How old do puppies have to be to be dewormed?
How old do they have to be to get their 1st needles?
When can puppies come off milk? Or in my case milk repalcer?
When do you start to cut a puppys nails? Is their a age?
How old do you start to train puppies?

From what I understand and remember from my animalhealthcare class, (correct me if I'm wrong, I may be wrong I'm not 100% sure on this)

But puppys should get a deworm regimine within 2weeks of birth. So I would say age isn't a factor. Get the puppy treated for worms right away.
And that being said, I don't think age makes a diffrence for needles as well. However most vets suggest vacinations at 6-9 weeks.


As for the milk, puppys can be weaned anytime, but it may cause issues later. Usually wait until about 8 weeks old.

You don't want to cut a puppys nails, its too dangerous. Because their nails are so tiny, its easy to hurt them by cutting the 'quick' or the veins and nerve endings in the nail. Wait till 6 months or so and then only snip off the very tip.

You can train puppys as soon as they can stand :) any training is good for them at any age.

Do NOT worm puppies before 12 weeks. Their digestive systems cannot handle the dewormer.

Vaccinations at 6-9 weeks is about right

Weaning should be after 8 weeks but if they're already on a bottle you can start letting them investigate foods after 6. Don't try to feed them, just let them check it out.
