My dog was suffering from itching due to tapeworms and I bought this and after the first dose I saw a big difference in him … I do recommend it if your dog is suffering from any allergies due to parasites

Yes, I recommend this product.

Works great and more convenient than going to the vet twice for two injections. My dog that I adopted recently had tapeworms even though she was treated for them at the shelter. I didn't know that the tiny light colored flakes that were left on her bedding were actually tapeworm castings. When I saw a few of these castings again after taking her to the vet a few months earlier I decided to try this treatment. One pill for her since she is just over 6 pounds and no more castings. I added it to her food and she didn't have any side effects.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I think this was a total RIPOFF! I have a pitt bull this one treatment did nothing for him! I had to give him all the pills at one time because he is larger dog and nothing!

No, I do not recommend this product.

How often are we supposed to give our dog this? I have a 33 pound puppy. I could not figure out if this is a monthly dose, daily, weekly.. thank you!!

1 year ago
This is not a preventative medication. You give it when your dog has tapeworms, which are most commonly visible in their poop or bedding. Tapeworms infestations are caused by ingesting fleas so the only way to prevent tapeworms is to use monthly flea control.

Should I repeat the tapeworm med in 3 weeks to be sure they're all gone?

Can I give to my dog who is already taking Milbehart as her usual heartworm preventative?

1 year ago
Heartworms and tape worms are totally different and are treated with different meds so yes. Only way an animal can get tapeworms is to eat a flea, even just one flea, heart worms come from mosquito bites.

Why do your directions say administer to cats and kittens?

3 years ago

My dog weighs anywhere from 97 to 102lbs should I buy an extra bottle? Do I need to give him 6 pills instead of 5.

3 years ago
All information I've seen says that 5 is the maximum dose regardless of if the dog is larger. I would not exceed the maximum recommended dose. Remember, it's a pesticide, not a vitamin.

How long does it take this medication to start working? Provided the dog does not ingest more tape worms eggs from a flea and become reinfected, when should the dog be clear of all tape worms?

3 years ago
It actually works within 20 minutes, I have used this a few times on both my dogs. It has always worked in less then 20 minutes. Hope that helps

I have many different sizes of dogs and eleven dogs. I need to know how many packages to buy and I can’t find dosage instructions anywhere here, not even in product description?

4 years ago
There is a dosage chart in the package for all 3 sizes of tabs. I tried to copy and paste but it didn’t work. 2-25, 26-60,45-60 lbs. Range is .5 to 2.0 tabs per dog so maybe this will help you decide how many to order.

How many times should I give to my dog?

4 years ago
You should only need to give your dog one dose. My dog had tons of fleas and it only took one pill. We were extremely surprised but very happy.

The bottle came with 5 but for my puppy weigh it says give 2. I gave him 2 yesterday. When will I need to give again? The bottle does not say when to give the next dosage

5 years ago
The bottle comes with enough tablets for a huge dog. You just give the number for your dog's weight, one time only. You can save the rest in case your dog gets tapeworms again (they get them from eating fleas).
