Almost all puppies are born with intestinal parasites, which are passed from mother to pup during pregnancy. Although kittens are not infected when they’re born, they can become infected through their mother’s milk. Puppies can also become infected while they’re nursing.
Puppies and kittens should both be dewormed every 2 weeks, starting at about 3 weeks of age, until they are 5 months old. When the animals are older, we will discuss deworming with you when come in for annual exam and vaccination appointments.
