All adult dogs need to be wormed every three months for effective protection. For peace of mind when it comes to worms, it is always useful to understand how often and when you need to be worming your puppy. That way, you can ensure you are protecting their, and your, continued good health.

Weakness – this can also be a sign of other problems, as well as a sign of a large worm infestation. Weight loss – again, this can be a sign of a multitude of different problems, but also a sign of a large worm infestation. Worms steal nutrition from the host, which can lead to weight loss in your pet.

Is it too late to deworm my dog?

It is not too late for parasite control. Given his age and history of no dewormer it is recommended to take a fresh stool sample to your veterinarian. They will evaluate for what specific types of internal parasites he may have and get him started at least on a general dewormer.

How Long Can dogs go with worms?

Puppies will typically poop worms for 2-3 days after they have been dewormed. However, you may still find some worms in your puppy's excrement up to a week after deworming.

Do you need to regularly deworm your dog?

Every time you give a deworming pill you get rid of any adult worms that are living in the intestines. If there is a large number, you may see them pass in the stool (they look like a pile of spaghetti). Currently, we recommend monthly deworming for all dogs in the summer months.
