After deworming, observing the changes in your dog's faeces is the most direct way. Under normal circumstances, the deworming medication will cause the parasites in the intestines to be eliminated from the body. You can pay attention to the following points:

After deworming, changes in the dog's behaviour are also one of the bases for determining whether it has been thoroughly dewormed:
- Appetite recovery: After deworming, the dog's appetite should gradually recover, and the loss of appetite previously caused by parasites will improve. - Energetic: After deworming, the dog will be more energetic, more active and behave more actively.

- Faecal examination: Regular faecal sample examination can effectively detect the presence of parasites. - Blood test: certain parasites will be detected through blood, such as the test for filariasis.

In order to ensure the effect of deworming, pet owners should pay attention to the following points when choosing deworming drugs and methods:
1. Choose the right drug: choose the right deworming drug according to the dog's age, weight and health condition. Especially in special cases such as puppies, pregnant dogs and old dogs, make sure to consult your veterinarian.

3. Do a good job of environmental hygiene: In addition to deworming your dog, cleaning your dog's living environment and taking regular baths can also effectively reduce the breeding of external parasites.
The health of dogs cannot be separated from scientific deworming management. By observing the feces, behavioural changes and regular physical examination, pet owners can effectively determine whether the deworming is thorough and clean.
