No. You should not attempt to use dewormers that are formulated for horses on dogs. The concentration is very high and it is extremely easy to overdose your dog if you miscalculate the dosage. Also, if your dogs is already on heartworm preventative, then there is no reason to try to deworm your dog with other dewormers without first having a fecal sample examined by your vet as most heartworm preventatives also treat for GI parasites.
I would talk to your veterinarian about this - there are dewormers that are safe for pregnant and lactating dogs, but the safety is dependent upon both the formulation and the dose.
In recent years, veterinarians have started relying on spot-on flea treatments with cross-protection against intestinal parasites such as Frontline Plus or Revolution. However, your veterinarian can better advise you about what medication to use.
No - cats are much smaller than dogs, and are much more sensitive to the harmful side effects of several dewormers commonly used in dogs. You should always use a cat-labeled dewormer for cats.
No you certainly cannot. This will kill your dog! Go to your Vet and pick up a heart wormer.

Dog wormer products are effective in keeping your pet healthy by eliminating hookworms, roundworms, heartworms and tapeworms in dogs. However, different products may have different effectiveness depending on quality of the de-wormer used.
Take your dog to the vet!
Depending upon which dewormer you are talking about and the dose you are thinking of trying, the goat dewormer may kill your dog. To be safe, you should talk to your veterinarian and get a prescription for a dewormer that is intended for use on dogs.

wrap it in CHEESE! ... it the dog doesn't have weight problems
I certainly hope not. Horses are so much larger than even the biggest breed of dog. Horse wormer could kill a dog. I'm not sure about the 'cheaper' part either. Horse dewormer is expensive, possibly more so than dog wormer. Always consult your vet when it comes to the health of your pets, whether it be horse or dog. Wormer is medicine and when given incorrectly can be a disaster for the animal.
