Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, you can use this to deworm a nursing bitch. It is actually recommended that you deworm the nursing bitch and the puppies on the same schedule starting when the puppies are 2 weeks of age; then repeat at 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age and then monthly until 6 months of age. It often takes multiple dewormings to clear them of worms . If you just do it one time you are not likely to make a huge difference. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
