Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately, there is nothing non-chemical that has been proven to help with tape worms. She will likely need to be dewormed because of the possibility that she may have tapeworms. Your veterinarian could describe a dewormer for her. Good luck!
