Comparison Chart of Wormers for Dogs As a general rule you may not see the worms that infect your dog or puppy. Since most puppies are born with worms, it's very important that you get them on a deworming regime as soon as age permits. For adult dogs a fecal exam by a veterinarian is the quickest and most accurate way to tell if your faithful friend has worms of any kind. The following is a list of wormers we have available, their ingredients, minimum age, weight requirements, and type of worms they treat.
