Take Your Dog to the nearest veterinarian

It’s a best practice to get your dog dewormed. Go to your nearest veterinarian and he would suggest the best Dewarming drug. The veterinarian may prescribe you deworming drugs in the form of tablet or syrup through oral route administration.

Deworming kills the adult stage of the worm. But the existing eggs may hatch and additional deworming is necessary. For this reason, your veterinarian is likely to recommend multiple doses if needed.

Being a pet owner, never wait for any unhealthy symptoms in your dogs. Beacuse many puppies will show no signs at all. It is important to understand that different worms and parasites require different medications. This is why you should take a stool sample to your veterinarian for the proper diagnosis. The sample should be as fresh as possible. You may keep it in the refrigerator until you can take it to your veterinarian.

The confirmatory diagnosis comes to the Feacal examination.
