Many of you might not want to disclose your deworming schedules, but I'd like some input on this.

If we routinely worm our puppies at 5 weeks old, isn't it still possible for them to have been reinfested by the time we sell them at 10+ weeks.

Do you think that by routine deworming, when there is no indication of worms, that we could be causing parasites, including giardia and coccidia to become more resistant?
