Dog deworming & vaccination

Prevention is quiet work. A dewormed, vaccinated dog rarely makes a story, and that is precisely the point: fewer emergencies, fewer preventable deaths and safer streets for people too.

01

Why preventive care comes first

Heavy worm loads leave puppies weak, stunted and vulnerable to infections that a healthier animal would survive. Vaccination protects against diseases that spread quickly among unprotected street populations and, in the case of rabies, affects human safety as well.

Preventive drives are also the least invasive way to build trust with the dogs and with the people who live alongside them.

How a preventive drive works

Every animal is treated as an individual case, assessed by the attending veterinarian on the day.

  • Area planning with residents and volunteers who know the dogs
  • Individual assessment of age, weight and general condition by a veterinarian
  • Deworming and vaccination administered only as the veterinarian advises
  • Records maintained per animal to support the next round
  • Follow-up visits, since most preventive care depends on repetition

Records and follow-up

Preventive care only works when it is repeated on schedule. We keep simple, practical records of animals covered so that later rounds are accurate rather than guesswork.

Where a dog is found to need treatment beyond preventive care, the case is referred for veterinary attention.

Not medical advice

This page describes our programme, not a treatment protocol. Dosages, vaccine choice and schedules differ by animal, age, weight and health status, and must be decided by a registered veterinary professional. We do not publish a universal schedule and we do not advise on medication.
