deworms
Rids of parasites
Deworms means to rid an animal of parasitic worms, typically through medication: We deworm the puppies at six weeks.
Pet owners and farmers deworm livestock and companion animals regularly as preventive care.
The word applies to humans too, especially in contexts of tropical medicine or child health programs.
