How to Use Safeguard 10% Fenbedazole Suspension Goat Dewormer – Dosage Chart for Worming Dogs & Puppies!

Deworming Multiple Dogs or Litters of Puppies with Safe-guard or Panacur 10% Liquid Dewormer…

Safeguard for Goats – (Fenbendazole) Suspension 10% is great for multiple dog owners and dog breeders as well as pet rescues, and shelters.

As a dog breeder, I personally prefer to use the Safe-Guard suspension fluid (labeled for goats) instead of the granules (labeled for dogs) because it’s just a whole lot easier and more accurate to administer to our puppies. PLUS its more affordable and equally as effective!

The drug Fenbendazole is found in both Safe-GuardÂ® and Panacur CÂ®. The only difference between the two is really just the brand name.

THE INTESTINAL PARASITES THAT SAFE-GUARD TREATS

Safe-guard 10% (fenbendazole) Suspension is labeled for goats & cattle but can be safely used to treat dogs. Safe-guard treats five of the most common intestinal parasites found in a dogs GI tract (*only recommend for some tapeworms)

The 5 Parasites Include:

Hookworms
Roundworms
Whipworms
Giardiasis (Giardia)
Some species of tapeworms, but not tapeworms from fleas

Deworming dogs and puppies with Safe-guard

*Tapeworms: Safe-Guard is effective against several types of tapeworms but is NOT EFFECTIVE against Dipylidium Caninum, which is the most common type of tapeworm. Also called the flea tapeworm, double-pored tapeworm, or cucumber tapeworm.

If you think your dog has tapeworms, it’s recommend to use a different dewormer with praziquantel, or epsiprantel in it. Such as Bayer Tapeworm Dewormer for Dogs on Amazon or Drontel Plus for Dogs on Chewy.com.

SAFE-GUARD DOSAGE FREQUENCY:

Fenbendazole must be given for at least 3 consecutive days in order to effectively treat worms, and 5-10 days for Giardia (Giardiasis) depending on severity.

TREATING GIARDIA

Safe-Guard (Fenbendazole) is said to be 96% effective in treating Giardia in dogs. The 2 most common drugs used to treat Giardia are fenbendazole and metronidazole. Both drugs may be given in combination depending on the severity of the infection.

SAFE FOR PREGNANT & LACTATING FEMALE?

Safe-guard (fenbendazole) is a very safe over-the-counter deworming medication for dogs and puppies 6+ wks old and yes, also pregnant and lactating female dogs.

SAFE-GUARD TREATMENT LENGTH:

1x a Day for 3 days

IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE DOGS TO TREAT – compared to buying each one of your puppy’s and multiple dogs each a $6 – $10 box of the Safe-guard granules (labeled for Dogs), buying the bottles of 10% suspension fluid (labeled for goats) is just a far more affordable option. IT’S REALLY A NO BRAINER! You get more dewormer for your money and you can also more accurately dose young puppies under 10 lbs! Same exact deworming medication, just a different dosing chart and its liquid instead of the granuels so it’s easier and more accurate for young puppies. With one 4.2 ounce bottle, you can easily deworm a litter of puppies plus their Mom for the full 3-day course of treatment. It depends on the weight of your puppy/dogs and how many dogs you’re treating but usually, I can treat one mom and her whole litter at least 3x. â™¡ Each 4.2 ounce bottle contains 125 mL’s. â™¡ Each 33 ounce bottle contains 1000 mL’s. Each box of the Safe-guard Granuels (labeled for dogs) comes with 3 packets of granueles, each packet is meant to be a single dose for a 3 day course. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT JUST HOW MUCH OF THE GRANULES TO GIVE EACH PUPPY IS FAR TOO STRESSFUL AND POSSIBLY EVEN INEFFECTIVE IF YOU GET IT WRONG AND DON’T GIVE THEM ENOUGH! The smallest Safe-Guard granuels box is labeled for a 10 lb puppy/dog. Since most 6 wk old puppies weigh under 10 lbs, you kinda have to “guesstimate” how much of the granuel packets to give each puppy. So, dosing puppies under 10 lbs with the suspension fluid is more accurate and easier then the granuels. MULTIPLE BOXES ARE NEEDED FOR DOGS 40+ LBS! With dogs that weigh over 40 lbs (the biggest box they offer)… you need to buy multiple boxes to get the correct dose. DEWORMING PUPPIES UNDER 6 WKS OLD? I use Pyrantel Paomate (aka Nemex 2) for puppies under 6 wks. ⭐ Read my blog post on a more cost effective Pyrantel Pamoate option (labeled for humans) including the dosing chart for dogs! Safeguard Suspension and Extra Large Breed Dogs? Yes or No? Do you only have one or two dogs? If yes, I would recommend using the Safe-guard 4 granules or the Panacur C granules instead of the Suspension fluid or make sure you have a very large oral dosage syringe because you will need to give them a lot of the fluid per dose! 20 ml Oral dosing syringes on Amazon! WARNING: IT CAN BE A BIT OF A MILKY WHITE MESS….FOR LARGER DOGS! The 10% Safeguard suspension formula is GREAT FOR LITTERS OF PUPPIES AND MULTIPLE SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZE DOGS.. BUT it can get a bit messy to administer how much is necessary for a large or giant breed dog! They also tend to spit some out… or sometimes a LOT depending how well your dog takes oral medications from their response… I don’t believe it tastes very good. If you still wanna give the Suspension fluid a try with your large breed dogs… just make sure you have one of the BIGGER 20 ML Oral Dosing Syringes on hand.

