ElancoTapeworm Dewormer (praziquantel tablets) for Dogs, 5 Count (Pack of 1) Praziquantel Tablets for Dogs and Puppies 4 Weeks and Older

Vet recommended. Got rid of the worms in one shot.

Found live tapeworms in our dogs stool, and found little rice looking dead ones in the hair around his buns, so we knew he was infected. I bought this to see if I could treat the dogs at home (we have two) before paying $500.00 to the vet. I have to admit, I didn't think this would work, because most things like this dont, but this was amazing. Turned out both dogs had tapeworm, and the day after we gave them the tablets (you only have to give them one dose) we saw a massive amount of the worms all coming out in the doody dead/not moving. This lasted about two days and then "tape" ered off (sorry can't resist the pun!). Within three days, no more rice around the bun hair, and no more coming out, and that was it. The tapeworm never returned....they tell you you may want to re-dose at two weeks to ensure they don't get reifected as the larvae hatch, but we never saw them again. Great product, no side-effects (it mentioned possible loose stool and lethargy, but we had none of that. Very happy.

I first used this de-wormer on a litter of 8 week old husky puppies that were displaying signs of having worms back in 2021. Sorry to be gross, but within an hour they were literally pooping out straight clumps of what looked like white spaghetti (aka tapeworms). It was disgusting, but the product worked super fast and within 4 hours or less they were parasite free, happy, healthy puppies (bonus there were no side effects). Then in 2022 I used the cat version on an adult male Maine Coon cat and though I couldn't see if it was as effective as the dog version (due to him covering his poop in the litterbox), within a day he was back to his normal self. I just purchased another bottle of the dog de-wormer yesterday due to my 10 month old husky displaying signs of worms after killing and partially eating an opossum about 2 - 3 weeks ago. And once again within 2 hours it started working and she had "spaghetti butt" poops as me and my husband termed it. Within 5 hours she was all cleaned out and seems to be parasite free and happy.

My dog apparently got a possum in the yard. He didn't eat it but must have carried it around to play with before I discovered it. Low and behold a week later he had a worm segment sticking out of his butt. I always thought his monthly heartworm medicine prevented other worms as well but apparently not. I treated him with this and it wiped them right out.

I'm glad tapeworm meds are now available to dogs without going to the vet. What makes me mad is that it didn't say how many pills to give my dogs by weight. There are only 5 pills per vial. The weight on the back specifies 3 for my medium size dog, and 5 for my XL dog which is more than sold in one vial. There are no dosage specifications shown in these photos. I had to go back to purchase another $30 vial that day to treat my larger dog so they were both treated. Show the dosing in the photos please!!!!!!

Good price and quality. Works well on the cats.

I gave my chihuahua the pill and the next day no more ‘rice looking’ pellets in the bed. I rolled it up in a piece of chicken breast and he ate it right up.

I’ve owned dogs for a long time and come from a family where I was outnumbered by dogs. :) A couple weeks after a run-in with fleas, I identified tapeworm segments in my older dogs stool. My other dogs are opportunistic poop eaters and I needed to take care of this ASAP. Now, it’s better to deworm them all at once to be safe, but I was not going to take all 4 of my dogs to the vet, pay the office visit, pay for a stool examination, and then pay top price for the same medication that I’m buying here.I calculated the amount of pills I needed for all my dog’s weights and ordered it. I fed it to them with some pieces of meat to make sure they didn’t spit them out. Then you have to be be diligent. Clean up all their poop after every outing and examine it. Make sure you don’t see any wriggling pieces of worm after the next few days to a week. Also, make sure to keep your dogs flea-free during this time to make sure they don’t swallow any other infected fleas. My doggie is back to her old self and is healthier looking now too. You may have to do a second round, but I was lucky. It worked on the first shot. Make sure you order the correct amount for your dogs’ weights and be diligent. Your dog will be parasite free without the hundreds of dollars of vet bills.
