When should Border Collie puppies be dewormed? Border Collie puppies should be dewormed for the first time when they are about 20 days old and in good health. Deworming should be done every 2-4 weeks before six months. Before they are one year old, deworm them every three months; after they reach one year old, Border Collie puppies should be dewormed every six months, but note that the interval between deworming and vaccination should be more than one week.

About 20 days after the birth of Border Collie puppies, the first deworming can be started while ensuring good health. Next, when the Border Collie puppies are six months old, deworm them every 2-4 weeks. Before it is six months to one year old, it should be dewormed every three months, and after one year old, it can be dewormed every six months.

If you find that your Border Collie puppy is restless, has dandruff or small black particles in its hair, keeps licking or scratching the same place, or even suffers from shortness of breath, vomiting and diarrhea, and is gradually losing weight, these symptoms will indicate Border Collie puppies are likely to have parasites in their bodies, and Border Collie puppies should be dewormed in time. If a Border Collie puppy is already suffering from severe parasites, it may lead to death if not treated in time. It is best for parents to take the baby to the hospital for veterinary treatment to avoid delaying the best treatment period.

It should be noted that if you buy or adopt a Border Collie puppy, you cannot deworm it immediately when you bring it home. Because the Border Collie puppy has not adapted to the new environment at this time, rash deworming can easily make it nervous or even sick. Also, it is best to have a period of time between deworming and vaccination, and not to do it at the same time, otherwise they may interact with each other and cause the vaccine to fail. Generally, vaccination should be done first and then deworming.
