Default giardiasis

I purchased a puppy from a breeder and from the time I got him home he had loose stools. I figured it was the change of water and food. It never really cleared up entirely. I took him to the vet on Monday because he was crying when he tried to poop(he's 16 weeks old). They figured it was his anal glands. I took a stool specimen and It came back today with giardiasis. Is this a common parasite with breeders? I have 2 other dogs that I am now worried about. They share a common fenced in back yard. He had been wormed by the breeder but it didn't take care of the problem. The vet has given me some powder to mix in his food for a week and then to repeat in 3 weeks. None of my other dogs seem to have a problem. should I be worried about them too? And ME he sleeps with me.