Mini Aussiedoodle “Koa” – 8 wks old – Blue Merle Female Symptoms of Worms in Dogs and Puppies You can have a fecal test done by your vet and also watch out for the following signs and symptoms. Symptoms of Worms Include: Swollen belly or “Pot Belly” (with or without pain) Lethargy or weakness Diarrhea Vomiting Weight loss, low appetite or failure to gain weight in young puppies Dull coat (worms are taking the nutrients) Worms in stool or vomit Coughing Itchy bottoms, scooting their bottom on the floor (does not always mean worms) Puppies and adult dogs don’t always display obvious signs of a worm at first. So, it’s best to keep them on a regular deworming schedule. The goal should always be to treat for worms before the symptoms have a chance to become obvious, especially with young puppies. It’s better to assume all puppies have worms and start treating them at 2 weeks old and then every 2 wks until they’re 12 weeks old. Then every 6 months for the lifetime of your adult dogs. IMPORTANT: Symptoms of worms (listed above) may also be signs of a more serious health issue. If your puppy/dog continues to display symptoms after a deworming treatment, make sure to contact your veterinarian right away. DREAMYDOODLES NORTHWEST – DEWORMING PROTOCOL We start deworming our puppies and their Mom, regardless of symptoms at 2 wks old with Pyrantel Pamoate, we dose them again at 4 wks old with Pyrantel Pamoate. ATTENTION BREEDERS: Read about a more cost effective Pyrantel Pamoate option along with the dosage chart on my Pyrantel Dosage Chart Page. Once our puppies are 6 weeks old, we switch them over to the Safe-guard Dewormer 10% Suspension fluid (labeled for goats & cattle). We treat our puppies with Safe-guard every 2 weeks, at 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks old, or until they go home which is usually around 8-10 wks old. We also make sure to let our families know, they need to continue deworming their new puppies every 2 wks until they’re 12 wks old and then twice a year for the life of their dog. We highly recommend our puppy customers continue to use Safe-guard granuels which are found over the counter at Walmart, Pet Smart, Petco and online at Amazon.com and Chewy.com. Safe-guard dewormer is not recommended for puppies under 6 weeks old BUT Pyrantel Pamoate is safe for 2+ wk old puppies. Both Safeguard and Pyrantel Pamoate claim to be safe for pregnant and lactating female dogs. My vet recommends we deworm our pregnant dogs 10 days prior to her due date and then again every three weeks while she’s nursing her puppies in order to prevent her from transmitting parasites and/or Giardia. Adult dogs infected with Giardia may show no symptoms of the disease but can still pass it onto their puppies, which can cause them to have moderate to severe* diarrhea. That’s why it is important to use Safe-guard prior to delivery. Both Mom and any other dogs in your pack that will be kept in the same environment as your Mom and her puppies. Your dogs can be infected with Giardia without you even knowing it…and before it’s too late for your puppies. This worming protocol covers all your bases and helps you to send home WORM and GIARDIA FREE puppies. IMPORTANT: I am not a Vet!
