ParaGard

ParaGard is a specialised animal health brand owned by Boehringer Ingelheim that provides comprehensive intestinal worm protection for dogs across Australia. The brand offers a range of liver flavoured allwormer tablets designed to treat and control all major gastrointestinal parasites including roundworm, hookworm, and whipworm.

A key feature of the ParaGard range is its effective control of tapeworms, including the potentially dangerous hydatid tapeworm commonly found in rural environments. These palatable tablets are suitable for use in puppies from 2 weeks of age and can be administered with or without food to simplify the dosing process.

As part of the Boehringer Ingelheim portfolio, ParaGard is backed by the same pharmaceutical expertise that produces the NexGard and HeartGard ranges. Owners often choose this broad spectrum treatment as a reliable quarterly solution for adult dogs or a fortnightly preventive for growing puppies.
