Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 3 months and 26 days old | 6 lbs

My puppy, (rescue) mixed breed, about 6 lb., 4 months old, needs to be wormed. I saw a round worm in his stool. He is eating well, playing and sleeping well. I want to act quickly for his sake and our elderly chihuahua as well. I have not see anything in her stool. Pls recommend a med(s) suitable for each of them. Preferably a broad spectrum medicine. Thank you, Judy

You can get any puppy wormer available from the pet store or your vet. For your elderly chihuahua you can get any dog wormer available. Sentry, Panacur, Safeguard are some wormers suitable. for dogs and will cover all worms except tape worms
