DIY Dog Deworming Basics
If you think your dog has worms, save the cost of a vet fecal test and go straight to treatment. A fecal flotation test only confirms what you likely already suspect - and it won’t resolve the problem.
Panacur (fenbendazole) is a broad-spectrum dewormer that is inexpensive, safe, and widely used in dogs. It is effective against many common intestinal parasites and is easy for dog parents to administer at home, helping avoid unnecessary vet visits and extra costs.
Panacur is available in different doses based on your dog’s weight.

Interesting Dog Fact 🤔
Hearts Beat As One
Ever wonder why your dog seems to just get you? Science has discovered something remarkable: when you spend time with your dog, your heart rates and breathing patterns actually synchronize with each other.
This physiological mirroring is so specific that it only happens between dogs and their owners - not strangers. Your bond with your dog isn't just emotional; your bodies are literally in sync, beating to the same rhythm.
It's one more reminder that the connection we share with our dogs runs deeper than we ever imagined.
