Can we prevent whipworms?
Of course. All you have to do is to take your dog to the vet regularly and give them parasite preventives prescribed by your vet.
“Administering parasite preventive medication every 30 days all year long is a critical factor in keeping your pet healthy,” Dr. Marrinson says. “Some, but not all, parasite preventive medications are effective at preventing whipworms,” so you should consult your vet first.
“Good sanitation, such as picking up and safely disposing of feces, are important steps,” said Dr. Marrinson.
