Any Q

A puppy should be wormed as early as two weeks of age. By the time a puppy is old enough to go to a new, forever home (ideally 8 weeks of age, after weaning) it's vital to maintain a deworming program to ensure your pet stays healthy and comfortable.


What age do you worm and flea puppies?

Because they can inherit worms from their mothers, worming treatment in puppies should be started early. 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.

When Should newborn puppies be wormed?

Worming the puppies: Pups should be wormed for the first time at 2 weeks of age, then at 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks old (fortnightly until 12 weeks of age). After this they can be wormed monthly until they are 12 months old.

What Dewormer is safe for 2 week old puppies?

Most veterinarians will agree that pyrantel (Nemex; Zoetis) is the best medication to use in the earliest phases of puppy or kittenhood. Safe enough for 2-week-old pediatric patients, this drug is used by most breeders and shelters to begin killing parasitic roundworms and hookworms.
