Where can I get a good tape worm pill other than the Vet?
What is the name to look for and the dosage? Thanks; Ron

Safeguard will get the tapes they get from eating rabbits or mice, it will not get the tapeworm they get from having fleas.
Brand names are Drontal Plus, Droncit, or Cestex - those will get all varieties of tapes...

Laurie is correct. You can buy pills that are praziquantel.They will get both tapes.Wholesale Kennel supply in the magazines sell it.If you get it at the tractor suuply the price is double.
Try your local pet supply store and check out the fish wormer,Called fish tapes.You need 1 capsule containing 34mg of praziquantel per 10lb of body weight up to a maximum of 5 tablets.Get twice as many tablets for the price of the dog tablets .Check around the prices vary greatly between dealers.

I went to a pet store and got what ever had Prazi in it. I didn't care the brand as long as it has prazi in it.
