The schedule

Puppy and dog deworming schedule

Puppies need treatment more often than adult dogs. The schedule is based on age.

  1. 3–12weeks
    Step 1

    Every two weeks

    Deworm every two weeks from 3 to 12 weeks of age. Puppies can acquire worms through their mother's milk or before birth.

    Every 2 weeksPuppies
  2. 12weeks
    Step 2

    Every four weeks

    From 12 weeks, deworm every four weeks until 6 months of age.

    Every 4 weeksGrowing dogs
  3. 6months+
    Step 3

    Every three months

    From 6 months, continue deworming every three months through adulthood. Regular treatment is important because there is no preventative for intestinal worms.

  • HookwormsThese attach to the intestinal lining and feed on blood.

Why PetsFirst

What to expect from a dog deworming visit

Deworming is simple, but the right treatment still depends on the dog.

Age matters

Puppies and adult dogs follow different schedules.

Treatment is specific

Cazital Plus treats tapeworm, roundworm, hookworm and whipworm.

Regular treatment

Adult dogs should continue treatment every three months.

Fleas matter too

Fleas can transmit tapeworms, so external parasite control is worth discussing with your vet.

Signs your dog may have worms

Intestinal worms can cause gastrointestinal problems, malnutrition and poor growth if left untreated.

  • Diarrhoea
  • Digestive problems
  • Poor growth
  • Weight or condition changes

Alia Oumeish, a PetsFirst pet parent in DubaiAlia OumeishCat parent · Google reviewThe staff were so friendly, and very kind and caring to my little cat. They did an excellent job and kept both me and Leo comfortable. Would definitely recommend! We dealt with Dr. Chinnu, Dr. Lamiya, Arpita, and Emmanuel, who gave Leo the best haircut he's ever had — all incredibly lovely.

Highly recommended.
Arbina Shaikh, a PetsFirst pet parent in DubaiArbina ShaikhCat parent · Google reviewI've been going to PetsFirst since they opened in City Walk, and honestly I'm beyond satisfied. They take care of my cats so well — the staff even remember the names of each of my four cats whenever we visit. They don't overcharge, and their prices are so reasonable. Super happy with PetsFirst, 10 out of 10.

Adult dogs should be dewormed every three months.
