50 Mg/ML Oral Pro Pyrantel Pamoate Oral Suspension,
*Labeled for humans but can ALSO safely be used for dogs and puppies
when using the appropriate dose per weight.
This is an enexpensive general-purpose Dewormer used
for limited spectrum deworming.
Two sizes Available – 16 oz and 32 oz.
Why Use Pyrantel Pamoate 50 mg/mL?
Pyrantel Pamoate effectively treats roundworms and hookworms in dogs and puppies, including pregnant or lactating females and the 50 ml/mg version is the more cost-effective option compared to the much smaller and more expensive bottles of name brands like Nemex 2 or Durvet 2X, which require much larger quantities for the same effective treatment.
Cost-Effective Treatment Solution – The 50 mg/mL suspension like Oral-Pro is an economical deworming solution, especially for dog breeders. For example, a 32 oz bottle of Oral Pro provides you with the same amount of Pyrantel Pamoate as 105 packs of the Nemex 2 (2 chewable tablets per pack) dewormer option, saving you money.

- Before administering, shake the suspension fluid bottle thoroughly. The medication may need to be mixed properly if it has been sitting for a period of time.
- Administering Worming Medication Orally: Medications should be administered orally.
Recommended methods for administration:
Oral Administration: for accuracy make sure you have the appropriately sized oral syringe. Syringe size depends on the dosage amount. *See our syringe size chart below.
- Measure the correct dose for the weight of your dog using the dosage chart below.
- Gently insert the syringe into the side of your puppy/dog’s mouth
- Administer the medication slowly but not too slowly, you want to ensure they have time to swallow but don’t spit it all out.
- You may need to gently hold their mouth closed for a second or two just to confirm they’ve fully swallowed the dose.
Mix with Food: Add the appropriate dosage of medication to the bitch or puppies’ regular meal.
Ensure it is thoroughly mixed, that the entire dose is consumed, and that no other dogs or puppies have access to their bowl. I recommend using an oral syringe for accuracy sake but this is also an option.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Puppies who weigh under 5 lbs. require a higher dose of Pyrantel than those who weigh more than 5 lbs. Follow the chart below.

Recommended Oral Syringes – Size Matters:
Worming Medications:
- Safeguard for Goats is another affordable dewormer for adult dogs and puppies over 6 weeks old, effective against more species of worms and parasites including roundworm, hookworm, lungworm, whipworm, and certain types of tapeworm as well as Giardia.
- Pyrantel Pamoate is better for younger puppies (2-4 weeks old) and is only effective in treating only roundworm and hookworm.

Deworming Protocol for Breeders
Worming is essential to break the worm life cycle and maintain the health of both the bitch and her puppies. To be effective, you must treat both simultaneously.
Worming for the Bitch
- Fenbendazole (Safeguard)
- Treat at the start of her heat cycle: To treat and reduce worm loads before pregnancy.
- During gestation (50-52 days): Treat to protect the puppies and reduce parasite transmission.
- Nursing dams: Treat nursing dams at the same time as their puppies to reduce the risk of transmission using Safe-Guard.
Worming for Both Puppies and Bitch
Once the puppies are born follow the following guidelines.
- Use Pyrantel Pamoate before 6 weeks old
- Treat puppies with Pyrantel Pamoate at 2 weeks and 4 weeks old.
- Use Fenbendazole (Safeguard) for Puppies (ONLY) after 6 weeks old.
- Treat puppies with Fenbendazole (Safeguard) at 6 weeks and 8 weeks of age to both puppies and the bitch.

Important Note:
This guide mostly intends to assist my fellow dog breeders but can also be useful for dog owners however, please note, that I am not a veterinarian and I do recommend consulting your veterinarian for professional advice first to ensure you have the appropriate medication for this chart and you’re using the appropriate dosage for your dog’s weight and age.
I am an experienced dog breeder who wants to share useful information and pet products that I recommend and have been using with my puppies and dogs for years.
Always consult a veterinarian for tailored advice and dosage specific to your dog’s weight and condition.
