Fenbendazole only gets one type of tape...It will not kill the flea tape.

The following is copied off of the safeguard canine package

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. Give Safe-Guard® Canine to your dog by mixing the daily dose with a small amount of the usual food. Make sure your dog eats all of the medicated food. You may need to moisten dry dog food to aid mixing. For the treatment and control of Roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), Hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Uncinaria stenocephala), Whipworms (Trichuris vulpis), and Tapeworms (Taenia pisiformis).

Praziquantal

I went to Tractor Supply today. Found tapewormer containing the Praziquantal. Bottle said each tablet contained 34 mg., but no where could I find the dosage....how much to give the dog.

There were 5 tablets in the bottle, and it was something like $24.95 for the bottle.

The best thing i have used is pills called NOMO's, it wont kill any other worm except tape and will really clean them out. I still like to withhold feed for 12 hours before and 3 hours after and use 3 consecutive days.
