Description
Panacur Dewormers help treat hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms, and whipworms in dogs or horses. Panacur Dewormers are also recommended to treat other gastrointestinal parasites as well. Panacur (aka Fenbendazole) is available in powder and paste form, which allow you to choose the best methods for your pet in order to stay away from any kind of worms. Panacur C is specially formulated to treat dogs suffering from worm infestations. Created by Hoechst AG, this powerful anthelmintic can help rid your dog or horse of intestinal parasites, typically within 2-3 weeks (although results may vary). If your animal is suffering from worms, Panacur is one of the best non-prescription pet medications out there on the market.

adult dogs, including pregnant bitches. The usual dose for dogs, based on weight
using the chart below, is given once a day for 3 consecutive days. The

Diagnosis of Parasites: Specific diagnoses require laboratory testing. Consult your veterinarian for help in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism. Dogs can become infected with several different kinds of tapeworms. Panacur® C only kills Taenia species of tapeworms. If you continue to see tapeworm segments in your dog's stool after treatment with Panacur® C, consult your veterinarian.
Recommended Deworming Schedule: Deworming schedules may vary depending on the climate where you live and the activity of your dog. The following schedule should be used as general guidance. Newly weaned pups (6 to 8 weeks of age) should be dewormed at 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks of age. Treat the dam at the same time as the puppies. Dogs over six months of age should be dewormed at least twice each year. Each deworming requires 3 daily treatments.
Caution: This medication should not be used in animals allergic to it. Do not deworm a dog or puppy that is sick. Consult your Veterinarian for the diagnosis of the illness. Because humans can contract roundworm, hookworm and tapeworm from pets, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene. It is also important to eliminate fleas on the pet and in the household and to not feed the pet rodents or uncooked meat or fish. To prevent reinfection, daily cleanup of stools is recommended.
