My 4-month-old puppy hasn't been dewormed. Is it too late to start?

Question

My dog is 4 months old and has never been dewormed. Is it too late to start? If not how often should I deworm her from now on?

Hello, this is a great question for your puppy. It is not too late for parasite control. Given his age and history of no dewormer it is recommended to take a fresh stool sample to your veterinarian. They will evaluate for what specific types of internal parasites he may have and get him started at least on a general dewormer. The dosing schedule and frequency of the dewormer will be deterimined by your veterinarian and the results of the fecal analysis. Thank you.
