Expert Answer

After bringing a puppy home, observe about a week; if stool is normal with no sneezing or runny nose, then deworm. Weigh it first to set the correct dose, avoiding under-dosing or poisoning from overdose.

For external deworming, fit an Elizabethan collar after applying to prevent licking poison.
