8in1 Safe-Guard Canine Dewormer 4 Gram Pouches for Dogs Only, 6 Weeks and Older
My Yorkie had puppies and of course she got worms, I had to use a pregnant/lactate safe product my vet recommended this and I have to say the powder for is crap, they should continue to make it in pills if I wanted powder I could just as easy crush the pills, and its been 2 days and no change before with Worm-x she was better in only a few hours….this product was a waste of money you get what you pay for!

Warning to people who have self-diagnosed their dog – although Safe-guard claims to cure four types of worms, there are multiple types of Tapeworms, and safe-guard does not get rid of THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF TAPEWORM. So if you’re dog has tapeworms (looks like small grains of white rice in stool) I suggest a tapeworm-specific product. I just wasted money because I didn’t do my research, I guess that’s my stupid-tax..
Other then that, I’ve heard only good things about Safe-guard and it comes highly recommended from many a people who strive not to take their dogs to the vet 10 times a year.

I’ve dinged them a star because of the “large dog” misnomer ; 2 boxes will be needed for dogs in the 80lb range (1 packet per 40lbs of dog x 3 days), more if you have giant dogs (I’ve personally never met a little German shepherd–as depicted on the box–who was 40lbs or less).
Our dog wouldn’t eat it the powder tossed onto her food, so instead we poured it on our palms and drizzled blackstrap molasses on top, mixing with fingers. I don’t think she ever enjoyed medicine as much as during those 3 days!
The worms disappeared, and there were no digestive issues with the medication.
We ordered 3 boxes, as our local store only had 1; at $10/box, it made sense to have an extra set on hand just in case.

Safe-Guard is a fine product when used as directed. It’s been around a long time. I hope the gentleman with the Yorkie didn’t give this size dose to his Yorkie; it treats a 40lb dog. This wormer also requires 3 doses on successive days. So if the Yorkie’s owner only dosed once, no wonder it didn’t work. It comes in powdered form so it can be mixed with food; for dogs that don’t like pills, that’s a good idea. If you try to give it like a pill, well, yes, what a mess.
