Pet Medications for Worms in Dogs

Safe-Guard pet medications contain fenbendazole to treat worms in dogs. Safe-Guard for dogs treats hookworm, roundworm, whipworm, and tapeworm infestations.

Safe-Guard Canine Dewormer removes tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms in dogs. Unlike many other wormers effective against multiple types of intestinal parasites, this medication contains only one active ingredient, making it safer and rarely a cause of side effects.

Rarely causes adverse reactions
Deworming with just 3 consecutive once-daily doses
Safe for puppies at least 6 weeks old and pregnant bitches
Available as granules that are mixed with food for ease of administration
FDA-approved for indicated uses
