How often should my dog be dewormed?

From a preventative standpoint, your dog should be dewormed year-round. We have products that not only prevent heartworm, fleas, and ticks, but also intestinal parasites. This one prevents against roundworms and hookworms, but all of these definitely supply some of that in terms of prevention. An annual stool sample is really good to check and rule out; if your dog is on prevention, the likelihood that we have intestinal parasites is low, but it's always something to rule out.

It depends. If they're on a heartworm preventative, a lot of times they already have the medication on board but if we're seeing them as puppies or brand new dogs, a lot of times we do have to start the deworming process beforehand.
