Panacur (fenbendazole) treats infections by hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and whipworms in dogs. Although tapeworms are listed, Panacur is ineffective against the tapeworm commonly found in dogs and cats. Legally, we are prohibited from providing dosing information in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship). This information, however, is easily found online if you don't want to wait for your veterinarian to return to the office.

Panacur (fenbendazole) is probably one of the best broad spectrum dewormers. It treats hookworms, whipworms, roundworms and some tapeworms. It is also used to treat Giardia and lungworms. You will need to contact your veterinarian for a dose based on your dog's body weight. Legally, we are prohibited from recommending doses for medications in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship).

Droncit (praziquantel) Canine Tablets for Animal Use are safe to use in pregnant dogs (do not use Drontal plus as it contains Febantel). Fenbendazole (Panacur) is also safe to use in pregnant dogs.

Safeguard is Fenbendazole, as is Panacur. So you can use it and it will be just as effective if you make sure to give it according to the exact weight of your dog. You need to give it according to the instructions on the box. If you suspect your dogs have a lot of worms, you should worm them twice (the prescribed course) at a 2 week interval.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! According to Plumb's Veterinary Drug book Fendendazole is considered safe in pregnant dogs. There have been no studies on it's safety in dogs and cats but there were no adverse reactions in women or lab animals. Have a good day!

Giardia can only be treated with either Metronidazole or Fenbendazole at the appropriate dose for your cats weight. I would consult your vet for the appropriate dosage for your cat since they have examined him before. Veterinary client patient relationship act says that a pet has to be examined by said vet who prescribed that pet medicaiton. I hope this helps. Best wishes and take care.

If you are seeing worms that look like rice, those are tapeworm segments. Panacur can kill some types of tapeworm, but the best drug for it is praziquantel. That is a prescription only drug, and a great brand that contains praziquantel is Drontal. You can try the Panacur, but you may have to go back to your vet to get Drontal. As long as you practice good hygiene (wash your hands after petting him, wash your hands after cleaning his litter box), you should be fine. I hope this helps!
