What parasite protection is available for my dog?
In order to prevent your pet from being plagued by unwanted guests, zooplus provides a selection of products that can help both avoid and treat the issue. Here you will find a brief overview of the different options available for parasite protection in dogs.
Internal parasite protection

Such anti-parasite sprays can also help prevent there being any chance of eggs or larvae hatching. A flea or tick spray can offer protection for up to 4 weeks, depending on the type of spray you choose, and can come in preventative and treatment options.

How can I avoid parasite problems for my dog?
Coat care with brushes and combs
The thicker your dog's coat, the more likely it is that it could be harbouring unwanted parasites without your noticing. Caring for your dog's fur regularly, therefore, is a great way to keep on top of flea and tick protection. It helps to avoid matted fur and will reliably remove any loose hairs, leaving the coat smooth and healthy. It can also mean you more quickly find any parasite infestations, which can then be removed using specialist brushes and combs. Grooming gloves and massage brushes can also be helpful in creating a grooming routine that your dog loves. If all else fails and your dog refuses to sit still for its brushing, we offer a great range of tasty treats to act as a bribe!
Clippers and scissors for longer coats
Keeping on top of your dog's coat with trimmers and clippers can also help to prevent knots and matting in longer coats, which can in turn prevent your dog's fur getting too dirty. Spending time outdoors can leave your dog looking dishevelled, so trimmers or scissors can be an ideal way to ensure parasites are removed along with any knots or damaged fur.
Flea shampoo for dogs
Another way to care for your dog's skin and coat is with an anti-parasitic shampoo, offering effective protection against fleas, ticks and mites. It is also a handy way to keep your dog clean and hygienic! Flea shampoos are designed to care for and soothe your dog's skin.

Why do I need to worm my dog?
Worms can get into your dog's system in a number of ways as your dog explores the world around it nose-first! For example, if you or your dog comes into contact with stool infected with worms, the resilient eggs may have survived and find a way to get to your dog, whether that be on the sole of your shoe or on your pet's coat. As soon as these eggs come anywhere near your dog's mouth, they can cause a worm infestation and, unfortunately, dogs are popular host animals for a number of different worm species. This is why regularly worming your dog is not just highly recommended, but an essential part of dog-owning.
