    Not sure if it is bad or not, but I try to not to put any chemicals or meds in a dog a week before a show. Unless you did a fecal test and had reason too then "yes" I would!

    Should of been done pre-keep.

    Dogs need to be free of worms before conditioning them for a conformation show. Your goal is to increase their health/appearance/vigor. All of these things are negatively affected by worms, treat them first.

    Well I hope it was done B4 the pre-keep.....but depending how long you condition a dog for till show day, you never know what they could have picked up within that time frame. Monthly worming is a must and also fecal test are cheap or can be done at home....get one done to be sure?
