After taking an internal dewormer, a dog generally absorbs it and it takes effect within a few hours; the exact time depends on the chosen product and the dog’s own absorption. If parasites are present, the dog usually passes them within 2 days.
A topical dewormer is absorbed immediately, but it takes about 2-3 days to spread through the whole body, during which the dog must not be bathed.
