My dog has worms. Is it safe to continue deworming him daily?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 2 months and 3 days old | 41 lbs

I dewormed leo today because he had soft stool for 2 days and a live worm came out one time and after deworming ,quite a few dead worms came out. so the vet recommended to continue deworming for next 2 or 3 days. is that ok to continue deworm him? or will it make him feel super weak? how can i know if he still has worms in him? when will he get his normal stool again? sorry for a lot of questions and thanks in advanced.

The frequency of treatment depends on the product used - some are recommended for use daily for 3-10days depending on the amount of worms and previous treatment, some should only be used every 2-4weeks. Contact your vets office to confirm the prescribed dose and frequency for the product you have. Pups should be dewormed at least monthly until 6 months of age and then every 1-3months depending on where you live and local parasite risks
