How often should pups be wormed, I have been led to believe that it is every 3 months is that correct??
Is that for the rest of their lives???

Thank you!!!!

Just for as long as you don't want them to have worms! :D  Just kidding, it is advisable to worm dogs every three months, at least every 6 months.  I get my supply from my vet when I take them for their boosters, and just mark on the calendar when they are due their next one.  And yes, if you don't want your dogs to risk picking up worms, you need to continue worming them for the rest of their lives.

Thanks, Ron was last wormed on June 30th so he will be due end of Sep I guess.

The last thing I want is those little wiggly monsters in my pups! yuck!!

Just a note to say that for those who aren't aware, wormers bought from supermarkets are not particularly effective.  They should be obtained from your vet ....... or much cheaper (usually post free) from a canine pharmacy.  No prescription is required for wormers.

How old is 'pups'?  New pups should be wormed every 2 weeks, we worm our older dogs every 3 months with drontal plus

We have a 3mth old and a 5mth old.The younger has recently been wormed...

Oh gawd! Have we not been doing it regularly enough....!!!!
