Pet Health Is A Factor In Your Family's Health
By Stacey Moore
For many parents, a puppy can be a great addition to a family. Puppies often present an opportunity for children to learn how to show love and respect and to take responsibility for another "family member."
Part of taking responsibility for a means maintaining its health. Take your newly adopted puppy to the veterinarian immediately. The veterinarian will check the dog's health status and recommend when he should be vaccinated and wormed.
Your puppy-and other family members-will also need protection from internal parasites. One of the easiest, most effective ways to protect your is to use a monthly oral parasite preventive available through veterinary clinics. But it must be used consistently.
Year-round
treatment with a broad-spectrum parasite product is key. That's because a significant portion of the U.S. experiences parasite prevalence all year.
For instance, the presence of mosquitoes and their ability to transmit heartworm is unpredictable. Pets can also be exposed to and become infected with roundworms, hookworms and whipworms throughout the year. Owners may not notice outwardly visible infections in adult dogs, leading to environmental contamination.
The risk of parasitic infection in pets and parasite transmission to people increases in the absence of year-round internal parasite prevention.
Experts say a parasite preventive year-round is especially important in households with infants and small children.

Experts such as the Companion Animal Parasite Council (www.petsandparasites.org) say using an internal parasite preventive is especially important in households with infants and small children. |
