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.


What is the best time to deworm a dog?

We recommend starting your dog's deworming treatments in the springtime, once the snow has melted and the ground is no longer frozen, and to continue every month until winter. Some dewormers are best administered on an empty stomach, and always read the label carefully.

How often should deworming be done in dogs?

These guidelines recommend that if regular deworming is used, animals should be treated at least 4 times a year, with no more than 3 months between each treatment. This is based on some research indicating that dropping treatment to 3-4 times per year had no effect on parasite levels.
