Puppy Deworming Schedule
Deworming Our Toy and Mini Poodle Puppies
At Ember Hills Poodles, raising healthy Toy Poodle and Mini Poodle puppies starts long before they go home with their new families. One of the most important parts of early puppy care is a comprehensive deworming program designed to protect puppies from common intestinal parasites.
Because puppies can be exposed to worms before birth or through their mother's milk, routine deworming is an essential part of responsible breeding and preventative health care.
Our Puppy Deworming Protocol
To help ensure every puppy gets the healthiest possible start, Ember Hills Poodles follows a regular deworming schedule beginning at an early age.

Additional deworming may be performed as needed based on veterinary recommendations, fecal testing, and individual puppy health.
Why Deworming Is Important
Intestinal parasites are common in young puppies and can affect growth, digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health. Common parasites include:
-
Roundworms
-
Hookworms
-
Whipworms
-
Giardia
-
Coccidia
Many puppies show no obvious symptoms, which is why routine preventative deworming is so important during the first weeks of life.
What Goes Home With Your Puppy
Every Ember Hills Poodle puppy goes home with a detailed health record that includes:
-
Deworming dates
-
Vaccination records
-
Veterinary health examinations
-
Recommended future care schedule
We encourage all new puppy owners to share these records with their veterinarian and continue a preventative parasite control program throughout their dog's life.
Continuing Care After Adoption
After bringing your puppy home, your veterinarian may recommend additional fecal testing and monthly parasite prevention based on your location and lifestyle. Regular wellness exams help ensure your puppy remains healthy, happy, and free from intestinal parasites.
