My pitbull just had puppies 2 weeks ago. I hear to start deworming the puppies at 6 weeks. I will bring them into Petco animal veterinary clinic. Do you know roughly how much the cost will be for 7 puppies? I called and spoke with one of the Petco employees and he said it will be cheaper and low cost compared to doing it myself and taking them to the vet. Thank you.

Puppies should actually start deworming treatments from two weeks of age, so I would recommend giving them those treatments now. Yes you can deworm them yourself, Panacur is an excellent dewormer that is safe to give them at two weeks of age. Follow the dosing instructions on the bottle. You can get it at a pet store. As for the cost of deworming them, it's $21 for a roundworm and hookworm dewormer per animal, but some places may give a discount for multiple animals. You'd have to speak to the vet at your local VetCo to see if that's possible. At six to eight weeks of age, I'd definitely recommend having them seen by a vet for their first vaccines, and I've put a link below to VetCo's vaccine prices so you know them ahead of time. Best of luck, I hope this helps! https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/
