Do all puppies need to be dewormed? Our only other dog was dewormed before we got hi from the breeder. I know Nanook has not been and the vet has not even asked about it. Is this something I should just do?? It is a silly question but I honestly do not know.

Yes, most if not all puppies are born with worms.

Yes puppies are usually born with worms, Cain has a case of roundworms but he is being treated for them. Make sure Nanook doesn't have worms because they can be potentially and extremely dangerous to smaller children that play or interact with the puppy.

I think it's every 14 days.

puppies should be wormed from the breeder at 4, 6, and 8 weeks. At 12 and 16 weeks re-worm, then annual worming (bi-annual as needed)-

Thank you, I guess I should get on that. Is it better to do it through the vet or yourself. Sounds like most of you handle it yourselves.

first you have to find out if your pup has worms so I would go to the vet they'll give you what you need

I do most of my own deworming, when I bring a new puppy into the kennel I just have the worming done by the vet when we are getting our puppy vaccinations- If that still doesn't take care of the problem I'll do my own again.

I do my own worming unless it doesn't go away and then I'll go in for a stool sample and have them help. I've never had worm issues though, they usually are gone after 12-14 weeks
