| I've read that if the puppies test negative you do not have to deworm them. What's the point in giving them meds when they do not need them, right? I figured it would be doing more harm then good. Ofcoure my vet had a different view on the subject. He believed it was better to deworm, just in case they do have worms and we just cant find a sample with worms. My four little ones tested negative so I did not deworm them. (the vet even offered to do it for free) But I am planning on testing them everytime I go in for the shots. |

| If momma and babies do not have worms, there is no reason to deworm. I do not believe in medicating dogs for no reason. There are brands listed in the breeders section if you want to worm anyway.
