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.
What happens if you deworm a pregnant dog?
No, we do not recommend worming your dog during pregnancy. We strongly recommend speaking with your vet if you wish to worm your pregnant dog, as they can carry out a risk/benefit assessment. Once the mum has given birth, it is important to worm both her and her puppies.
Is deworming harmful during pregnancy?
