The amount of dewormer they get is dependent upon the specific dewormer your are using. There should be instructions on the label about how much to give the puppies based upon the body weight. You can also have them examined by the vet who will be able to get to correct weight and give a dewormer accurately. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
