Natural Dewormer, taking care of your pets as nature intended

What is Herbal Dewormer?

Dogs are adventurous and use their noses and mouths like we use our fingers and eyes. They often further explore by ingesting what they’ve found. Things like rodents, trashcans, lapping up some dirty pond water, or even taste-testing roadkill, are all fairly common activities for our beloved four-legged friends. Herbal dewormer works with your dog to rid their gastrointestinal tract of unwanted parasites, to include protozoan infections, worms, and even help with balancing bacteria.
