Protecting your dog from hookworms and other parasites is one of the easiest things you can do to keep them healthy and happy.

Warm, humid weather can be the perfect environment for parasites like hookworms, which is why parasite preventives are essential for your dog. Treatment is possible, but prevention is better for everyone.

Many heartworm prevention products contain medication to treat hookworm and other parasite infections. Talk to your veterinarian about the best products to fit your lifestyle, and we'll deliver them directly to your door each month with your Never Forget® subscription.

Parasites can lurk anywhere, at any time, so protecting your dog is crucial.

Intestinal parasites—like roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and whipworms—cause stomach upset and blood loss. Even worse, some of these worms can be passed on to people too! Treatment is possible, but prevention is better for everyone.

Reduce the risk to your pet by making parasite prevention a priority.
