How often should you worm your dog??

[lv4dogs]

My puppie Yollie has only been wormed once.Should she be wormed more??We will be going to the visitig vet the first of next mo,but I was just wondering, thanks for so much information..

The person you got her from should of told you if she was due for another series or not. Do you have the vet paperwork from the person you got her from?

I do all mine once a year with Strongid, usually, sometimes Panacur. I only do it that often because I feed alot of wild game and fish--and my dogs are big hunters, they like to eat squirrels and mice so the odds of them getting worms are little higher. With so many of them I could never figure out who's got what from a fecal exam so I just do them all at the same time.

This year I did them all with Droncit, but that darn near broke the bank. It was over 500 bucks. Strongid and Panacur are much cheaper and my dogs think Strongid is a caramel flavored treats! Silly mutts!

When I had fewer dogs, I had fecal tests done if I suspected worms and then medicated with whatever the vet recommended.

I typically don't worm unless I suspect my pups of having worms.

Heartworm however is higher risk depending on where you live so if you live in a high-risk area I suggest giving the preventative monthly
