Do dogs need regular deworming?

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.

Can I deworm my dog too often?
