【Expert answer】
Any Q

As with any oral medication, dogs can occasionally vomit shortly after taking the dose. If your pet is a puppy or has a habit of eating food or drinking water too quickly and getting sick, monitor them for vomiting for two to three hours after administering the deworming tablet.


What happens after dog deworming?

After worming your pet, your dog may pass out dead worms and this is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Sometimes, they may show some slight movement, such as a flicking motion, but the worms will go on to die.

How do you know if dog dewormer is working?

Most deworming treatments work in two to six hours after administration. Some medications will dissolve the worms while some will paralyze them. Paralyzed worms pass through the intestinal tract and are passed out in your puppy's poop. This is why you will notice that your puppy poops worms after deworming.

How long does it take for a dog to feel better after deworming?

Deworming treatments start working within a few hours. Studies show deworming medications are 98% to 100% effective at eliminating parasites such as roundworms, which are often present in puppies at birth after being passed through the placenta or mother's milk.
