Can I give my 6-week puppy an OTC dewormer after his Parvo shot?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 11 days old | 1lb

Can I give my 6 week puppy an over the counter dewormer? He had his Parvo shot 2 days ago and I want to make sure that I don't interfere with his vaccines.

A dewormer should not interfere with recent vaccination. Ideally, you should check with your veterinarian before medicating Dino. A stool sample submitted for analysis can diagnose intestinal parasites and may aid in more effective treatment.
