For puppies, the first deworming can be carried out at about 2 months, and adult dogs can be dewormed once a month.

Although dogs can't speak, they will express through physical symptoms. If they have the following symptoms, it means that it is time to deworm the dog.
1. Dogs often rub their buttocks on the ground, and the itching is unbearable. It is very likely that they are infected with the internal parasite tapeworm.
2. The dog is always itching on a certain part of the body, and there are also pustules, scabs, redness, swelling, and hair loss on the body, which may be infected with external parasites.
3 When brushing the dog, I found small black worms, the particles were blood-colored after dissolving in water, and they were infected with fleas.
4 The dog's appetite is normal, but the weight has not increased, and even become thin, with obvious ribs, which may be infected with tapeworms, roundworms and other internal parasites and rob it of nutrients.
5 The dog's stool is abnormal, and there are worms in the excrement, which is infected with internal parasites.

For deworming dogs, you can choose the corresponding dog deworming drugs, which are divided into internal deworming drugs, external deworming drugs, and internal and external deworming drugs.
Here I mainly talk about external deworming drugs, because summer has arrived, dogs are more likely to be infected with fleas and ticks, so when deworming dogs, you need to pay extra attention to these two kinds of external parasites.
Final summary: Spring and summer are coming, and parasites are also rampant. Remember to deworm your dog before taking it out to play, it is more secure~
