Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Its a fact of life; all puppies and kittens have worms. And nearly all the time, when you adopt a new animal, and someone tells you it's been dewormed, it either hasn't, or it's been treated with only pyrantel pamoate, which alone only works for pinworms - which dogs do not usually carry. What you really need is this; prazinquantel/pyrantel, which treats for tapeworms and roundworms. Also consider adding ivermectin, which prevents and treats heartworms - which are carried by mosquitoes. Tapeworms are carried by fleas. Roundworms are commonly transmitted through mother's milk. Which is why both are common in puppies. My chi-corgi Nike had the tapeworm pictured, and my longhaired chihuahua Nina had the roundworms pictured. Both parasites are highly transmittable to humans! So deworming is as important for yours and your family's health as your dog. Most especially if you sleep with them in the bed! Both dogs I treated at 8 wks, 12 wks, and 16 wks with 1/4 of a pill per pup each treatment. These "large dog" pills are 114mg and should be quartered and dosed at 28.5mg for young pups of all breeds. Yes, even the tiny ones. A load of parasites can really harm a pups health, especially small breeds weighing 1lb or less. It can kill them. I use the 114mg quartered bc its wayyy more cost effective than buying the 30mg pills dosed for smaller dogs and pups, seeing as 2 pills only come in each box. This way 1 box gets me 8 full doses, not just 2. Some dogs will get a touch of diarrhea right after dosing... but it's just them clearing the parasites, and that's worth it. Both my dogs passed the worms w/in 6-24 hrs after the 1st dose. The 2nd and 3rd doses are just to clear up any larvae or eggs that were not killed the first round. This brand of dewormer is beef flavor and both my dogs took it no problem, just like a flintstones vitamin. Adult dogs should be dosed again every 1-3mos, just depending on how much your dog gets into, and whether they have exposure to fleas and skeeters.
