Deworming Schedule
Veterinary recommendations vary for deworming
puppies, but we recommend deworming at LEAST by 6 weeks of age
and again at 3 months of age.
A schedule beginning at 2 weeks with deworming
every 2 weeks through the 8th week is recommended by some vets,
while others recommend deworming for the first time at 6 weeks.
We deworm our puppies at least twice prior to weaning (generally
4 and 6 weeks), and hope you'll continue with at least monthly
deworming unless your veterinarian recommends otherwise.
