Is it safe to deworm my 2-week-old puppies and how often?

I usually go by age vs weight. It is safe to give healthy kittens that are two weeks old and older. Usually it is repeated every two weeks and the dosage is calculated by their weight. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your kittens.

This is correct. That medication has a very wide dosing range and it is very safe. Resistance to this medications is starting to becoming a problem so we have started to use the higher end of the dose range.

You should really have a vet do that. It is very easy to overdose a puppy that small and that could be deadly. Not only that, but the dewormer you can buy over the counter is not very good and only usually is effective for one type of worm and often not safe to use in puppies that young. Your vet will have the best and safest products to use. Please let your vet do that for you. It is better to be safe than sorry. Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to post again if you need more assistance. Best wishes!

In looking up RFD dewormer, it is safe to use on puppies as young as two weeks of age, so you can use it on Loki's puppies. Dose their according to the their weight and follow the dosage instructions on the package. If Loki has worms, then it is likely her puppies have worms as well because they are contagious. I do recommend giving them the deworming treatment. I hope this helps!

Almost all puppies get worms from their mother so it would be best to start deworming before 8 weeks of age. The amount of times the puppy needs to be dewormed really depends on the type of dewormer that is used. It also depends on the type of parasites that the puppy has. The best thing is to deworm him and then have a fecal sample tested for parasites at one of his puppy visits.

The amount of dewormer they get is dependent upon the specific dewormer your are using. There should be instructions on the label about how much to give the puppies based upon the body weight. You can also have them examined by the vet who will be able to get to correct weight and give a dewormer accurately. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

You can buy a puppy wormer from your vet or a pet shop and worm the puppies exactly according to the instructions on the packaging and their weight, Please do not over or underdose them. Make sure the dewormer is suitable for puppies.
