I use strongid paste for horse or the generic version which is even priced lower...I start them when they are 2.5 to 3 weeks of age...the active ingredient is pyrantel pamoate and is a yellow paste...

They say worm the pups once a week...I worm then once a week for about 4 times and then watch them closely and just make sure their gums are not pale and their skin is loose, slick and healthy...if they are pot bellied and you see the out line of the ribs then you can bet worms...maybe coccidiosis...

Anytime you worm the pups worm the mother to pups as well...

TSC or other feed stores will have it...or you can order online...

There is panacure and safeguard for livestock as well that can be used but those you give for 3 days in a row but haven’t given that for very young pups...also buy at feed store...

Shots...I don’t follow the usual recommendations on what shots to give nor time frames...hopefully someone else will make recommendations...

I start Worming around 3 weeks old with Nemex 2 and do that 1x week for 4 weeks.....then 1x Month until 6 Months Old.
I start Shots around 5 weeks old or once they are completely off Mother.
Good Luck
