Should puppies be wormed every 2 weeks?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

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.


How often should deworming be done for puppies?

Puppies and Kittens need to be dewormed more often: It is recommended that your puppy or kitten is dewormed every 2 weeks until they reach 3 months of age. Puppies and kittens are usually born with parasites passed on from mom (even if mom is dewormed) before they are born.

Is it okay to deworm a puppy every week?

Before you pick them up from your breeder or rescue center, your puppy should be wormed by them every week from two/three weeks until they are twelve weeks old. Once you have your puppy at home, you will most likely be given a wormer by your Veterinarian.

Can you deworm a puppy too often?

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.
