How often should dogs be dewormed?

Dogs’ internal deworming is also carried out according to their age. Puppies under 6 months old are usually dewormed once every 1 to 2 months, and dogs after 6 months old are usually dewormed once every 3 to 4 months. If your dog has the habit of eating raw meat, it is best to do internal deworming every three months. The specific deworming situation still needs to be adjusted according to diet, living habits, and season.

Precautions for deworming dogs:

1. If the dog is pregnant, it is best to consult a doctor before using medication, otherwise it may harm the health of the fetus and also May cause stillbirth or miscarriage.

2. If the dog goes out less often or takes a bath frequently, the interval between deworming can be extended, but deworming cannot be ignored.

3. Even if no parasites are found on the dog, the dog must be dewormed regularly.
