  I suggest that you worm your bitch and puppies with Panacur. Worm dyour bitch at the 40th day of pregnancy, then few of days post whelping. Worm the puppies and the mother at 2, 4 & 6 weeks. The puppies should be wormed every two weeks up to the age of three months, then every 3 months thereafter.

  She can get fenbendazole (Panacur), but you will need to get a dose from your veterinarian. This likely will not completely prevent parasites in the litter but may decrease parasite burden. The pups will need regular deworming until they are about 3-4 months of age. Again, you should discuss a safe and appropriate deworming protocol with your veterinarian before giving any medications.

  It is safe to deworm her, but ensure you get he correct product from your veterinarian. I would recommend a broad spectrum dewormer such as Drontal Plus. It is also important to ensure you deworm the pups. I like using Pyrantel at 6 and 8 weeks. most pups will get some parasites through nursing so this is an important treatment .
