Veloxa XL Dog Wormer's main objective is to eliminate two categories of worms: flatworms, also known as cestodes, and roundworms, known as nematodes. Here are some of the specific worms this dewormer can treat:
Flatworms (Cestodes)
- Dipylidium caninum: This worm is commonly transmitted to dogs by fleas. It can cause anal itching and irritation in infested animals.
- Taenia spp: Dogs can contract these worms by eating raw meat or hunting infected prey. They can cause digestive problems and weight loss.
Roundworms (Nematodes)
- Trichuris vulpis: Also known as the whip worm, it often infects the large intestine of dogs and can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea.
- Ankylostoma caninum: These worms attach themselves to the small intestine of dogs and can cause anemia in infested animals.
- Uncinaria stenocephala: Similar to Ankylostoma caninum, these worms are also small intestine parasites.
- Toxocara canis: These worms can cause digestive disorders and respiratory symptoms in puppies and young dogs.
- Toxascaris leonina: Also found in the small intestine, these worms can cause gastrointestinal problems.
