Puppy Growth

Where can you buy a natural dewormer suitable for a growing puppy?

Even when kept in a spotless environment, puppies are often infected with worms. Although this may seem harmless, worms in dogs can transmit numerous diseases and cause symptoms such as diarrhea, weight loss, blood clotting disorders, or a weakened immune system... That’s why it’s essential to deworm puppies from the very start of their lives using appropriate products.

Why Should You Deworm Your Puppy Right from the Start?

It’s important to deworm your puppy to protect it from intestinal worms. This also helps protect your family members from infection by these parasites.

Infection with roundworms can occur through the puppy’s mother if she is a carrier of this type of parasite. The larvae of this parasite migrate through the body of the infected animal. During nursing, roundworm larvae can end up in the mother’s mammary glands and be ingested by the puppies.

Environmental infection: Roundwormeggs are highly resistant in the outdoor environment and can infect puppies if not treated promptly.

It is important to deworm your puppy to protect not only the animal’s health but also the health of the humans who share the same environment as their little companion. These worms are just as dangerous to human health, and even more so for children.

There are two types of worms that can infest your puppy’s colon or small intestine:

• Nematodes: roundworms that are roughly shaped like spaghetti (whipworms, hookworms, and roundworms).
• Tapeworms: whitish, flat, ribbon-shaped worms (e.g., tapeworms that can grow to over 80 cm in length).

How can you tell if a puppy has intestinal worms?

To find out if your puppy has worms, you should:

• Check if your dog’s stool is normal
• See if the puppy is rubbing its rear end
• Check if its weight-to-food ratio is good

How often should you deworm a puppy while it’s growing?

Puppies need to be dewormed more frequently than adult dogs because their immune systems are weaker.

It is recommended to deworm puppies:

• The first time 15 days after the puppy is born
• Then every 2 weeks until 2 months of age
• Then once a month from 2 to 6 months of age
• After 6 months, follow the deworming schedule for adult dogs, as the puppy is less vulnerable

It is recommended to deworm your puppy on an empty stomach, as the deworming medication can cause diarrhea. If the puppy is already infected, the worms will release toxic substances that will cause diarrhea.

Worming tablets for your puppy are easy to mix into their food.

If your puppy has worms, consider combining the treatment with an effective natural flea treatment for your dog; these parasites can transmit worms (Dipylidium).

What hygiene measures should you take to protect a puppy?

People around a puppy infected with intestinal worms should be sure to follow basic hygiene practices several times a day.

• Wash your hands after petting the puppy,
• Do not allow the dog to lick people (adults and children),
• When picking up the puppy’s feces, wear gloves and use a designated poop bag,
• Clean all areas where the animal has been,
• Change the linens for all family members frequently.

Be careful when allowing the dog to get on chairs and sofas in the house. In such cases, use a disinfectant suitable for this type of furniture.

Why is growth so important for a puppy?

A puppy’s growth is a foundational stage of its life. It determines not only its adult size but also the strength of its skeleton, the quality of its muscle mass, its digestive balance, and even its immune system.

Between birth and adulthood (which varies by breed between 10 and 24 months), a puppy goes through highly active metabolic phases: it doubles its weight in a matter of days, develops its bones, teeth, and coat, and builds its gut microbiome. A nutritional imbalance or digestive stress during this period can have lasting consequences on its future health (allergies, bone disorders, joint fragility, etc.).

Why is growth so important for puppies?

A puppy cannot be fed like an adult dog. Its needs for energy, protein, and minerals are higher, but must be perfectly balanced to avoid excesses that could harm its development. Key nutrients include:

• Highly digestible animal proteins: for muscle development
• Calcium and phosphorus: for healthy bone and joint development
• Omega-3 (DHA): for nervous system and brain development
• Vitamins A, D, E, C, and B: for immunity, cell growth, and bone formation
• Prebiotics and probiotics: to support digestion and the balance of the gut microbiome

A large-breed puppy, for example, will need a controlled intake of calcium to prevent growth disorders (panosteitis, dysplasia), while a small-breed puppy will have higher energy needs concentrated in a smaller volume.
