Here's why:
* Absorption: Food helps the deworming medication to absorb properly into the bloodstream, making it more effective.
* Gastrointestinal upset: Some deworming medications can cause nausea or vomiting. Feeding your dog can help settle their stomach and reduce the chance of these side effects.
However, it's important to follow the instructions on the deworming medication's label. Some medications may have specific instructions regarding feeding your dog before or after administration.
If you have any concerns, always consult your veterinarian for personalized advice.
