What's the best broad-spectrum dewormer with easy dosing for dogs?

Panacur (fenbendazole) treats infections by hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and whipworms in dogs. Although tapeworms are listed, Panacur is ineffective against the tapeworm commonly found in dogs and cats. Legally, we are prohibited from providing dosing information in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship). This information, however, is easily found online if you don't want to wait for your veterinarian to return to the office.

Hi there. I'm afraid I don't know what is available in India, but some good broad-spectrum dewormer brands include Strongid, Drontal, and Panacur - you can see if any of these are available at your local pet stores or online. For dosing, just follow the instructions on the package for your puppy's weight.

Hi there. You can get a broad-spectrum dewormer for dogs such as Panacur or Bayer Quad Dewormer, and give it according to the directions on the package. Nexgard is a flea/tick medication, and does not treat worms. Without knowing what type of worm it was, I can't say if it's contagious to your other dogs or not. The safest option would be to go ahead and deworm all of the dogs in the household.

If the stools are otherwise normal and there is no blood in the stool, then I would recommend the basic dewormer Pyrantel Palmoate, which treats for hookworms and roundworms. If your pets have obviously loose stool, then they may need a broader spectrum dewormer such as Fenbendazole. However it is always advised to get a fecal exam done first through your vet to identify which worms are present. Once that is done, the appropriate dewormer can be selected because not one dewormer will cover all possible intestinal worms).

This would depend on the types of intestinal parasites diagnosed. In general, Strongid (pyrantel pamoate) and Panacur (fenbendazole) are two of the most common dewormers used in puppies. Discuss an appropriate dose with your veterinarian before deworming the litter. It will likely need to be repeated in 2 and 4 weeks.

Panacur C and Drontal. Plus have the same spectrum of activity. Both control Roundworms, Hookworms, Whipworms, and Tapeworms. So, one is not better than the other in that respect. Drontal is easier to administer since you only need to give one dose; with Panacur you give one dose a day for 3 days in a row.

I'm sorry to hear that all of you are having this problem! For your dog, pyrantel pamoate or fenbendazole would be effective to treat hookworms - both of these can be purchased over the counter at most pet stores. Just follow the dosing instructions on the label of the product you purchase - it should say how much to give and for how long, based on your dog's weight. Unfortunately, it's illegal for us to give any kind of medical advice for humans, so I would advise you to consult with your physician regarding treatment for yourself and your boyfriend.
