Now without realizing it, the last part of this legendary song could be a common scenario not only for a lot of kids, but also for people in general. How easy is it to catch worms from our pets? Here’s a little rap song I created myself to help explain it 🙂
Pet dog or cat walks down the street,
Some old poo ends up on their feet.
Your pet gets home, gives feet a lick,
Are you starting to feel sick?
It looks just like they are cleaning legs,
But really they’re ingesting eggs!
Now for something even more foul,
These eggs turn to worms in your pet’s bowel.
Thousands of eggs these worms deliver,
Oh that’s gross it makes me shiver.
Then eggs are shed from your pets bum,
Dog or cat licks here – for them its yum!
Out to the yard with the kids to play,
The sun is shining it such a nice day.
Then all of a sudden the dog does race,
To greet you with a big lick in the face!
You’ve now eaten worm eggs.
NICE!!!
So what can we do to prevent this?
- Parasite Protection – have a chat with us about the best worming product for your pet
- Pick up your pets poo – wherever you are!
- Personal hygiene – wash your hands and teach your kids to wash.
So if I may break into a different song this time and quote a much-loved children’s author Julia Donaldson –
“Super worm is super long
Super worm is super strong”
Now lets all EXTERMINATE those superworms!
Hip hip hooray for Advocate/Drontal/Panoramis/Sentinel!!
