Can puppies be safely treated for worms?

Answer 1

Yes, you need to continue to treat every two weeks until it reach 12 weeks of age and then you need to treat at least once a month for precaution because puppies like to eat everything and the worm parasite exists in the dirt or in other animal feces.

Answer 2

Many Vets routinely recommend deworming puppies as some intestinal worms are easily passed from mom to puppies before they're born. Deworming is easy and relatively inexpensive, considering the risk of the puppies passing some worms to humans, especially children who like to cuddle and kiss the puppies and let the puppies lick their face. Your Vet can give you the best advice about intestinal parasites prevalent in your area, and which ones your puppies should be treated for.

Answer 3

Absolutely, although there are fewer medications that are considered safe for puppies versus adult dogs. Your veterinarian will typically worm all puppies when they present for their first and second vaccines because worms are extremely common in this age group of dogs.

Answer 4

Yes, you should. Worms are not good for dogs and puppies to have and if not dewormed, it could affect the health of your puppy. You should take your puppy to the vet as soon as you can.

Answer 5

yes, you can get them very easily. get some de-worming tablets for your dog and get some for yourself aswell. (make sure they're for HUMANS though!)
