Deworming
Worms are an inevitable part of a puppy’s life, so knowing the symptoms to look out for and establishing a puppy worming schedule is important. Young puppies may be born with worms, and are still developing their immune system. For this reason, puppies should be dewormed early in their life, most often at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks of age. Once your puppy reaches 12 weeks, you can continue to treat your puppy every three months for life with an effective all wormer. I use Pyrantel Pamoate at 2 and 4 weeks and switch to panacur at 6 weeks and on.
