Nope.....Most vets say yes, but you are putting poisons into a dam's system that can affect the fetus.......I take the dam and stud off meds prior to the breeding...Once a male has been used for stud, I will resume meds. The dam I will put back on meds 2 weeks after the pups are born, natural way of deworming the pups. No frontline as the pups can ingest it when they are cuddled up to her....and it does work it's way through the coat and onto the nipples.....
