May I ask how old your puppy is? That worming SHOULD have already been done by the breeder before you got the puppy. I guess that is just a breeders choice, but I do not like to send new owners home with "medical chores" needing to be done. If you had forgotten what to do and had accidently given the pup the entire envelope, could have had some major problems. FYI: This is not an OTC wormer, vets and breeders use it, ...I am thinking the vet will check the baby for worms and if he is clean, he will forget the final missed dose.
