A dog can start deworming at about 2 months old. Because young puppies have weak resistance, use gentle, reputable dewormers or have a vet do it.

Avoid raw meat and unwashed vegetables, skip grassy areas, and keep the home clean to cut parasite risk.

How to Tell If Your Cat’s Deworming Worked
If a cat already had worms, check a week later: no eggs or live worms in the stool means internal parasites are cleared, and parting the coat should show no fleas, lice, or ticks. Mites need a skin scrape and healing check. If signs remain, use a correctly matched product and repeat in 10-15 days.
