What happens if you don’t deworm a dog?
Skipping deworming invites fleas, ticks, mites, and worms that steal nutrition (anemia, weight loss) and cause itching, hair loss, dermatitis, and gut issues. Deworm monthly (external) and every 2-3 months (internal).

Why Don’t Dogs Sweat?
Dogs have a different cooling system: dense fur traps sweat and few sweat glands limit evaporation, so they cool mainly through panting and their paw pads. Their large tongue expels heat as they pant.
Why is my dog’s skin red and itchy?
Red, itchy skin can come from allergies, parasites, bites, or bacterial or fungal infection. Find the specific cause first. Pollen, food, or perfume allergies need removal of the allergen. Mites, fleas, or ticks need prompt deworming.
Why Does a Dog Destroy the House, and How to Stop It?
Dogs usually wreck the house out of separation anxiety when their trusted person leaves. Fix it by training early, building the dog's own safe space, easing the anxiety with chews, and gradually teaching it to be alone — scolding alone won't work.
My dog is pregnant but hasn’t been dewormed in over a month and is full of parasites; what can I do, and how much does vet deworming cost?
Deworming is generally not advised during pregnancy; do it before pregnancy. If fleas/ticks are severe, use a vet-recommended topical or a safer product like Revolution; imported combo products cost 80-150 RMB depending on weight. Use only safe, legitimate products and dose by weight.
How do I prevent ticks on my Teddy (poodle)?
Prevent ticks by using a fipronil-based topical once a month (every 2 months in cold weather), cleaning the living environment regularly, avoiding grass and woods, and checking the body often to remove any found ticks.
My dog’s skin has been chewed raw with a skin problem; it keeps biting its legs into wounds and scratching nonstop, with poor appetite and low spirits.
Based on your description, the chewing and scratching may be from parasites (fleas, ticks, mites) causing itch — get an anti-itch shot and external deworming, shave and disinfect with iodine. Food/environmental allergies or atopic dermatitis also cause relentless itching; find and avoid the allergen, and give vet-prescribed oral anti-itch medication. Anxiety self-harm is also possible; see a vet. Always use an Elizabethan collar.
