It is even possible for our furry little friends to transmit their intestinal parasites to humans. A proper deworming protocol is the best way to protect our pets and ourselves from infestation. Puppies and kittens should be dewormed every 2 weeks until 3 months of age, then once a month until 6 months of age.


When should puppies be wormed and vaccinated?

Puppies should be dewormed at 2 weeks of age (before ascarid eggs are passed in the stool) and again at 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. Then, it's prudent to put them on a monthly heartworm preventive for life that also protects the dog against other parasites, or at least continue monthly deworming for six months.

Is it okay to deworm and vaccinate a puppy at the same time?

Can a puppy be dewormed and vaccinated on the same day? The answer is no. Dogs should not be given shots and deworming treatment on the same day. The reason for this is because of how both vaccines and deworming treatments act on the dog's body.

When should deworming be done in puppies?
