Hi and thank you for your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Most deworming medications are generally ok to give to patients with renal disease, but it does depend on the medication being used. If you can provide the name of the medication, I can give you a bit more guidance. Thanks for posting!
