Worms and other pests
Worms are a normal part of owning a dog. As a breeder I order my worming supplies through Lambriar Vet
Supply to prevent and treat hook, round, tape, whip as well as heart worms.
The following wormers are recommendations by me and I am not a vet so consult your Veterinarian before using
these medications. These are just what we do at our kennel.
.
I prefer to rotate between two different wormers.
The first wormer I use is Pyrantal Pamoate:
I use Pyrantal that is labeled for humans to treat pinworms and the dogs love it. Pyrantal only needs to be used for
one day and works well on hookworms and roundworms. Pyrantal has the same active ingredients as the most
popular wormer given by vets just a different brand name.
The second wormer I use is Fenbendazole commonly called Safe Guard. This wormer works well for roundworms,
hookworms, and whipworms. With Fenbendazole you will need to worm for 3 days in a row for the medication to
work.
The recommended dosage of this exact product and strength for canines is 1 ml (which contains 100 mg active
ingredient) per 5 lbs of a dogs body bodyweight. Example: 25 lb dog would get 5 ml (same as 5 cc or 1
teaspoon) per day for a 3 day period

Puppies*
Initiate treatment at 2 weeks; repeat at 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. For a puppy at increased risk, also treat
at 10 and 12 weeks, and then monthly until the puppy is 6 months old. Thereafter, use a heartworm
preventative medication that is also effective against hookworms and roundworms. Adult Dogs
Treat regularly for prevention. Also monitor and eliminate parasites in your pet's environment.
