Well, being a germaphob in this case, anyway is a really good thing! I don’t think you can clean too much. It’s a nasty little parasite. I would also pour some HOT bleach water where your pups poop. Also try and dig up a little of the dirt/grass with the poop. Giardia does not thrive in hot temperatures. Don’t let them drink out of any puddles and stay away from dog parks.

Also, talk to your vet about doing two rounds of the Panacur a couple weeks apart. Giardia is intermittent and may not be eliminated after the first round. Also, extra fiber and probiotics heavy on the Enterococcus faecium has proven to be helpful. Best of luck!
