I will try to help! I recommend giving Jax Drontal, it's an excellent deworming treatment you can get from a vet's office. As for food, brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I feed my dogs Iams, and they love it. If you want a supermarket brand of food, Purina One is excellent. I hope this helps!
