It has been many years since any of mine had worms. If you let your dog outside it is possible for your dogs to get worms. Besides worms one of the most important thing to watch for is coccidia. I bet more puppies die and get sick from coccidia than anything else. Coccidia will often show up when the pups are around 5 to 7 weeks when they are being weaned or, if the breeder sells them to early, the puppy will get an outbreak caused by the stress of going to a new home. Coccidia is hard to diagnosis unless the dog is actually having an outbreak. If at any time very young puppies start having watery diarrhea you should take the puppies to the vet immediately. Albon is used to treat coccidia.
