I would not buy a puppy that came fom a place with worm problems. My puppies do not get wormed because my adults do not have worms. And the only way a puppy could get worms is if they are in contact with dogs that have them. |
While I am of the mind set and practice of not over vaccinating/administering drugs unnecessarily......Worms should not be over looked and a collective puppy stool sample should be taken in for testing and deworm if the sample shows evidence of parasites.
Having too many dogs has nothing to do with contracting parasites, individual pets contract parasites just by the very nature of their activity.....
