Almost all puppies are born with intestinal parasites, which are passed from mother to pup during pregnancy. Although kittens are not infected when they’re born, they can become infected through their mother’s milk. Puppies can also become infected while they’re nursing.
We recommend deworming your puppy or kitten every 2 weeks, starting at 8 weeks of age until 14 weeks of age. Monthly deworming may be recommended following this depending on the time of year.
