Fall Worming Your Pet Is An Absolute Necessity
Fall is my favorite time of year. The air is clearer and evenings are cooler. All around nature is preparing for the long cold winter ahead. It’s also time to think about worming your pet. Colder temperatures change the needs of your pets and require that they use more calories and energy to stay warm and healthy.
All animals need to be able to maintain a good weight and stay in optimal health during the winter. If your pet’s body is compromised due to worms and parasite infection, they are already at a disadvantage heading into winter. They can’t possibly maintain a proper weight and a healthy immune system to ward off illness. Worming your four legged friend should a top priority!
How Do Dogs and Cats Get Worms?
Adult dogs and cats pick up worms from eggs that stay in the soil after infected pets have defecated. Some worm eggs can survive for years in the soil.
Pets also pick up worms from:
- Eating fleas
- Catching prey, such as mice and snails
- Eating feces of other pets and farm animals
- Over ¾ of fecal exams do not find parasites present in feces.
- Because puppies & kittens are born with worms, they should be dewormed regularly.
- Some worms that infect pets also infect people
How Do Horses Get Worms?
Worms live as eggs or larvae in the grazing pasture, in feed, in a mare’s milk, on horses’ coats, via flying insects and throughout your horses’ living environment.
Worms therefore spread among horses by:
- contamination via feces
- feeding, grazing
- flying insects
- shared pastures
- direct contact
- feed buckets
The reality of an infestation is easy to understand if you consider that a parasite will lay eggs in the intestinal tract which then are excreted via the stool. This ends up in your yard and/or pasture, where the eggs hatch and larvae appear.

These little parasites then find their way onto the grass and these small creatures can even inhabit a single drop of dew, where they are picked up by your dog or cat when they are outside, or a horse as it feeds. Once ingested, the larvae enters the animal’s intestinal tract where they briefly hibernate before undergoing a change that will send them into the next stage of life where the entire process starts again. It’s a never ending viscous cycle. But a plan for worming your pet regularly will break that cycle for good!
Good news is it’s easy to break the cycle of re-infestation.

“Really impressed with how well this HerbaWorm Naturally worked. My Vet advised against it and said it wouldn’t work. But to his surprise, the before and after fecal exams showed that it worked better than the regular paste wormer I have been using for years. I feel much better using this regularly than I do using chemicals wormers on my horse. Glad I found your site!
