This is difficult to decide without knowing what wormer you are using. You may want to use a different wormer for your dog. Also do not use a wormer containing ivermectin. You may also want to take some fresh poop to your veterinarian and have it examined for worm eggs. If your vet cannot find any, then your dog may not have enough worms to warrant worming and you can delay the treatment.
