How often should dogs be dewormed?

There are usually two types of external deworming drugs for dogs: drops and sprays. Dog owners can choose applications based on the actual situation of their dogs being infected with parasites. Drops and sprays have different effects and should be used according to the situation.

Dog external deworming generally depends on the age of the dog

Generally, puppies should be dewormed for the first time after they are weaned. Puppies under 6 months old are best dewormed once a month, and adult dogs are dewormed quarterly. The breeding bitch should be dewormed once before breeding. The nursing bitch can be dewormed at the same time as the puppies.
In order to improve the deworming effect, it is best to conduct a fecal examination before each deworming, and select appropriate deworming drugs based on the fecal examination results. It is worth noting that special deworming drugs are divided into puppies and adult dogs, and some are also classified according to the size of the dog. Be sure to pay attention to the distinction.
Generally, puppies should be checked once a month, and adult dogs should be checked every three months. Puppies should be dewormed for the first time 20 to 30 days after birth, and then every 2 to 4 months. Adult dogs should generally be dewormed once every quarter.
