Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! No, cow's milk should not be given to puppies or dogs as it can cause gastrointestinal upset. Feeding cow milk will not have any effect on intestinal worms. If you suspect your puppy has intestinal worms, your puppy will need to be dewormed with an the appropriate deworming medication from your veterinarian. I hope this helps!
