The answer is affirmative as we cannot be too sure that a dog does not have any worms at all. Moreover, we all know that 'prevention is better than cure' so routine worming should be done for pups as well as adult dogs. There could be cases that worms could not be detected with visual inspection and the effects could not be noticed till the health of the dog deteriorated significantly.
More importantly, if a dog has worms their stool is contaminated and the infection might spread and affect the young children in the house hold. The pups should be wormed more often as compared to adult dogs. Pups should be wormed fortnightly till they are 3 months old and then monthly till they are six months old and subsequently once in six months.
Pregnant bitches should be wormed as they can transmit the condition to their unborn puppies. A proper worming routine is extremely necessary as this would help create a healthy environment in the house and neighborhood. Hence it is a moral duty of a responsible citizen to deworm their dogs.
