Worming your horses is no longer as simple as giving one medication on a regular basis. Due to the threat of rising resistance to some chemicals used in common wormers and the fact that the ingredients don't target every type of worm or intestinal parasite, our approach to worming horses must now be a tactical one. This article aims to explain horse worming in a readable and not overly-complicated way. It provides general tips for good pasture management and deciding when to worm your horse. Choosing a wormer shouldn't be a daunting process but there are so many products out there and with the added worry of growing resistance to wormers, it often becomes difficult. VioVet has formulated a general worming plan to follow, with just four treatments per year to target specific groups of worms when it is most needed.

This article provides a sound overview of the most common worms that affect cats in the UK, how to spot a potential infection and when you should treat your cat or kitten. It is worth noting that worms are important for human health too, as infections picked up from pets and the environment can have serious consequences.
Worms can cause both dogs and humans health problems and regular worming should be part of every pet owners routine care. Worming should start early in life, as most puppies are born with worms due to the amazing ability of the parasites to ensure infections are passed on from the bitch to her puppies. Here, you will find advice on the products available and their suitability for puppies and pregnant or lactating bitches. Information on the types of worms and their lifecycles is also provided, if you are interested in reading a little extra on the topic and risk of human infection.
