A Guide to Dog Dewormer Types and Active Ingredients
Spring warms the environment and multiplies parasites, and outdoor dogs are especially exposed to internal and external worms that cause poor nutrition, itchy skin, and organ damage. Deworming also protects people—some parasites spread to humans. With many brands and types, the smart move is to choose on proven ingredients and safety, not fame. This guide walks through the common active-ingredient classes—imidacloprid plus moxidectin, selamectin, fipronil, milbemycin, isoxazolines—and how to pick and dose safely for lasting protection.

How Is Canine Infectious Hepatitis Treated
Canine infectious hepatitis, caused by canine adenovirus type 1, has no specific cure, so treatment is supportive: antiviral serum or immunoglobulin early, liver support, antivirals, antibiotics against secondary infection, and fluids for jaundice. Blood tests plus symptoms guide the diagnosis.
How is feline rhinotracheitis caused?

Canine Infectious Hepatitis: Can It Be Treated
Canine infectious hepatitis is an acute, often severe viral disease of dogs caused by canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1). It spreads through urine, saliva, and nasal discharge and hits weaned puppies hardest, sometimes with no warning signs. Typical signs include a fever that rises then falls, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and a characteristic cloudy "blue eye" in about a quarter of recovering dogs. While there is no direct cure that eliminates the virus, most dogs recover with prompt supportive care such as fluids, liver protection, and antibiotics to control secondary infection. The good news is that the disease is highly preventable through routine vaccination, with puppy shots given at 8-9 and 10-12 weeks and annual boosters for adults.
What Is Canine Herpesvirus Infection
Canine herpesvirus type 1 causes an acute, often fatal disease in young puppies. Adult dogs usually carry the virus without signs, but newborns can die within a day of infection. Because treatment is poor once signs appear, warmth and supportive care, plus prevention, are what matter most.
