Congratulations on your new puppy. Deworming susually start at around 4-6 weeks of age and vaccines start at around 8 weeks so Coco is a little behind schedule and should get these done right away. I would recommend scheduling an appt with your local vet as soon as possible and to not expose Coco to any unvaccinated pets or to the outside until she is fully vaccinated. Best wishes!
