      You should, as a breeder, start to worm your pups from 2 weeks old with a vet prescribed medicine NOT off-the-shelf wormers. Typically they should then be wormed monthly until they are 6 months old then it can be cut down to every 2-3 months until you are only having to worm twice a year as an adult dog.

        Cattle get shots for worms....   Puppy shots are vaccinations, needed to prevent your dog from contracting horrible and deadly things like Parvo, Distemper and of course Rabies, etc.   Standard protocol is first puppy shot at weaning (usually around 6 weeks).  This one vaccination does not fully immunize your pup.  Pup will need 2 more boosters usually at 3 wk intervals. Then once a year.   Puppy wormer is given orally. (pill, powder added to food or paste)
