Major parasites are worms, roundworms, hook worms, and tapeworms. Most puppies have roundworms and they should be treated at least twice before they are taken into another home, and it is wise to do so every ex weeks for the first year.
When applying treatment always follow the exact instructions with modern insecticidal dressing and wear rubber gloves and protective clothing where advised to do so. Do not forget to treat the yorkie puppy's bedding and collar, too.
