Is it safe, what rate, tell me more! They were selling safegaurd horse wormer and I would like to know how to use it on puppies and dogs. At the hunt I was at they weren't sure the amount to use but told me many use it for dog wormer.

1cc per 5lbs. of body weight for 3 days. Repeat in 2 - 3 weeks

If it is the safe guard that comes in tubes, that is paiste. It is a 1/4 turn of the ring per 4 pounds of dog. There for and adult dog weighing 20 pounds would get 1 1/4 turns of paiste. I squirt it in hotdogs. Hope this helps.

Lance's dose is right, but the paste is hard to dose correctly so I always use liquid Panacur. Dose for it is 1 ml per 5# of bodyweight for 3 days in a row. Doc S

Doc,

I have heard so many varying stories about what parasites Safe-Guard will remove that I cannot remember them all!!

My main question is will Safe-Guard, administered 3 consecutive days, rid a beagle of tapeworms???

I have heard it will, and I have heard no it wont.

I have used Safe-Guard for a few years now and my hounds annual vet-check up always come back worm-free...

Three days of Safegard or Panacur will rid a dog of rounds, hooks and whips as well as about half the species of tapeworms. Doc S
