How long does it take for a puppy to rid of worms?

All dogs and puppies should be dewormed. It you actually see the worms in the stools of the dog, you need to deworm it immediately. Take a stool sample to your Veterinarian and get it checked out to see what other internal parasites your pup may have. If the worm looked like spaghetti, then it is roundworms or if it looked like little grains of rice, then it is tapeworms but there are many other kinds too. You can deworm your pup yourself too. Go to a pet store or feedstore and get a dewormer that gets all the worms such as tapes, roundworms, hookworms, etc. Be sure to repeat the deworming in 10-14 days after the first deworming to catch any baby worms that were not caught the first time. It would be best to take your pup in to be checked out by your Veterinarian.
