The puppy I just brought home may be about 1 month old. I want to deworm the dog, but if it is too early, I am afraid it will be bad for the dog’s health. If it is too late, I am afraid it is too late. If there are fleas or other insects, it will not only be the pets that will suffer, but also the people at home will be bitten by fleas. Normally, how long does it take for a puppy to be dewormed?
