Can dogs be dewormed twice?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

We advise regular worming of puppies from birth to 6 months of age. Puppies 6 months of age and adult dogs are advised to be routinely wormed three to four times a year. It is safest to discuss which wormer to use with your vet to ensure it is safe for your dog, its life stage and that the correct dose is given. 7 мая 2013 г.


How many times can you deworm a dog?

Puppies should be wormed every two weeks until twelve weeks of age, then monthly until six months of age. Once they have reached six months of age, a puppy can transfer onto an 'adult' worming schedule. All adult dogs need to be wormed every three months for effective protection.

Can you deworm a dog too often?

Yes, you can worm your dog too often! And it has no obvious benefit. In fact, over-worming your dog can actually backfire, and make your dog build up a tolerance – you most certainly don't want that.

Can deworming be repeated?

Taking them once in prescribed dose is sufficient. In case of serious worm infestations like tape worm, deworming is repeated after 2 weeks to kill the migratory larva forms of the worm thus breaking the life cycle.

How long do you wait to worm a dog again?

It is recommended that you deworm from the age of two weeks, and every two weeks after that until your dog is three months old. At this point, you can scale back to deworming monthly until your puppy the six-month mark. After six months, it is recommended that you continue deworming your dog every three months.
