I usually use some mild de-wormer like "Pyrantel" around 4 to 5 weeks, when i start weaning the pups. Then prior sending them home i give Panacur-c for 5 or 6 days. It is very mild and harmless, will get rid of all worms except one type of tape worms and Gyardia. even preggo moms can get panacur safely.
But one can never be 100% sure about worms, there are just so many factors to account in.
Also i do this schedule in agreement with every vet i ever had. Meaning i have consulted and gotten the aproval and recommendation to do so. but again, no vet will say that it guarantees that the puppies will not have worms when you send them home.
Coccidia can be passed by other animals feces... like birds. We removed our bird feeders after we learned that. But reptiles carry it, and i do not know what else. Just as my vet said, you can only do so much in prevention, do your best and know that you did your best.
