Worming pregnant females

Post by King's Way Kennel »

What do you guys use and at what day of pregnancy? Can you use anything with Ivermectin or Ivomec in it as I know this can affect potentcy on some dogs but not all of them during breeding on males and females. Is the Canine All Wormer a good choice?

I worm before they are bred. If you need to worm while preg you can use Panacur safely. I have continued Ivomec for heartworm preventative thru pregnancy unless they are close to delivery then I wait.

My vet told me that Ivomec is safe through the pregnancy. (Heartguard Plus) So, I would assume that pyrantel is too, since it is in the Heartguard Plus......
