is usually necessary to administer the drug systemically, and it is recommended to have the pet wear an Elizabethan collar.

  1. 尼可信

尼可信 is an external dewormer. Its main active ingredient is afoxolaner, which removes ticks and fleas from dogs through oral administration. When giving the drug to a dog, the dosage should be determined according to the drug's instructions and the dog's weight. Overdosing can lead to drug poisoning. Additionally, external parasites are highly contagious, and it is necessary to disinfect the pet's living environment thoroughly.

Internal and External Dewormers

  1. 爱沃克

爱沃克's main ingredients are imidacloprid and moxidectin, which are used to treat ear mites, fleas, roundworms, hookworms, and heartworms. The drug components can simultaneously prevent parasites inside and outside the body. Due to the drug's ingredients, it is recommended to apply 爱沃克 to the pet's neck to avoid licking and causing poisoning. It is also recommended to deworm once every 1-2 months to reduce the likelihood of parasite infection.

  1. 大宠爱

大宠爱 is a highly safe internal and external dewormer that can be used in dogs and cats over 6 weeks old, as well as pregnant and lactating dogs and cats, and even sensitive breeds such as Collies. It can remove hookworms, roundworms, and external parasites such as mange mites, lice, and fleas, and also prevents heartworm disease in dogs and cats. 大宠爱 is recommended for dogs and cats over 1 month old, with the best preventive effect when used once a month.
