Recommended
Deworming Schedule: Schedule may vary depending on the climate where you
live and the activity of your dog. The following schedule should be used as
a general guidance.
- Weaned pups (6-8 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 6 months of age
should be dewormed at least twice each year.
Diagnosis
of Parasites: Consult your veterinarian for help in the diagnosis,
treatment and control of parasitism. Specific diagnoses require laboratory
testing. Dogs can become infected with several different kinds of tapeworms.
Safe-Guard Canine only kills
Taenia species of tapeworms. If you continue to see
tapeworm segments in your dog's stool after treatment with Safe-Guard Canine, consult your veterinarian.
Roundworms and hookworms may
pose serious human health risks; regular deworming may help reduce those
risks.

like grains of rice in your dog's stool, fur or quarters; rear end
