How to deworm dogs at home

Puppies infected with intestinal worms will develop symptoms such as loss of appetite, delayed growth, weight loss, vomiting, lower abdomen, constipation, and abdominal pain. Puppies should receive treatment for the first time at the age of 20, once a month until half a year old, and once every three months after half a year.
