Can my 12-week puppy get shots, wormer, and flea treatment same day?

Hello. There is no need to separate these two products. There are some heartworm products that should not be given within 2 weeks of some of tick & flea products such as Bravecto & Nexgard, but administering a dewormer will not cause a problem with your flea product. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Typically vaccinations are started at 6 weeks old. Pups can be dewormed with some medications starting at 2-3 weeks of age. If you plan to take them to your vet for vaccinations, I would call and ask what deworming protocol they recommend. Most flea medications are labeled for pups starting at 6-8 weeks or later if they are too small. The best thing for fleas is to treat Mom with frontline or advantage and manually remove fleas with a flea comb for now. Also keeping environment clean of fleas will help. Hope this helps.

Hello! We very routinely perform vaccines as well as give dewormers at the same visit. This should not be a problem as long as your puppy is healthy. We typically recommend 3 sets of vaccines (at 8, 12 and 16 weeks) and deworming every 2 weeks until they are over 4 months of age. Good job taking care of your puppy to keep him healthy!

You won't be able to find a tapeworm treatment over the counter so this is going to need to wait for your vet apointment (you could call them back and ask for a sooner apointment explaining the situation), you can buy an over the counter flea treatment though, Advantage spot on is safe to use on dogs from the age of 7 weeks.

Depending on what it is it is usually fine to give it that day. However if he was dewormed at the time of the appointment it may be best to wait. I recommend contacting your veterinarian when they're open tomorrow to ask/confirm when they want to give the medication

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Dan. It should be fine to give him the dewormer and heartworm medication on the same day. If you are concerned though, you can separate them by 24 hours giving the Trifexis is today and the dewormer later. I hope this information!

Yes, you can, no problems with that. Your vet can prescribe a good product which will treat both round and tapeworms. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
