Hello, I’m a vet student. There are currently no "natural" wormers that have been proven effective enough against worms in dogs or cats.
Garlic and certain essential oils should be avoided in particular, as they can be toxic, while diatomaceous earth or pumpkin seeds are no substitute for a licensed treatment.
All effective worming treatments contain an active ingredient, but they are used at a specific dose tailored to the animal's weight and species.
If you want to avoid unnecessary treatments, your vet can offer faecal tests and set up a programme based on their age, outdoor access, diet, and hunting habits.
So, please don't give any product, even if it's marketed as natural, without advice from your vet.
Kind regards,
Romane
