Puppy deworming is divided into internal deworming and external deworming. Usually, external deworming is done once a month, and internal deworming is done once every 1-3 months. Among them, for internal parasites, most of them are given anthelmintic drugs. The drugs can be mixed with food or fed directly using a medicine feeder. For external parasites, we usually use drops, usually on the dog’s neck. This is to prevent the dog from vomiting after licking the anthelmintic.

What should be paid attention to when deworming dogs:

1. Do not take a bath before or after deworming. It is best not to bathe it for a few days before and after deworming, as this will affect the effect of the deworming medicine. Moreover, the dog’s body resistance will be reduced at this time, and it is easy to catch a cold if you take a bath.

2. Do not take medicine on an empty stomach. When feeding anthelmintics, do not feed the dog on an empty stomach. After all, the anthelmintics are stimulating to a certain extent, so it is best to wait half an hour after the dog eats.

3. Stagger the time of deworming and vaccination. Deworming and vaccination will make the dog temporarily weak, so it is best to stagger the time of the two, so as to have a certain relief time for the dog's gastrointestinal tract.
