My 9-week-old puppy was dewormed. Do I need more deworming treatments?

Question

Hi, I just got a 9 week old german shepherd pup. They told me they deepened him and got his first shots. For the deworming.... Do I need to do anything else for it. How do I make sure its done? Thank you in advance! Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 6 days old | 13 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Puppies should be dewormed multiple times and have their stool STILL checked for unusual parasites like coccidia and giardia. He will need another vaccine booster 3 weeks after the one the breeder gave. At that time I’d have him dewormed again and bring a stool sample. Your Vet will also start him on heartworm prevention which also has a dewormed in it. Besides taking the breeders word for it or seeing it on paper work there is mo other way to tell. I hope this helps!
