For Teddy dogs, it's generally recommended to deworm them monthly before they reach six months of age. After six months, you can reduce the frequency to once every three months. Common and effective deworming brands include Revolution (大宠爱) and Frontline (福来恩).
Generally, you can start deworming your Teddy dog after it's one month old. However, before you begin, it's crucial to check your dog's health. Deworming should not be done if your dog is malnourished, sick, pregnant, or nursing. If you've just brought a new Teddy home, it's best to wait until it has adjusted to its new environment before deworming. Similarly, if your dog has recently been vaccinated, wait about a week. You can keep some pet probiotics on hand, such as Miaow & Wang Qing Chong (喵汪清宠), to help with appetite, energy, and bowel movements in case of heavy worm infestations. It's always important to read the instructions carefully and administer the correct dose to avoid any health issues for your dog. Regular deworming is essential. As mentioned before, deworming should be done monthly until your Teddy dog is six months old, then every three months thereafter.
Types of Dog Deworming Medications
Among the commonly used deworming medications, those containing Febantel are effective against a broad spectrum of internal parasites. However, some dogs may experience vomiting after taking these medications. For external parasites, products like Beaphar (贝安可), Frontline (福来恩), and Neoshine (尼可信) are quite effective. Products like Revolution (大宠爱) and Advocate (超可信) offer both internal and external parasite protection, which are very convenient to use. For puppies, Revolution is generally recommended as it’s considered safer for younger dogs.
