My 8-week-old puppy pooped roundworms. Are they all gone or will there be more?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

My dog just pooped out a pile of roundworm. He is only 8 weeks old and i’m assuming it came from the mother. Do you think all the worms are gone or is there probably more ?

There will be more! Give Toby a deworming treatment like Panacur or Drontal. He will need one every two weeks until he is 12 weeks old. Then one every month until he is six months of age, and after that he should be dewormed once every three months.
