A recent (November 2007) study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that: Almost 14% of the U.S. population (more than previously understood) is infected with Toxocara (also known as roundworm), an internal parasite that can be passed from animals to people. Children are more likely to be infected by canine intestinal worms. 1. WHEN SHOULD I DEWORM MY DOG? a) Deworming puppies After weaning, your deworm your puppy at 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks of age. b) Worming pregnant dogs If you breed your dog, she should be dewormed just before breeding, and again before whelping. Treat her again 2, 4 and 6 weeks after whelping to help prevent the transmission of parasites to her puppies. c) Newly acquired dogs Any new dog you acquire should be dewormed immediately. Repeat the treatment after two weeks. d) Adult dogs Deworm your adult dog at least twice a year. Although it's true that dog intestinal parasites are less of a problem in adults than in puppies, dogs of all ages can be infected. Older dogs that are allowed to spend time outside run a greater risk of becoming infected. Many adult dogs show no signs of infection, which makes it all the more important to make sure that you deworm your dog on a regular basis. 2. WHAT DOSE SHOULD I GIVE MY PUPPY WHO WEIGHS LESS THAN 10 LB? If your puppy is 6 weeks of age or older, and weighs less than 5 lb, divide a 1.0 gram packet of Safe-Guard (fenbendazole) Canine Dewormer evenly into two halves, and give your puppy ½ packet daily for three consecutive days. If your puppy weighs between 5 and 10 lb, you can safely give your puppy the entire contents of the 1.0 gram packet, once a day for three consecutive days. 3. HOW DO I CALCULATE THE DOSE OF SAFE-GUARD CANINE DEWORMER REQUIRED FOR MY 52-LB DOG? If your dog's weight happens to be between the weights shown on the chart available on the package (see below), you can safely give the dose recommended for the next size up. More info on dosage. For example, if your dog weighs 52 pounds, you can give one 2-gram and one 4-gram packet (for a total of two packets, or 6 grams) of Safe-Guard Canine Dewormer once a day, for three consecutive days.
