That's how often I worm mine. can I suggest you use Drontal rather than Panacur, it's just a one dose, once every two weeks, whereas Panacur has to be used over 3 days every two weeks, plus I have found Drontal Puppy to be a lot gentler on puppies tummies.

Was mum wormed during pregnancy? if not then she will need worming too.

You should do Bonnie the same time as the pups, as she could be carrying worms/eggs which the pups take through her milk.

Hi Shibby... may I just add to what CC has advised .. you get Drontal from the vet, do not be tempted to get any worm preparations from the pet shop, they are not very effective .
