| 8 week old yorkie pup- deworming help We have a new puppy and asked our vet for some dewormer. She's 8 weeks old. They said Virbantel, 1/4 now and 1/4 in 4 weeks. I trust this vet, but I like to double check things. When I google it, it says to use in dogs over 12 weeks. What should I use for a puppy dewormer? Thanks |

| The pill is to be cut into quarters. Get a pill cutter if you do not have one and give 1/4 of that pill. You say you trust your vet, follow their instructions. I googled it see chart below. One pill would be for a puppy weighing 12 Lbs. you are giving 1/4 of a pill not the entire pill. Directions: Each flavored chewable contains 30 mg of pyrantel pamoate and 30 mg of praziquantel. The dose for each drug is 2.27 mg per pound of body weight (5 mg/kg). Please refer to the following dosing table for help finding the right dose for your dog. VIRBANTEL® Flavored Chewables Dosing Table Dog Weight Number of Chewables 6.0 to 12 pounds:...1 Chewable 12.1 to 25 pounds:2 Chewables More than 25 pounds:Use 114 mg size.
