Pregnant Bitches and Unweaned Pups Pregnant bitches and bitches with young puppies should be wormed frequently. We recommend that bitches should be wormed before mating, after the first 45 days of pregnancy and after giving birth. They should then be wormed with their pups at 2, 5 and 8 weeks and after weaning.

Roundworm and hookworm can be passed from the bitch to the unborn puppies. We recommend worming your bitch with Drontal Plus before mating.
