Once you get them home for pups it's once a month up to 6 months and then again at 9 and 12 months and then it's usually every 6 months ongoing after that unless they're big poo eaters and/or you have young kids running around in your garden so want to take extra precautions.

I do my two every 3 months as well.  I use Drontal, one and a half tablets each.  I get them from the internet as cheaper than the vets ;)

Lucy had a reaction to panacur and drontal so like lots of others on here we switched to milbemax and she is fine on that

I worm mine roughly every 4 - 6 weeks as I am a childminder and it is regulations.  :-\  If I weren't I would do them every 3 months as mine don't really forage much and don't eat poo, I also have no small children of my own, so that would be fine.
