deworming is different from vaccination. yes u still need to de-worm him every 3 months. you have to understand the vaccination is to protect him for disease like distemper, parvo and such. deworming is to get hookworm, tapeworm, ringworm etc out from him. de-worming DO NOT cover heartworm, so there is separate tablet for this ie heartgard. there is a lot of talk about annual vaccination if its really necessary. your vet will say its necessary, then again ur vet is also in business. yes he should care for your dog but we are bred to trust our doctors too. so if u r wary, do a blood test on ur dog 1 month prior to the annual vacc. you can determine if he still have imunnity for distemper & parvo, if has, then no need to jab, if no, then jab lah. hope this enligthens you.
