Strongid wormer has few side effects and is safe for puppies and pregnant and nursing dogs. Pyrantel pamoate, marketed for dogs under the name Strongid, is among the safest canine dewormers. It's also sold under the brand name Nemex. Because it's generally safe, Strongid is often used for an initial puppy deworming. Puppies are usually born with roundworms or hookworms, passed to them by their mother. The medication, given to dogs in liquid form, paralyzes and kills the worms. The initial dose is followed by another two or three weeks later.
