Safe-Guard Dewormer For Dogs

Is Safe-Guard Safe for Pregnant and Lactating Dogs?
Yes, Safe-Guard Dewormer (fenbendazole) labeled for Goats is a very safe, over-the-counter deworming medication that’s also suitable for dogs, and puppies who are 6 weeks and older, including pregnant and lactating females.
What Parasites Does Safe-Guard Treat?
Safe-Guard effectively treats the following intestinal parasites:
- Hookworms
- Roundworms
- Whipworms
- Giardiasis (Giardia)
- Some species of Tapeworm: Safe-Guard is effective against several types of tapeworms but is NOT EFFECTIVE against Dipylidium Caninum, which is the most common type of tapeworm. AKA the tapeworm caused by fleas, double-pored tapeworm, or cucumber tapeworm.
- For flea-related tapeworms, I recommend using a praziquantel dewormer instead, such as Tapeworm Dewormer or Drontal Plus.
