Can you deworm a nursing mother dog?

The majority of veterinarian-approved dewormers, or wormers, are safe to use on a nursing mama dog. Deworming her and her babies is the right thing to do, especially if she hasn't been getting or has missed monthly parasite prevention doses.

When should puppies be wormed from birth?

Young puppies may be born with worms, and are still developing their immune system. For this reason, puppies should be dewormed early in their life, most often at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks of age.

When should puppies be dewormed from their mother?

The common intestinal parasites are transmitted to puppies either across the uterus before they are born or through the mother's milk after birth. Puppies can be treated for worms ('deworming') as early as two weeks of age but it is more common to treat them when they are three and six weeks of age.

Do newborn puppies need Dewormer?

In young puppies, worming is essential from 2 weeks of age. As mentioned, the pups may have been infected in the uterus (before birth) and will soon ingest worms in the mother's milk and from the mother's faeces if the mother is carrying an infestation also. Therefore, active worming is essential.
