Did you know you don't have to use harsh dewormers from the veterinarian for your precious fur baby? There are so many natural options available that are healthier for your dog! Dogs should do a parasite cleanse 2-4 times per year, as maintenance (just like humans).
Disclaimers: Use these for your dogs during the full moon cycles ONLY (with the exception of diatomaceous earth, apple cider vinegar, and liver/kidney support, which can be used more often)! If you’re using tinctures with alcohol, put the drops into hot water first for 15-30 minutes, in order to burn off the alcohol, before mixing it into your dog’s food. If your dog is on ANY medications, or has serious health issues, please consult your veterinarian, before using any of these.

Just like with humans, your pet is bio-individual! Some products may be good fit for your fur baby and others may not. This is why, again, I ALWAYS prefer using bio-energetic testing, so I can see exactly what your pet’s body wants to address and which remedies your pet’s body wants to use!
If you prefer a more customized approach for your pet (which is especially recommend if your fur baby has more complicated health issues), then here’s the link and code for ordering a bio-energetic test for your pet:

If you choose NOT to order a bio-energetic test on your pet, here’s the info for addressing parasites on your own:
