The veterinary deworming is an essential measure to protect the health of dogs and cats against internal and external parasites that can affect their well-being and, in some cases, be transmitted to humans. A proper deworming programme helps prevent digestive problems, skin problems and more serious diseases.
At Benivet Benissa we provide deworming in the form of individualisedThe veterinarian shall take into account the age, lifestyle, environment and risk of each pet, following up to date veterinary criteria.

The veterinary deworming is essential to look after your pet's health and prevent the transmission of diseases to your family. At Benivet BenissaWe design personalised plans according to the age, lifestyle and species of the animal, guaranteeing effective treatment against worms, fleas and ticks.
In addition to the general physical examination, we recommend regular check-ups to detect possible associated infections. When necessary, we supplement with blood tests o veterinary ultrasound to assess the state of internal organs affected by parasites.
This service is part of a broader approach to preventive health, together with our veterinary practice.
More information on common parasites and how to prevent them can be found in the official guide of the CDC - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Deworming protects the health of dogs and cats and should be adapted to the age, environment and lifestyle of each pet.
There is no single deworming regime that is suitable for all animals. The frequency, type of protection and product must be tailored to each pet’s species, weight, age, state of health and risk of exposure.
To draw up a personalised parasite control plan, we take into account factors such as:
Access to the outside: Walks in the countryside, gardens, parks or areas frequented by other animals can increase exposure to fleas, ticks and intestinal parasites.
Coexistence with other animals: Pets that live with other dogs or cats, attend boarding kennels or have frequent contact with other animals may require specific preventative treatment.
Age and state of health: Puppies, kittens, older animals or pets with pre-existing conditions require a treatment plan tailored to their specific situation. A veterinary check-up It enables us to assess their general condition before recommending the most suitable product.
Diet and habits: Eating raw meat, hunting, ingesting debris from the ground or drinking water of unknown origin can affect the risk of contracting certain internal parasites.
Travel and usual surroundings: The destination, the time of year and the presence of mosquitoes or sand flies are important factors. In Benissa and the surrounding area, it is also important to take precautions against leishmaniasis as part of the protection plan.
Symptoms or suspected infestation: Diarrhoea, vomiting, weight loss, itching, skin lesions or the presence of parasites in the stools require veterinary assessment. See also How to tell if your pet has internal or external parasites.
Where there are digestive symptoms or a suspected intestinal parasite, a coprological test or stool analysis. This test helps to identify certain parasites and to determine whether treatment is required or needs to be adjusted.
The frequency should not be determined solely on the basis of a general guideline. In our guide on How often should you treat a dog or cat for worms? We explain which factors need to be taken into account when drawing up the timetable.
If your pet is showing symptoms, has been in contact with parasites or you are unsure when it had its last dose, please book an veterinary practice in Benissa. We’ll review their history and suggest a plan tailored to their needs.

The veterinary deworming is a key part of prevention in dogs and cats: it protects your pet against internal (intestinal) parasites and, in many cases, also helps to reduce risks for the family (zoonosis) depending on lifestyle. At Benivet Benissa we adjust the plan to the age, environment and habits and, if it is necessary to confirm the cause or choose the most suitable product, we indicate tests. only when they provide useful information:
Veterinary practice in BenissaRisk assessment (puppy/adult/senior), cohabitation with children, access to field/beach, contact with other animals, and preventive schedule.
Coprological tests / stool analysisIf there is recurrent diarrhoea, mucus/blood in stool, weight loss, or suspicion of intestinal parasites; it is also useful when we want to confirm whether treatment has been effective.
Blood testswhen there is weakness, weight loss, anaemia, persistent symptoms or suspicion of systemic disease (depending on the case).
UrinalysisComplement if there are urinary signs or we need additional general assessment, especially in patients with previous illnesses.
If in addition to the internal plan you need prevention against external parasites (fleas/ ticks) and an integral health approach, we coordinate it from veterinary internal medicine and reviewed it in the veterinary practice in Benissa to suit every season and lifestyle.

Specific prevention against sand flies, which are very common in our area, with screening and prophylaxis tailored to each dog.
Faecal tests to detect internal parasites in cases of recurrent diarrhoea or suspected infestation.
It enables an assessment of the patient’s general condition and the detection of any abnormalities associated with certain parasitic infections.
Frequency depends on age, lifestyle and risk of exposure. In general, it is recommended to internal deworming every 3 months y monthly external prevention against fleas, ticks and mosquitoes/phlebotomes. On the Costa Blanca, the climate favours parasites all year round, so protocols are usually continuous.
The most frequent are fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, sandflies, phlebotomesas well as internal parasites such as intestinal worms o protozoa. Phlebotomine sandflies are particularly relevant because of their role in the leishmaniasiswhich is very present in this area.
Signs include itching, hair loss, scabs, diarrhoea, vomiting, anaemia, weight loss or visible worms in faeces. However, many animals show no symptomsIt is therefore essential to maintain a preventive plan and to carry out regular veterinary checks.

Yes, parasites such as fleas and mosquitoes can enter through windows, clothing or visits from other animals. In addition, internal parasites can be acquired through soil, food or indirect contact. Even indoor cats need regular prevention.
In this case, we carry out a specific diagnosis (coprological, blood tests, cytology or rapid tests) and we prescribe a treatment adapted to the type of parasite. We also review the environment, coexistence with other animals and the preventive plan to avoid reinfestations.
