Works good

Anyone who owns animals will usually usually be familiar with puppy's and dogs contracting worms. It happens and can happen at any stage in a dogs life, and they can contract a number of diffrent worms, sometimes more than one. It's so important to the animals health to be without parasites and this is a great solution for most worms. It's reccomend that you be sure what kind of worms your dog or puppy has because if they have worms that the wormer doesn't kill you will have wasted your money because some types need a different kind of dewormer. I have used this successfully for the types of worms listed and it has always worked well. The dewormer you get from a vet works best but if you can't get to a vet or want to do it yourself this is a good option. It's packets of powder that is easily mixed with canned dog food or something like that and the dogs never notice it's there. It is easy to use, but I would prefer a dewormer that only needs to be used once unless the animal contracts worms again. I have found dewormer that doesn't work at all and I've found other kinds that work the same and only one dose is needed for complete removal. I think the chewable pills work better but that is a diffrent brand, and it does more types of worms. I suggest using it if you want the powdered form and if you don't mind having to do it again after the initial treatment but if not I might say try another brand. This kind of dewormer doesn't treat tapeworms and there is another kind I recently found that does tapeworm, round worm, hookworm, and whipworms and it's price is comparable to this so personally I think the quad dewormer by Bayer is better. That one also comes with 4 doses and it's easy to use no mess, no worry if they got all the dose and it works in one dose. It comes down to preference, and what kind of worms you are looking to treat. It's super important to follow all of the instructions and be sure of the right dose so the dog isn't given too much or not enough.

Safe and Effective

I am a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. When our dog passed away a few months ago I knew we would start looking for a puppy. I never expected my husband to come home with 10 week old puppies, a sister and brother, who desperately needed a home. I could tell right away they were in need of a check up, since both were still nursing on their mother at almost 10 weeks. I went ahead and started the deworming process with Safe-Guard 4, it was what I had used with previous dogs. This is powder form, I didn't have to force a pill down the dogs mouth, which is helpful. Both of them ate all of their food right away, never noticing the medicine. Once starting the dewormer I repeated the same thing 3 days in a row. If a puppy has worms you will see them in their stool, because this medicine kills adult worms fast. I have never had a dog suffer from any side effects from this product, it's effective on a variety of parasites but I must stress it does not treat all of them. It was the only product u had on hand at the time the puppies arrived ( 8pm at night) and thankfully it was what they needed. The vet tested their stool, and I can proudly say they both are healthy. Highly recommend this for anybody who has a dog.

Good De-worming choice.

Someone had abandoned two puppies on the side of the road out in the country and I rescued them to try and find them a new home. I had no idea what they had or where they had been so I took them to the vet and gave them their shots, I also bought these deworming tablets from the vet to give to them. This came with two tablets that you give to them at different times, they are really easy to give, the dogs just took them right out of my hands and chewed them up and swallowed them. These were what the vet recommended to me so I was happy to give it to them to get rid of any worms that they might have. The only negative thing that I noticed with these pills is that they had really loose stools after they took these. I know that can be a common side effect of taking these, so I was expecting it, but it did last for about two days in each puppy before it stopped. Their stool also had a really foul smell after taking these for about 8 hours, it was very strong.

Works Well -- Be Sure to Check With Your Vet

This product is exactly the same as the ingredients in Panacur. It has been around forever, and works perfectly well for the worms it is intended to treat. After getting a recommendation from the vet, we used this on our dog with very successful results. Tapeworms require a different product. Obviously, your dog should be diagnosed at your vet's office. Then you will know WHAT type of worms your dog has, and what treatment is necessary. It goes without saying that you must READ the directions as well as get instructions from your vet. I find mixing the powder with canned food or a glob of yogurt is all you need to do to get your dog to gobble it up. Your dog should also be on a heartworm preventative, and most of these products will have the added benefit of preventing several other types of parasites. Overall I highly recommend, just check with your vet that it is what your dog needs.
