Worming your Puppy/Dog

All recommendations stated here are what we do to care for our own personal dogs, but we cannot be held liable for any practices you choose to use on your dog. I recommend you speak with your vet before administering any dewormer.

An effective and economical way to deworm your dogs is to use a product that was originally designed to worm cattle. Safe-Guard 10% Suspension is a liquid dewormer that comes in a 1000 ml bottle and contains 100 mg per ml of the active ingredient which is Fenbendazole. Fenbendazole is the same ingredient found in many dog dewormers and using the cattle product is much, much cheaper. Many of the other dog dewormers are also only effective against 2-3 types of intestinal worms, whereas, Safeguard suspension is effective against all 4 types. This deworming method has the added benefit of ridding and preventing giardiasis.

The recommended dosage of this exact product and strength for canines is 1 cc per 5 lbs of bodyweight per day for a 3 day period. The Canine doses are not on the bottle, you will need to write this down 1 cc per 5 lbs. and get a syringe from a pharmacy. I deworm each litter at 2, 4, and 5 weeks. Adult dogs are proactively treated for worms on the fifteenth of every other month. Fenbendazole is always administered for 3-consecutive days.

For a look in depth at the 4 types of worms and at this method of deworming, I refer folks to this link http://www.beaglesunlimited.net/

Even though we regularly worm our puppies, while they are with us, we can not guarantee that they are worm-free. That is our goal, but maybe you're aware that a dog can be worm-free and make one trip outdoors and all of that can change. So we will not guarantee that there will be no worms, though we promise you that we will worm your puppy by the schedule that is laid out.

There are many breeders who worm with 2 of the types of wormers. First, I mention the Panacur above, but the second wormer is Ivomec pour on for cattle (1% solution). The Ivomec is easy to use by pouring on the food .1 cc for every 10 pounds of body weight. Feeding Ivomec internally deals with Heartworm.

Again, follow the advice of your veterinarian and don't hold me responsible for the decisions you make in the care of your animals. We openly share what has helped us as others have done for us.
