Prescription Worm Medicine for Dogs

Help your dog kick parasites to the curb with parasite & deworming medicine. Chewy has a great selection of worm medicine for dogs, including tapeworm medicine, roundworm and hookworm treatment, and ringworm medicine. We also have several combination products that get rid of several types of worms at once.

Most types of prescription worm medicine come as oral medications in tablet, chewable tablet, or soft chew form. Many treat tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms and whipworms, as well. These treatments can protect for a month or more and help break the cycle of parasite reinfection. Younger dogs may need a special puppy worm medicine, or an adult medicine in a smaller dose.

In addition to deworming pills, you can get prescription parasiticides to treat conditions like mange and ear mites. Some of these are long-acting topicals that protect against fleas and ticks, too. Dogs with ringworm will need an antifungal medicine and not a dewormer, since ringworm is not actually caused by a worm.

Perhaps one of the most important prescription medicines you will need for your dog is a heartworm preventative prescribed by your vet. See your vet for a heartworm test and a prescription and remember to give your dog his medication year-round. You can find everything you need to keep your furry friends healthy in the Chewy pet pharmacy. Shop for dog parasite medicine, worm medicine for cats, preventative flea and tick products and everything else to keep your best friend pest-free and feeling healthy.
