Deworming your German Shepherd Puppy is a critical part of his or her puppy care. 98% of all puppies are born with worms that they contracted before they were born from their mother.
 
There are many different species of worms which can affect your puppy’s growth and development. These worms are intestinal parasites, and contrary to popular belief, you probably won’t see them in the puppy’s stool unless they have a severe infestation.
 
We recommend having your German Shepherd Puppy’s stool checked periodically by your local veterinarian.
 
There are many different types of parasites that your German Shepherd Puppy can contract. These include: roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, coccidian, and giardia. These are the most common parasites that can affect your puppy. Safeguard (Fenbendazole) is highly recommended for treating Intestinal Parasites.
 
If giardia is present in your German Shepherd Puppy’s stool, your veterinarian may prescribe FLAGYL (metronidazole). If Coccidia is detected, your veterinarian may prescribe ALBON (sulfadimethoxine).
