Donating YT 11K Club Member | Deworming Do adult Yorkies have to be dewarmed every 3 months to prevent worms and bacteria? Mine haven't gotten dewormed since they were puppies..does this have to be done as adults?

| No it does not but some vets do it as a precaution. They do need fecals regularly to see if they have worms and require treatment though. Some heartworm meds are also intestinal dewormers anyway. Ellie has only been dewormed once in adulthood and that was only as a precaution and was really totally unnecessary.
